Have visited this hotel twice in the past year. Went back this March 2012 to get married because we liked it so much. The hotel is in a great position on the beach. There is a lake in the grounds of the hotel. Two swimming pools with swim up bars. Various restaurants to eat but I found the main restaurant... More

Had a great 2 weeks at this Riu Hotel staying 30/04 - 14/05 Like a great many other people I had read the many mixed reviews on this site so expecting the truth to lie somewhere midway I went with an open mind and this is what I found:- Check-in was relatively quick and easy. Short queue whilst you wait... More

Traveled to Riu for a family members wedding. I had read a lot of negative reviews of this resort, so I did not have high expectations. The check in process is a little bit of a nightmare. The desk clerk was new on the job and he was trying to check-in three people at once. Check-in took much longer than... More

Mixed reviews on this one. Stayed here in June of 2011 for 7 days with husband and 2 kids (4 and 5). It's a newer hotel on the beautiful north coast however, the rooms are showing wear and tear and have a moldy smell. When I returned from my trip my clothes still reaked of the moldy smell. The staff,... More

My two good girlfriends and I had an enjoyable weekend at the RIU - We received an upgraded room which made us very happy and the nice part is we didn't have to ask for it... The room was very clean and the bar was fully stocked with red stripe and Appleton liquor... the view was of the pool and... More

Just get back from visiting Riu Ocho Rios. What a beautiful resort. We travelled with our twin babies who are just under 2 years old. All the staff were very kid friendly and went out of their way to entertain them and make sure they had everything they needed. The bad... We had asked for (and were told by First... More

My experience here was a bit of a roller coaster at first... It started off as a 5 then quickly went to a 1 then I'd say it ended up close to a 4. We arrived at about noon and our room wasnt ready so we checked our bags and hit the pool/ pool bar. About 2 hours later we... More

My husband and I had booked the Jamaica 5 square deal for May 5-13 and was sent here. I don't get the complaints I read on TA and I was actually worried, but we had a fantastic time. Food was good and we always found something to eat at the buffet. Some of my favorite eats was the Crepe station... More

We had been to the RIU Ochy, several times in the past and had great experiences. It's now under new ownership. Everything about this hotel is lousy. Saty clear, don't go even if they offer you free accommodations. The staff are rude and unpleasant. The food is cheap and waful. Water is dirty. Entertainment is truly mediocre. This new managemnt...
