As one who does not find pleasure in criticizing, I'll first begin with the good attributes of Riu Negril. The common areas--the lobby, dining room, pool, the beach--were very lovely. Most of the staff were quite friendly during our stay. Grilled jerk chicken was served on the beach nearly every day and was definitely a treat. The drinks were flowing... More

I had never been to Jamaica before, so this was a new trip for me. I was traveling Feb 4-8, 2012 with a group of 6 girls (ages 28-34 years old) for a girls' weekend. I was overall very happy with our experience at RIU Negril (ClubHotel). With the exception of our check in experience (do you know you can't... More

In the lobby as I type this review. If you are looking for a clean resort w great bartenders, nice pools and a beautiful beach you will love this place. If you are looking for room service and fine dining you'll be heavily let down. My wife and I dont complain about much and we're happy overall w Riu Negril... More

After reading reviews of this hotel, we were a little worried, as we had already booked. However, we were pleasantly surprised. Everywhere was spotlessly clean, food was good and staff could not have been nicer or tried any harder to please. Would agree with review from Kath and Keith that it would have been good to have a quiet piano... More

It was a very good typical Riu hotel. Excellent choice of food, good pool areas and easy access to all facilities. The excursions were on the expensive side for example Dunns river trip was €275 each and 7 hours travelling, so we decided not to do it. It would have been nice to have a quite piano bar as some...

My husband and I stayed at the Riu from January 21-26th. I bought the trip through Apple as a square deal to surprise the hubby for our 5 year wedding anniversary. At first, after booking I was quite worried with reading all the horrific reviews. I cannot stress it enough on how inaccurate they are! We stayed in buidling 2.... More

We have just returned from a one week stay at the Riu Negril in Jamaica. Before we left I was very worried after reading some of the reviews others had written. But i must say these reviews were wrong. The Riu Negril is a lovely hotel, its staff are more than helpful. One comment said to bring cash to get... More

Just back; experienced all-inclusive traveler. Beautiful property, tons of fish. Saw starfish, conch, stingray, lots of pretty little fish everywhere but especially in the reserve area. Beach is nice; not the plush sand of Riviera Maya but decent. Never had a problem getting a chair; we were always out there by 10am. Never had a problem with beach towels. Were... More

Read this whole review for sure. It may be the only one you need to!! A little long but it will describe most of the experience perfectly along with the other great reviews from others you hopefully read. Let me start of by saying this was my 6th trip to Negril and first at this Riu so I feel I'm... More
