    Great place to stay

    Fabulous hotel. Food was brilliant. Right on the beach. Friendly, energetic entertainment team but not intrusive. Only criticism is trips tend to be about 2 hours from venue but they are still worth going to. Although there is enough going on in the hotel not to leave.

    1st March till 14th

    Loved every minute of our two werk stay. We stayed in 1122 very spacious and cleaned . A couple of maintenance issues were sorted very quickly. All staff very friendly loved the main bar and the sports bar for a chill out. The singing barman was amazing. We got last flight home. Thank you for looking after us so well. Thinking about the Hotel and all the staff at this DIFFICULT time xxx

    You Won't Be Disappointed!

    We spent a week at the Riu Negril March 2020. We were impressed with the service, cleanliness of the resort and our room, friendliness of staff and the awesome food ( 3 cheers out to Keneil our waiter!)! Previous reviews for off shore snorkelling were positive but the best snorkelling was outside the buoyed boundaries and my wife was directed to go back do for safety reasons...primarily because speed boats pulling people on inner tubes were just outside the boundary points. We can go tubing up in Canada but we can't snorkel so it seemed unfair to be relegated to purchasing excursions to go snorkelling every day. Move the roped areas further out and direct the boats further away from shore and the coral that they can damage.. We took a Sunwing sponsored catamaran cruise which involved snorkelling, a trip to Margaritaville and Rick's Cafe which was enjoyable. Next time we would likely take the hotels excursion as Sunwing's booking involved unorganized transfers from the hotel . Our Sunwing agents were not as friendly compared to Westjet. If you can't wrap your head around the locals pedalling their stuff then this may not be the resort for you. Suggestions for the resort are: do not set out cutlery and turned up glasses at outside tables hours prior to people being served, as these tables were often used by people sitting down to wait for restaurants to open, have hand sanitizer machines in front of every restaurant, and have a towel service located down by the beach bar.

    Our 1st Jamaican trip

    We arrived in Montego bay to find both our cases were not there with us ! Tui took 4 days to find out it was on a Caribbean cruise without us. Was not impressed with Tui help as given a small amount £150 to buy what we needed for a week as the luggage did not appear till a week after us ! The Hotel was a different matter. The whole team were the best I've seen. From our request for a room next to all facilities to the amazing food booze and entertainment on offer. Staff so helpful and friendly a special mention to our favourite waiters Ottis and Peter who always welcomed us and spoilt us with their help and attention. Also our housekeeping lady in room 1010 who was so concerned about us having no luggage she checked on us daily. Beach was lovely and always loads of sun beds on the beach and around the pools But it was very noisy in the swim up bar pool but you could avoid that easily if you wanted to. We would go back to Jamaica and a Riu hotel again but think for the location for attractions we will return to Ocho Rios next time as such a long journey from Negril
