Staff was a amazing during my stay. Hurricane Melissa hit and the staff didnt miss a beat. They kept us fed and entertained in such a tragedy for the country. I have nothing but praises for the Riu Palace AQUARELLE in Jamaica what an amazing job they did for the people during the Hurricane and aftermath, enough cant be said I applaud them and recommend this Riu AQUARELLE once everything is back up amd running

I have visit Jamaica several times at different resorts and this one was the worst of them all. First let me say no hot water to shower. I thought it was just my room but the entire hotel had no water. When the water came back on it was lukewarm. We didn't get hot water until time for me to go which was 4 days later. The restaurants did not have a good selection for those that have special dietary needs. The staff walked around with attitude the entire time. The worst group was at the steak house. The best part of this vacation was the entertainment specially The Silver Band they did an awesome job. This was my first time at a RIU resort and not sure if I would give them another try.
