RIU MONTEGO BAY . THE ONLY REVIEW YOU NEED TO READ
This is a long detailed 100% HONEST REVIEW, If you dont like to Read then keep scrolling but if you want the Real Tea get your drink and WELCOME!!! 😃 My husband and I recently stayed at Riu Montego Bay, and when I tell you, this Riu is an entire vibe from sun up to sundown. and that's what I absolutely love the most about this Riu and the fact that it's an all adults resort. First when we initially checked in it was early I left a note on my reservation informing that we will be arriving early so our room not being ready was not a issue, but we was able to enjoy the resort which was so much appreciated. Front Desk staff was so accomadating, I can't specifically remember each name, but all Front Desk staff was amazing and very kind to us. Next, let's just get through the food at this Resort, it's always something to eat and that's all that should be important, but I know some guests are particular with the Food so I definitely will not be biased just because I love this Resort so much. This is a 100% honest review I almost didn't want to share this Amazing Gem 😍 😆 🤣 😂 but Riu is well known and the Resort definitely deserves to read how much they are appreciated., OK so back to the Food, everyone taste are different my family is jamaican and I was raised in a jamaican household so Jamaican authentic dishes is what I am use to., I can say too much curry chicken is possible hopefully that can be changed, We had curry chicken morning noon and night that's too excessive. Lunch at the Buffet had the best options and was always really good. Breakfast I can say waking up in the morning and having to go order my eggs was always stressful because the girl that was making the eggs ALWAYS AND I MEAN EVERY MORNING had an attitude and because she don't want to be there it shows in her work which transfers to your amazing guests 🙃at the start of our day, because that ruins our very first important meal of the day. If I can suggest to have a stand up meeting with that staff and let them know how important their job is to guests and we do appreciate them. They just have to show that they appreciate and welcome the guests as well. When I return, I will update management and inform you if the omelet station staff has improved. It's a domino affect and I love my culture. I am not the guest that complains just because I paid, I encourage you all to be the best that brings more top reviews which will keep your location on top which in return is better for everyone.😃 The food at the Pool area was good it's fresh and the side dishes with the Jerk chicken was also amazing. We only had the chance to try the Italian la carte restaurant and I can honestly say that chef is A NO. I love the salad bar there if we decide to eat there again it will be for the salad bar the options was all Fresh and I love excellent salad choices. As for the sports bar. We need improvement especially on the nights of the parties it has to be replenish more often throughout the day and night. Management kindly encourage that. So as you can tell if you read this far, the Food is overall excellent at this Resort, any further negative reviews can and should be ignored. Now let's get to the Lifeguard Staff, this will be quick. when we first arrived they was unpleasant more focused on their next hook up with there preference of ladies then attentive to the guests needing assistance with the pool chair covers etc; but after discussing this with management We can tell by their further actions that someone actually did have a discussion with them. Which was very much appreciated. They was so much more polite and helpful which is what's needed because honestly you will end up spending most of your day at that main pool area. The staff that Collect towel cards which could be the same staff as Lifeguards but they where soo kind at the towel card station and welcoming, which is so refreshing early in the morning. The Fitness staff is just pure exquisite at what they do especially the young lady who does Yoga and morning workout, NOW WE REACH THE FUN YOU ALL READDY ENTERTAINMENT I can honestly say I stayed at all levels of Resorts in Jamaica From Royalton in Negril both the Riu in Negril to Breathless and Jewel Grande in Mobay and NO ONE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE AS FROM A WEEK AGO to today Tops Riu Montego Bay at Entertainment and I hope they do not change that at all. I love ❤️ 😍 💖 the pool bartenders they make the absolute best drinks, which will be mostly the same bartenders in rotation you will get at the night shows and parties. As a married couple we go on vacation to Party and that's what RIU MONTEGO BAY GIVES A authentic Jamaican party experience for all and I so love and appreciate them for that. We made sure every day we didn't miss the entertainment team at 3pm. Rolly Polly OMG I LOVE HER SOOO 😍 MUCH her personality is made specifically for entertainment. I just want her to host the entertainment activities every day. She is Flawless and Amazing. The rest of the team is Amazing as well. But I just love me some Rolly Polly. So with all that being said I definitely canceled my birthday stay at Azul and Breathless, and Azul was giving me a free night stay. Just so i can stay at Riu Negril for a few days We want to support the reopening and share content on what it will be like when they just reopen. but after that I will forwarding right back to celebrate my actual birthday AT RIU MONTEGO BAY. NO U turn or wrong turns will be made. After sharing my content on our stay everyone been asking me and wants to come to Riu Mobay. as they should, My niece will be celebrating her 21st birthday as well there So I will be seeing you all real soon in 5 weeks and counting its no Party Like a Riu Mobay celebrating Sagittarius season Party and when we say we will return Yeaa we meant real soon. Like 5 weeks soon, Looking forward to every minute. Oh real quick also on Wednesday they did a collab for Riu guests with one of the Top lounge spot in mobay I want to remember the name so bad so I can share with those who took their quality time to read my storybook but hopefully it's something that will be done on the regular and you will be able to experience that lounge once you book Riu Montego Bay. When I go back I plan to go if they have it so I will get content to post on that as well. SUGGESTION: Most already know but see to it you tip all staff and even management that you encounter that contributes to your stay not because dem ah beg yuh because they not doing that. It's because they truly deserve it. OMG I almost forgot to mention the rooms and housekeeping staff. They are not to talkative only because they are focused on doing an excellent job Our Room was spotless and so comfortable every day and our housekeepers was amazing. The Grounds are also amazingly kept and Resort is spotless. The waitstaff in dining room was also really nice and professional I Will add a few videos of our stay to my storybook review. Hope this helps and remember when you ready to TURN UP you don't need to look no further than Riu Montego Bay. Safe Travels to all 😊 I tried it's not allowing me to post my content on here

Family Trip
I probably would not return to this resort. However, our family had a good time and needed the getaway from home. It is a great place to relax, but the party atmosphere that was advertised was nowhere to be seen. I will say we did not ever make it to the club, but if that’s the only place there is to party then this should not be labeled as a “party resort.” The food was decent, but much better off the resort. Reservations weren’t always easy to make as the restaurants close on odd days of the week. No need to pay for a shopping excursion, there is plenty of tourist type shopping, literally across the street in the shopping center where it is safe to walk.
