Riu Montego Bay - All Inclusive

Hotel is very close to the airport; pro:10 min. traveltime con: planes come overhead about once an hour. The food was good and plentiful and the drinks were flowing. Pool was fantastic and not to overcrowded, loungers were always available. The beach had some close seawead that could be cleaned up to give more room for swimming but it was a great place to hang out . Most of the service people were nice and helpfull.Overall well worth the price.

the best of all was the staff very friendly and very helpful

15 min from airport. Roomy lobby, quick check in (they prepare package in advance). Luggage delivery to room is slow (end up doing myself). Pool is great. Beach is small (look at satellite images), water is bit shallow and muggy. Food was ok (especially for spice lowers). Bars were ok as well. Entertainment was ok but almost none for kids. Stuff looked like many trainees among trained. Check out was quick. Average for the money.

From the beautiful lobby and pool area to the white sand strip of beach, you will feel like your getting your moneys worth. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean. Not the biggest TV but who is there to watch. Only soap provided, no shampoo or lotions. My one negative was dinner which was fair. Breakfast was great and lunch was very good. Close to the airport and you do get the occasional plane over head, but it is a minor distraction.

Pros: Great location, friendly staff, close to the beach, good food. Close-ish to downtown Mo-bay. Cons: Taxi's are expensive from the hotel to anywhere, poolside can get loud/roudy - not a bad thing if that's what you're looking for.

We have stayed at many Riu resorts in the Caribbean and in Jamaica (both of the Negril ones) and this one is the least impressive. The food was terrible and the reservation restaurants were still basically buffet style and also not very good at all. The airport is convenient but that means that planes are flying over all day which is a tad disturbing of paradise, but like all places in Jamaica, the people on staff were absolutely fantastic. I would recommend the two Riu resorts in Negril over this one. The value was excellent as was the convenience to the airport and to Half Moon Resort's equestrian center (a bonus for us).

Great trip, nice resort, stayed at another Montego Bay hotel last year and actually like the Riu Montego Bay a little more. Decent food, lots to do through out the day and even at night and loved that they had a small sports bar so we could watch the NFL football playoff games. Would not hesitate to book this hotel again.

Good food ,Great location, Hospitable staff,clean rooms and a clean resort

This was a great vacation and I have few complaints. The staff was very nice, the place beautiful, and the rooms and facilities were very clean. The food was okay -- don't go to the sit-down restaurants because they're not good -- and plentiful. Highlights of the Riu are the jerk chicken hut as well as the nice pool and beach. Everyone was super accommodating and it was easily the most relaxing vacation I've ever taken. I would go back here in a heartbeat.

Overall the property was on par with other all inclusives. The grounds were well kept and the buildings/ rooms were clean. The beach real estate was lacking. Difficult to find a spot. Amazing Swimming Pool made up for the mediocre beach. Drinks were flowing non-stop. I think they wanted to keep you drunk so you didn't notice how bad the food was. I actually lost weight while on vacation. Housekeeping was slow to respond to needs. I learned to fend for myself or go without. Overall,it was a good experience. If you want a GREAT vacation, bring your own fun.
