This is a big hotel (900 rooms) but it hasn't lost the personal touch. It employs more than enough staff and the facilities are maintained in excellent condition. The choice and quality of food is great and the bars are open serving cocktails etc 24/7. The standard room had a very comfortable kingsize and standard double bed plus a sea... More

I have been to the Riu in Nigril and loved it, Riu in Ocho Rios I liked but didn't love. Lets start at the begining shall we. After an almost 4 hour plane ride we had to endure a 2 hour bus ride with multiple stops for the bus staff to get beer and try and sell it to you... More

We had a blast! This was our second Riu stay (first one was Riu Tequila). I have to admit I did like Riu Tequila (good place for the price). Riu Ocho Rios blew it out of the water. Food - on resort was great - off resort was AMAZING. Mom's Restaurant and Scotchie's were both exceptional. Evitas was great too.... More

Just returned from our vacation in Ocho Rios. We stayed from Jan 28-Feb 4, 2012. It was honestly so much fun! Everyone was great and friendly from the moment we landed. The shuttle bus ride was great and fun. Our driver was really kind and gave us a little history while driving. Check-in process was well organized and didn't take... More

I am glad some of the recent reviews gave credit where credit is due. Our vacation was awesome. We went with 2 other couples who like us were very pleased with the food, the beach, entertainment, and special Jamaican flare. This was our 2nd time there and we have had no complaints. Hotel and service are quick and efficient, the... More
