This place really is stunning. The beach is exquisite, water warm, crystal clear and calm. We were able to convince them to give us an upgrade from a junior ocean front suite to a ocean front suite. It was really lovely. However, for two days we had a parade of maintence staff fixing the safe, TV, remote, sewage odor in... more

We just got back from a five day stay at the Riu Tropical Bay. First the good news: if you are looking for calm water and soft sand, you've found it. The beach is narrow but long, and you can lounge near the center of the action (very loud music and activities) , or go further along for some quiet.... more

We were married on November 7, 2009. We had 17 total friends and family with us from all over the U.S. and even Australia.

We stayed with a group at the end of October. It was beautiful. The hotel staff are fantastic; very helpful and always with a smile. The Jamaicans know their hospitality and show it. Even catching the eye of a staff worker brought a smile and even sometimes a song. The rooms are nicely done - ours did have a bit... more

We stayed at the palace between October 7th and 21st and i have got to say the whole hotel was beauiful. We were a little worried about the reports we read on here and cannot understand why anyone would not enjoy or give this hotel the respect it deserves. We were shown to our room which i have to say... more
