    Great Family Holiday

    Been twice before so thought it would be great to bring the family, we can use the facilities in the other 2 hotels so there would be plenty for us all to do. Good points: The Palace is by far the best. Bedrooms spacious and clean, housekeeping do a great job. Entertainment Team were FANTASTIC and kept all entertained, they definitely work hard (Astro, Genius, String Bean, Dinero and DJ Unstoppable). Lobby Bar was great for a pre dinner drink and Archer was on hand making cocktails for us. Pool area clean and tidy and the bar staff out and about getting and delivering drinks was fab. The Not So Good - we were a late arrival (2345hrs) and the night receptionist was not that helpful, meaning we had to return the following morning! The APP and Restaurant bookings, very hard to get a table and the speciality restaurants not open every night. As we were in the Palace we could use the other 2 hotel's restaurants BUT couldn't book them on the app and if you just turned up they said they were full so ended up in the buffet, again! Out of a 14 night stay, we were only able to dine in the speciality restaurants once! Only some of the Restaurant staff were friendly and cheerful, the majority were not and gave the impression you were putting them out. All said we had a great time. Perhaps won't be going back to Jamaica but would consider a RIU hotel again.

    Injuries sustained due to maintenance neglect

    I understand that things happen, but this was out of control with the amount of times we had to contact front desk for assistance. We had 2 rooms and were moved to 2 additional rooms and all 4 rooms had issues. A/C leaked onto the floor to create a massive pool of water which my son slipped and injured himself. We continuously asked for the manager and no management came to see how he was doing.

    Montego bay April

    The food was horrible. I went off the property to get a decent meal. This is unacceptable and made it more expensive
