We have just returned from the Riu on May 14 for a destination wedding. My wife had been to Jamaica before and had always raved about it, so I took a chance in spite of the negative comments that showed on Advisor. From the time we arrived at the airport until we departed, the trip was fabulous. Friendly people, helpful... More

My wife and I went here from 5/14/12 to 5/18/12 and had a great time. Pros: Beach, Clean Room, Great Drinks, Great Reef just out from beach for snorkeling. Cons: Signing up for ala carte. Somewhat of a long ride from airport. Alot of pot smoking. Generally speaking, it is a nice resort. The gal that does the signing up... More

Overall our trip wasn't too bad. Honestly the most fun we had was off the resort. YS Falls is absolutely amazing. The zip lining is a must and the crew up there are hilarious and fun! Rick's Cafe was worth seeing but that's about it. Snorkeling was amazing on the Rick's cruise. And we even squeezed in some horseback riding... More

Let me begin by saying that I truly had a wonderful time in Negril. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the staff was and how well they treated us. I would like to give a big THANK YOU to the following staff; Nynkiah Bennett, Chevine, Spider Man, Chadwick and Ricardo on the entertainment staff. Also, my peeps working in... More

BACKGROUND: We have traveled world wide, 6 of seven continents and over 35+ countries and for the most part have always had good luck with our travels. We don't always stay in 5 star hotels, and are very open to cultures and new locations. This trip to Jamaica was a bust...we were to go to a wedding near the Riu... More

Overall, if it weren't for the people we met, this would have been an extremely disappointing vacation. The beach is nice and this place has an OK staff, but it is dirty, very dirty. First off, you need to be careful what you eat at this resort. With the exception of the jerk chicken, the majority of the food was... More

This was our first time travelling to Jamaica. We are a family of 4 with children 3 & 7. We’ve been to Punta Cana, Mayan Riviera and Cuba and decided to try Jamaica with friends who travel there annually but have never been to Negril. We were there for 9 days from April 10 to 19. Our disappointment started when... More

We stayed at the Riu Negril from May 5-12 2012. For the price I regret not going to Cuba and saving several hundred. Upon arrival we were greeted and provided room keys immediately however told that our rooms would not be ready until 3pm. I understand that check in is at 3pm, but if you have a 6 month old... More
