Get back to nature at awe-inspiring Ocho Rios oceanfront all inclusive
The natural beauty of Jamaica radiates at ClubHotel Riu Ocho Rios, an all-inclusive resort on a half-moon cove. The resort features dramatic waterfalls and lush natural parks close to Ocho Rios rain forests. ClubHotel Riu Ocho Rios is family friendly, while couples and singles are drawn to the nightclub, spa and proximity to Dunn's River Falls. Beachgoers choose from a variety of water sports, though the plush loungers and swim-up pool bar are equally tempting. After sunset, guests are serenaded by live music and tempted by several dining options.

 

Highlights
  • Stunning beach, gardens and lush natural beauty
  • Wide variety of dining options
  • Live entertainment nightly
  • Close to Dunn's River Falls

The Renova Spa offers a variety of therapies, body and facial treatments, including couples and Swedish massages and the signature Renova Combination, a full 80 minutes of bliss.

Great for the money, but...

The Riu Ocho Rios is a beautiful place. There were many weddings during our stay, so obviously a lot of people view it as picturesque. The lobby looks great, the grounds are well kept, the beach and water are right off a post card. The rooms are nice but have a little mildew smell. However, that probably comes with the territory in the humid climate of Jamaica. The bed was hard by my standards, but I didn't really have any problems sleeping in it. The staff was all very friendly and helpful. The big negative for me was the food. While it seemed to be beautifully prepared, it wasn't that good. Almost every dish seemed to lack something or taste slightly off, as if the base products were of low quality. The liquor selection was also poor. While they offer any drink under the sun, the booze was far from top self. With that said, I ate and drank well. I would highly recommend any "station" they set up. If an individual chef makes your dish or drink fresh in front of you, it will probably be great. If you get it from the buffet or a pre-made bottle, it will probably be a little disappointing. The "reservation only" restaurants were kind of a joke. First you had to stand in line to make a reservation. They show you an impressive sounding menu for each restaurant before you choose. They also make it seem like they are extremely booked and it is very hard to squeeze you in, if they can at all. The second night we were there we had reservations at the Asian restaurant, but they couldn't get us in until 9:15pm. After eating the mediocre buffet food for a day and a half, and waiting until 9pm to eat dinner after a long day in the sun, we were extremely disappointed to walk-in to find that it was merely an Asian buffet, a poor one at that, and no one was even there. It was almost empty. We even saw the hostess turn down a couple who didn't have a reservation, even though the place was only about 20% full. To top it off, some of the items promised on the menu weren't even offered. The "gourmet fine-dining" restaurant was also disappointing and honestly the general buffet had better food. They basically just use a nicer place setting, and serve you at a table. This place was also not close to being full, even though it was hard to get a reservation there as well. For the money, I would rank the Riu as a 4.5 out of 5 stars, but I would not call it a five star place. As long you don't have very particular tastes, I think you'll enjoy your stay.

Great family fun

Just returned on 5-8-12. Had a great time. Entertainment group was phenomenal. They made the trip. Plenty of activities for the entire family. Food was pretty good. Jamaican cuisine very good. Everyday!! Not the best RIU I've stayed in but great for the price.. Pool needs to be cleaned & painted, beach really needs cleaning. To much seaweed & debris.. RIU must step up to the standard its known for. Other than the beach & cosmetics of the pool my stay was awesome. I would really recommend this hotel. They just have to tidy up a bit.

Great!

Had an awesome stay at the Riu...staff was more than friendly and made sure they took care of us every step of the way. Food and liquor was a bit boring after awhile but I guess you can't expect much better from an all-inclusive resort. But still great! Definitely recommend to ppl!

Good Time

Entertainment was awesome. All of the employees were so nice and welcoming. Location is the only downfall for this resort being it's a couple of miles away from downtown Ohco Rios. It was an all-around nice vacation and you couldn't beat the price.

Nice getaway

We traveled with three children ages 13, 10, and 5. We had a great time, the kids all had something to do...beach volleyball, soccer, kids club. We enjoyed the beach and the daily entertainments. The entertainment staff worked hard to make us have a good time and laughs. The room and food are average compared to the other all inclusive resorts we went to in the past.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Restaurant schedule is a bit complicated, so make sure you know where you will be eating. Food at all restaurants (except Asian) was hot and tasty. Fun for the whole family and a beautiful beach
