The bar is stocked, the pool is refreshed and it's about to be drink o'clock. It's Jamaica, mon, and you're at the RIU where you get everything you've been dreaming of. Better still, the people are happy, the sun is shining and your mood is about to get a little cheerier. You've just found your perch along the smooth sands. Next you'll hit the pool, then the spa, because one thing is certain - this is your vacay and you get to live on island time. Awwww. Those swaying palms are calling your name.

Adult family celebration/ vacation
We had a great time! The resort was comfortable, well maintained and clean. The food choices were plentiful and good. Remember for one of the night Restuarants men need to have pants. That was a bummer as only one member of our group brought pants... please note even if the pants are jeans and have holes you can get in.... Did not seem necessary as our group had nice dress shorts and collared shirts and were turned away :( Other than this silly rule and the fact that the staff claimed that our building ONLY had King size beds and we were told when we booked the trip that we would have one room with 2 double beds the entire experience was spectacular! Compared to other Caribbean vacations we would rate the beaches as better with no seaweed on beach and wonderful snorkeling right on our resort beach. Locals roaming beach selling items were a bit more annoying and we missed waitresses on the beach! Only one beach bar, however, great jerked chicken hut right on the beach! I would highly recommend the trip to Ricks Cafe by catamaran boat - we had a rainy start, however a glorious sunset to end the trip! Overall a trip to remember!
The resort was great. Although the airline lost our luggage the staff was comforting and willing to help when they could. One staff member got my boyfriend a pair of pants so we could go to a sit down dinner for his birthday. The food was okay beside the seafood was way overcooked. The staff was entertaining and made our trip.

Riu Negril was a great choice. From the moment you walk into the resort they're greeting you with refreshment and the staff is super friendly. You have many restaurants to choose from and the food was delicious. They made you feel right at home. It was my cousin birthday they send us bottles of champagne to our room and made reservations at one if the gourmet restaurant at the resort. They sang her happy birthday and made her a cake. Entertainment in the resort was excellent. There's a different show every night. It's eat and drink til you drop. I would definitely come back to Riu.

Generally the best time of year to travel when looking for a cheaper rate (regardless of whether you are traveling as a double occupant or a single traveler) is in the late summer and fall. One of our reservations agents might be able to assist you with some destinations and pricing if you call us at 1-800-915-2322

How do we find the price of extending the stay beyond the 5-day package?3 answers
We still want the air travel included.
6 years, 73 months ago
judy
If you are pricing the package on the website, below the resort description, you should see the option to add or subtract days. If the package is offered with a minimum 4 day stay you would add one day and on the calendar below it would add an additional day to your range of dates. Alternatively, you can use the orange-Create Your Own Vacation- box on the left side of the page and enter in the dates you wish to travel. The package will price at whatever special is available for that range of dates.

We stayed 8 nights and traveled from Friday thru Saturday and got fantastic deals. I think you find better pricing leaving on Thursday or Fridays.

What is the best way to get airport transportation to and from this facility?6 answers
5 years, 64 months ago
Melissa
CheapCaribbean offers a round trip transfer service with Jamaica Tours Limited that would be able to provide you with pick up on your arrival and vise versa on the way back.
DanielleCC
make sure you have it through your travel agent. make sure you check your reservation papers to make sure that. taxi to this hotel was $80.
kaycie
I purchased mine thru priceline.com with a compnay called Jamaica tour link - the drivers were very nice and friendly and it was the cheapest place I could find for the transfers.
tlgm
Get the airport transfers with your package.
notaworldtraveller
Take the shuttle that Cheapcarribean.com reccommends.
stcbill
You can book from the website and include it in your package. We did this and it was very economical. The company was called Jamaican Tours Ltd and they were great.
Squishne
The services offered by Island Routes (normally offered when you book through CheapCarribean) are just as cheap and good as any other. They are large travel buses that wait for you in the parking lot of the Airport. You generally have time to grab a beer before hopping on board and waiting for some of the capacity to fill before they head out. Expect a little over an hour ride from MoBay to the resort.

How's the beach? Looking for a white, sandy beach!6 answers
5 years, 63 months ago
IL
Some will argue that the nicest beaches are in Negril and worth the long drive from the airport!
KellyCC
Hotel Riu Negril is located in Bloody Bay which is right around the corner from 7 mile beach which has the most beautiful white sandy beach. The beach at the Riu is very nice, just not the beautiful white sandy beach
tlgm
Man made beach with sand brought in. Not white but light colored. We didn't have any problems, although the water in the swim area is a little foggy. I think because it is on the bay and they're are boats and jet skis all the time, in the morning before everything got going it was much clearer. You could still see the bottom all the time though. The 7 mile beach was much whiter and clearer water.
notaworldtraveller
it is not white...very light colored...beautiful beach and easily accessed. after speaking with other people who had traveled..they agreed this was probably most beautiful beach in caribbean!
Ahamrick
Beautiful white sandy beach!!
Scooterbutt
If you want white as white gets, then one of the resorts sitting on 7-Mile Beach further towards downtown would be more ideal.
This beach has beauitful water and great sand, but the best part is that no buildings or resorts sit next to it. So you have unhinabited beaches to walk down in seclusion to enjoy yourself, not being bothered by mass amounts of people or society in general. Much more serene at night then any resort sitting on 7-Mile.

