I stayed here at RIU first time in 🇯🇲. I’ll be back and maybe visit another resort but I enjoyed everything here at RIU❤ the white party is a must-attend🇯🇲
Can I ask how/why this is regarded as the best hotel? Never stayed there, but stayed at the reggae and palace alongside, both for me being better, as you can also use all the facilities in this hotel too.
At this Riu location, my experience was very good. The staff was pleasant and helpful, it was located only 5 mins away for MBJ Airport in Ironshore a beautiful neighborhood in Montego Bay. The food, beach, pool and overall atmosphere was great. Certainly, everyone has a different experience but for me it was good.
@ Great to hear, I have enjoyed my stay at both hotels that I stayed in and would certainly return, although not the best one I have stayed in on my trips to Jamaica. I haven’t stayed in them all, so can only give my point of view, based on what my wife and I enjoyed. People turn their noses up at the RIU, again their choice, I like the location they are in, easy walking distance to the malls, lively if you want, quiet if you want. Some people complain about the aircrafts overhead throughout the day, they never bothered me. I would be happy to always recommend these, but I like to stay in different parts of Jamaica and experience different hotels, our favourite to date, Couples Tower Isles. We shall be returning there for Christmas next week. Everyone fortunate enough to be able to spend Christmas in Jamaica should enjoy themselves and choose their best hotel. Keep the videos going and have a fantastic Christmas and 2025.
@robertcampbell8399 I know that Riu isn’t always seen as a top notch/high end resort but with what they have on face value I can’t complain too much though some things can be improved. The hotel could use a little more care along the walk ways inside the suites and they didn’t have an elevator in my section (which was a surprise). If you want a more laid back atmosphere I wouldn’t recommend this Riu location it was more of a partying atmosphere. The planes do fly by from time to time but sometimes I didn’t really focus on them. Thank you so much for watching and enjoy your stay in Jamaica.
