“Can I go back right now?”
It is a great place on a beautiful beach. Tons of amenities and great staff. It is hard to describe, as it is definitely not a five star hotel, but met all our expectations and we had a great week. I would go back and am exploring visiting other Riu locations. If you get any services at the Spa ask for Joylene - best massage ever!
“Very good”
From the staff to the service for us was very good. Food, love the variety ,very nice. My family and friends will be back.
“Very nice”
Great time!
“impressive”
The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly and accommodating. I had 2 problems, one was the fact that there was no wireless internet service in the room and the service in the lobby was not very reliable. In addition, the cable service left much to be desired. The very few channels available were not visually or audibly desireable and not even a cartoon channel for the children. These areas definitely need to be improved.
“Will GO BACK ANYTIME!”
Food and entertainment was great! Staff was very welcoming and ambiance well put together. I would recommend Riu Hotel Ocho Rios to anyone.
“I would go back”
everything was great including the variety of food. only problem I had was the ants infestation. they really need to do something about that. other hotels in the area where I have stayed dont have this problem.
“Great in Areas horrible in others”
The hotel is beautiful! Reservations for nice restaurants book very quickly we were able to get a reservation for our last night at the resort. Personal opinion would be to create more sittings to accommodate. I feel for having a suite, there was no special accommodations, our maid service continually forgot to leave towels or hand towels and floor mats. When calling the front desk we received a very generic type responses and then would wait hours for delivery. One Day no towels is acceptable to me however by the third day in a row I was over the poor service. The entertainment staff is amazing and the shows are Great! Buffet food is not filled frequently and is often not fresh or cold. But the actual restaurant food is quite nice. Definitely explore around yet understand that we sometimes have a mentality that if we tip we get better service... I continually found this to not be true. Overall It was a pleasant resort. It is very nice, newer, plenty of staff on. The little things go a long way, and the resort could definitely use some work on the fine tuning of the small things.
“wish i was still there”
Great hotel! Staff was sooo friendly and fun! Hotel grounds are beautiful!
“"RIU Hotel, Not Impressed"”
My experience at the RIU was not impressive at all! One day they forgot to clean my room and I can to contact the front desk 3 times regarding the matter. The next day my tv was not working and I had to call the front desk twice before I had my tv replaced. I received a lot of attitude from the workers. Overall the customer service was horrible!
“AWESOME AND RELAXING VACATION!!!”
I loved this hotel, the people were extremely welcoming, courteous and nice. During check in you are welcome with a rum runner, yummy!! There are many fun activities throughout the day like aerobics on the beach, dance competitions by the pool, and amazing shows during the night. Bars are all over and the 2 swim up bars were my favorite. The beach is spectacular. Overall, Ocho rios, Jamaica has been one of my favorites caribbean destinations and staying at the RIU made it just Perfect!!! An absolute paradise!!!!