Can you walk from this resort to 7 mile beach?7 answers
5 years, 61 months ago
Jan
As you are not able to make the full walk on the beach and must walk on the road to get to 7 Mile BEach from the Riu, a cab is the best mode of transportation.
KristinCC
heck no! not safely
JMEP
Not reccommended, it is a little too far, no sidewalks and the road is too narrow.
stcbill
This property is located on 7 mile beach, so yeah for sure.
Squishne
You can but it will not be a short walk and one you would most likely only want to do during the cool hours of broad daylight.
The resort will also provide a taxi option which a $5 tip can cover the ride.
Jammon
You can but you need to walk on the road as the beach stops at a point and then there is Hedonism that you won't be welcome at! lol. Its a long walk but we did it and it was beautiful.Stay on the road till you pass Hedonism and then you can walk the rest of the way on the beach.

How and when do you make reservations for dinner8 answers
5 years, 61 months ago
Jan
Typically you make dinner reservations that morning and would make them either with the concierge or guest relations or the front desk. You are not able to make reservations prior to your arrival and the resort will advise you at check in of the reservation procedure.
ccsusan1
you better call before you leave. it's a two day advanced notice you need. it's a joke. don't go.
JMEP
There is a women who sits outside of the shop to take reservations. you can make reservations the same day if they are not filled up.
SunGodess
there is a table for reservations in the main lobby. from 8 - 3pm...you make reservations for 3 days later. kinda hard to do!
Ahamrick
2 days prior to the meal. They take reservations from 10am to 3pm daily.
stcbill
You sign up in the lobby between 8 am and 3 pm
Scooterbutt
The resort has an employee sitting by a desk in the main lobby, morning through lunch (you will be shown this desk when you first arrive).
You are required to make your reservations at least 1 day prior, and before 12:00PM.
There is of course no penalty for no-showing, so it never hurts to just lay your name down.
Jammon
Reservation need to be made 2 days ahead and they start taking them at 8AM and if you want early sitting you better be IN LINE before 8am to get it. I was not impressed with their reservation system.

The adult rate at RIU Resorts begins at the age of 13 years old. Unfortunately, they have a maximum occupancy of 3 adults in one room. An alternate resort would need to be chosen in order to accommodate 4 people in one room. Please feel free to call and speak with one of our experienced Beach Experts via telephone. Our office is open daily from 5am - 3am EST and there is no additional charge for agent assistance.

I don't remember exact prices, massage maybe $80 -$100. However when we got there the first day they were offering "specials" at a % off. We also got a $35 voucher for spa treatments when we booked. Our travel companion got a full body massage and loved it. I believe he paid around $70 plus tip.

Both properties are located on Bloody Bay Beach, Riu Negril is next to Riu Palace Tropical Bay.
KellyCC
Yes and only a 10 minute walk down the beach!
Krista
Yes - that resort cost more and has more rest. and food options. It is right next to Rui and a long walk away - up the beach. So if you walk the locals will ask you to buy things until you get to next resort. I walked the beach but took taxi back to my resort. They have a show every night at the Rui not sure about the Rui Palace. You get a little more at the Palace but not sure what that is ?
beachlover2218
Yes it is and it is on the same beach prolly a 5min walk Riu Negril is the nicer of the Two.
TexasGirlAsh
The Riu Palace and Riu Negril are sister hotels located about a half mile apart on Bloody Bay Beach. During the day people walk from one hotel to the other along the beach visiting shops along the beach on their way.
Jann
They are a short walk down the beach. They are next to each other but there is some separation with some beach huts selling trinkets in between. I ran along the beach and was at the other RIU in 1 minute. Not sure if I would walk it at night but during the day nothing to worry about.
majic
The Riu Tropical Bay is pretty close, you can see it from this Riu, but I'm not sure it's one of their palace hotels.

They are within walking distance on the beach, maybe 1/2 mile. They are sister hotels but if you book at the Riu Club you can NOT have dinning or bar benefits at the Palace

Our flight would put us at the hotel around noon. Can we arrange for early check in? If so, is there an extra charge?5 answers
4 years, 50 months ago
New York
You may request early check-in, but it cannot be guaranteed. It would simply be a request, and all requests are subject to availability at the time of arrival. If early check-in does not work out, most resorts will hold your luggage for you at the front desk until the scheduled check-in time, allowing you to relax and enjoy the beach, pool, or other facilities while your room is prepared.
BILLCC
Nope, we got there at noon and couldn't get in until 3:00.
1000words
even if you get there at noon, you probably wont be at the hotel until 2-3 between immigration and the long ride to the hotel. At that point they should have a room ready for you.
chch
We arrived around noon and were told to enjoy the facilities (pools, restaurants, beaches, etc.) but the rooms wouldn't be ready until 2:45.
smspeakman
We got there about noon and went straight to our room at no additional charge. So assuming we your room is ready you can have it.

Do they have high end booze? If not what kinds of vodka, whiskey do they have?2 answers

Bethune
I can't speak on specific brands but it would definitely be more local Jamaican brands than top shelf name brands. The Palace side (Riu Palace Tropical Bay) would have a better selection of imported name brand liquors.

It was All Jamaican products and very good

Do you offer premium liquors2 answers
My family and friends are trying to decide on a resort for our trip to Jamaica. There will be around 40 of us. Most of us like drinks like Hennessy, Patron, Gray Goose, Courvosier. Do you offer any of those drinks? That is a key factor for us. Can be a deal breaker.
