Hotel Riu Negril - All Inclusive

We traveled with our four kids, ages 21-15. The property was well laid out and the environment was gorgeous. The grounds staff do a fantastic job. The beds were very comfortable. Housekeeping was good. Overall the food was good. I did have some things too lukewarm which probably set up my stomach issues. I did not eat off property at all. There is one bathroom near the main restaurants and lobby, so it would be so much better if hand sanitizer stations were easily accessible in the buffet areas where the food is served. I had to visit the nurse and the bathroom for patient use was out of soap and hand sanitizer. The other negatives are the beach does have some solicitation for weed, etc. so sometimes we preferred to just stay up at the pool and the drive to the hotel was very slow. It’s under 30 miles from the airport but took nearly 2 hours. Interesting sights along the way, but it’s a drawback for booking Jamaica. The resorts/government should put money into the infrastructure of the country. Also, I was fevered and ill; my husband always got pushback from staff about bringing me simple food like rice. Scuba Caribe staff also great. Bloody Bay is so calm you can easily kayak or paddle board. The water is clear, but most of the sandy area we swam in was silty so it made it murky when you walked. Lots of sea grass which made for beautiful environment for the fish but clear blue water is on the other side of the bay. Seven mile beach is amazing! And so was Rick’s Cafe.

Everything was amazing. The only thing that I would complain about if I had to complain about anything would be the fact that consistently throughout our stay, there was people smoking in their room, which was causing our smoke alarms to go off several times a day and it was very annoying, but that’s not really the hotel’s fault that’s the people that don’t like to listen.

Love the stay! Will book again next time I’m in Jamaica/Negril!

The grounds were very clean, beach was beautiful and well kept, the staff was very friendly and the rooms were very nice. The only annoying thing was the guy that kept walking by everyday on the beach to ask if we wanted to buy marijuana in front of all of our children.
