From the moment I arrived at the property, Beverly was determined to take excellent care of me. She embodies the true spirit of my island and reminded me what it means to experience genuine Jamaican love. The food was amazing, even my picky eater enjoyed every meal! My 7-year-old daughter felt so safe and comfortable that she confidently got her own food and visited the children’s club on her own. Words cannot express how proud I am of RIU Negril. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

This is my second time staying at this property, and it never fails. The staff are some of the most amazing people. Judith who is so very wonderful. She even remembered us from our trip two years ago. She provided the best drink service on the beach. Shanese who always made sure our room stayed clean, and boy did shane and Powell show us great service at the buffet. These people certainly deserve a raise, and to be praised. Thank them for me for all they do. I hope theybare there when we return. Best place ever!
