RIU Montego Bay Feb 21, 09 – Feb 28, 09 Holiday booked through CAA Travel This was a package vacation developed in conjunction with 3 local radio stations. There were over 200 people booked for the package, which gave the CAA team some leverage with resort management. The CAA team pre-booked our off-resort excursions, prior to our leaving Canada. I... more

First let me say that I travel to Jamaica 4-5 times per year. I've stayed at 2 Superclubs properties, Riu Ocho Rios, Gran Bahia Prinicipe, and several private villas on both the North & South coast of the island. Iberostar Rose Hall is by far the best. I watched over the period of a year this property being erected while... more

I wasn't going to bother writing a review but I think people in the same mindset deserve to hear all ends of the spectrum! We booked this hotel as a short getaway last year. We are both in our early 30's, travel quite a bit. We live in NYC. After reading all the stellar reviews for this hotel we made... more

My husband and I went just to get away. When we got there we wanted to pay for a room upgrade. We knew that we were going to do this and had actually called the resort to ask if we could do it as soon as we got in, we wanted to do it there because we wanted to look... more

I've read many reviews and several were negative, but I must say that the authors of those reviews are probably chronic complainers and try to find fault with everything! My husband and I stayed at this resort for what we called our "belated honeymoon". We had an outstanding time. I've been to several hotels in the last 10 years and... more

This resort was the sixth Caribbean all-inclusive resort my wife and I have visited the past three years. Unfortunately, this was a very forgettable trip. We reserved the trip through Bookit.com. While the reservation was easy to make, Bookit failed to notify us of a time change in our flight to Jamaica. Fortunately, we discovered the change ourselves when we... more

The hotel is absolutely beautiful but it all ends there. The beds are like sleeping on rocks, the sheets were pilled and like sandpaper. There is no bottled water at the pool, no waitress/server for drinks. When going to the pool bar, frequently greeted with rude comments about hurrying up with the order. Went to play tennis, they gave us... more

Overall, this hotel was a very nice hotel. Little nuisances do occur however. The staff is extremely friendly, want you to have a good time and enjoy your vacation and will do what they can for you. The restaurants are very good and the buffets have something for everyone. Jacuzzis in the room (even in the cheapest rooms!). Wonderful beaches,... more

We have been to Jamaica 8 times, and this was our first trip with a group of families. We had no children with us, but our friends did. The resort's layout was great: very spacious with something for everyone. This is a good place to go if you are happy with the basics: the rooms are very plain, and there... more

This resort is a twenty minute drive from the airport-it was great to sit on the beach and watch the planes fly over. There is a shuttle to and from the airport. The resort has security and we were travelling with our teenage son and felt very safe letting him roam the propery. There are four pools and three beaches.... more

My boyfriend and I were at the RIU from 2/5 - 2/10 and loved every minute of it. The resort is beautiful and only about 2 miles from the airport, which makes it easy to be on the beach within an hour of your plane touching down. There are 3 separate "reservation" type restaurants that you can choose from and... more

DO NOT BOOK THIS RESORT...if you are going on vacation to relax. There is construction on the beach, and on the grounds. The customer service was horrible. The lunch meat looked like it was from another planet. Not to mention the discoloration from being set out at the wrong temperature. If you wanted the "better food" you had to arrive... more

The owner will tell you just about anything she feels you want to hear before booking...Yes, you can have a balcony, yes, you will have a view of the see and yes you can walk to the beach, and the restaurants are accessible...When we arrived there, they tried to give us the room on street level with no balcony, no... more

We spent the last 4 days of our Jamaican vacation at Round Hill. What a way to wind things up. We stayed in a villa with views in all directions, out into the Caribbean and back toward Montego Bay. We enjoyed a private pool and our housekeeper/ cook spoiled us with delicious made to order breakfasts and an occasional fruit... more
