  Not my favorite resort experience

  I was extremely disappointed with my stay at Riu Reggae.This is my 3rd stay at a Riu resort and up to this point I have been very pleased with both the Riu in Ochos Rios and the one in Negril.The Riu Reggea however did not live up to their normal standards.The food was very good if slightly limited compared to other resorts, however that is really the only good thing I can say about this resort.I found the desk staff to be less accommodating than usual ,my room had multiple issues including a television with 2 permanent lines across it,faulty light switches and extremely high levels of noise .I am not really a person who feels the need to review my trips however in a group of 8 people (4 rooms) all were left disappointed and many we spoke with felt the same way including one guest who was a travel agent and one who frequently visits resorts up to 5 times a year

  Amazing island and holiday

  Travelled with my partner to Riu Reggae, both late 30s. We had a great time here at the hotel and in Jamaica as a whole. We've stayed at many Riu hotels in the past, so we always kind of know what to expect. Rooms are the same as most Riu hotels, optics are a great touch. The room was cleaned every day, and the mini fridge was restocked every other day. The entertainment team work tirelessly to keep you entertained, and the shows they put on in the evening are amazing considering it's a hotel and they have already done a 10-hour shift. Grease, the Jamaican theme show and the rock show were my stand-out favourites. Thank you to Teddy, Bubbles, Raptor, Omar and the rest of the gang for their hard work. Keep an eye out for Marko's robot dance absolutely amazing. Shout out to Sharon and RogarRoy at the pool bar, always so polite and serve with a smile. Sharon is also lovely, don't let her angry look face out you off ha! ha! The only downside to bars is why do Americans insist on sitting at them to drink. It just causes chaos and doesn't allow others to get to the bar to order. Food was really good, we stayed for 14 nights, so got a bit of the same near the end, Asian restaurant was good, Italian could do with more choice and steak house for that matter also. My only moans are Americans sitting at the bar order a drink then move so the next people can order, and then around 3 pm they switch off the reggae and turn on loads of American hip/hop/R&B but more hood music which I couldn't understand your I Jamaica embrace the culture. But I guess the hotel has to cater for what is 80% of their guest. One tip I would give is to bring bug spray. I don't normally get bitten, but I was almost eaten alive over here.

  Huge Disappointment

  Been here for Two days and I wouldn’t come back!! Way to rowdy!! Half naked girls walking around all day and night lots of twerking and drinking! Puke on the pool deck! I am sitting on my patio 11:35 pm cant sleep as loud music is blaring by the pool! Boring here nothing to do at night unless you like being drunk and stoned 247!! Would not recommend this resort unless you’re in your early 20’s and like to party all day and night! Not for me! So disappointed ☹️ waist of money! The only thing good is the food and drinks!

  Been to better Riu hotels

  Maybe not for over 60s wanting a quiet holiday. We did like this hotel but very party oriented with young adults twerking and drinking constantly. We avoided a lot of these swim up bar activities. The animation team made our holiday great. Plenty games not drinking ones to keep us amused. Lost count of amount of coffee we won 😂 . Started handing it out. Only thing we didn’t like was you got stoped and couldn’t cross the beach at the next hotel the palace . Bizarre as three Riu hotels in a row and the other two could come into ours but we weren’t allowed near theirs.

  Enjoyable holiday

  We have just returned from an 11 night stay at Riu reggae and overall, we had an enjoyable experience. I will start with the positives, the resort is spotlessly clean, from the rooms to the restaurants to the communal toilets. The food is also good at this resort (although at times it did get a little repetitive) there was always plenty of variety and we didn’t go hungry. The selection of drinks on offer was also very good and there were plenty of cocktails to choose from. Some of the staff (in particular the animation team and pool bar staff) were really friendly and worked really hard to keep guests entertained day and night. The white party and the foam party at the pool were also great fun. There is plenty to do at this hotel including non motorised water activities like peddle boats and kayaks at no extra cost and you will definitely be entertained! Now where the hotel falls short. It is in definite need of a facelift. The hallways look tired and dreary. The rooms are very basic and apart from optics in the room there isn’t much that’s appealing about them. The pool could also do with some maintenance as there were quite a few broken tiles. The beach isn’t the best either as it is man made, although you are able to go in the sea and the water is pleasant. The restaurants that are supposedly ‘al acarte’ basically just serve the same food that is available in the buffet restaurant but they plate it up to make it look good. The hotel could also be loud when trying to sleep because of other guests being loud due to being drunk and playing loud music. This happened in the morning time and late at night. I get people are on holiday enjoying themselves but have a bit of consideration for other guests who are sleeping or trying to sleep. There were plenty of other places they could go if they wanted to make noise! I also hate to complain about staff because they all do work very hard but some of the maids would sing and play music while out in hallways in the morning and while I don’t begrudge them some enjoyment while carrying out their work, I don’t think it’s appropriate when guests are trying to sleep in their rooms and there are multiple rooms with the ‘do not disturb’ sign on the doors. Overall, I’d say if you were travelling with friends and are after a good time and want to party, then this is a great choice for you and you will definitely enjoy yourself. However, if you’re looking for something a little more luxurious and relaxing then this may not be the place for you. If I was travelling in a group with friends, I would consider returning here if they made some updates to the hotel but if it were just me and my partner I would most likely choose somewhere else.
