Jun 30, 202560th Birthday
My stay at your resort was superb. I only had a few disappointments one. I did not know that the sleeping accommodations were so far away from the main area like the lobby and the eating places next time I would have to request accommodations a little closer for my husband as he walks with a cane. Second disappointment, my Gucci slide was inadvertently shoved under the bed by housekeeping. I knew it was under there and I was supposed to go under the bed to get it with my husband‘s cane, but I forgot and I was all the way back in the USA, I called the hotel six times. Nobody seem to know where the slide was. I was in room 2264 even Shanae the clerk that day said the room had not been occupied, but nobody could say where the Gucci slide was and that was a little bit of disappointment for me. As I was going to arrange for a driver to pick the shoe up and mail it to me the slide cost $500.

Jun 29, 2025Adventures in RIU land
The good - the hotel was clean and very earth friendly; staff were very friendly and helpful; the entertainment crew was very hard working and the fitness instructor Shandalee provided very needed help tips to maximize my workout; we mainly ate at the buffet and the Jamaican dishes was spot on; the variety of fresh fruits was welcomed; drinks were free flowing, beach chairs with shade were plentiful and the Thursday night white party was world class. the bad- we rsvp for 2 twin beds and ended up with a king and pull out sofa bed , which took up most of the extra space in the room. We were offered 2 twin beds the following day, bu .t we had already got settled in our initial room. The water was very salty and the thick seaweed was unsightly. we were only able to eat at one specialized restaurant as most nights were booked. Room took most of the first day to be ready and was grateful for the folks who recommended that you pack a separate change of clothes. They wifi is inconsistent and we missed the text from our pickup up company and needed to pay $120 US to get to the airport. They hotel needs a better means to connect with travelers as the driver was waiting by the front entrance and we were not informed. but as a side bar we did discover that there's an atm with in 5 min drive from the hotel, while most of the guests are told about the atm a boat ride away. Guests can walk on main road way to the Atm. Riu land mainly cares for young children and not much for 10-16 year olds.

RUI NEGRIL HOTEL JAMAICA
Oh my gosh RUI NEGRIL 100/100,nothing less than 5 star. From the front desk staff to the servers everyone give 10/10 service. RUI NEGRIL was fabulous. There was something for everyone. We spent our time on the beach enjoying cocktails. Our favourite cocktail was Jamaica smile. We spent 11 wonderful nights here and it was worth every bit of money spent. See you next year🙏🏽

Lovely 2 weeks rest and reset
Lovely stay, just what we have needed after a very hectic few months. Facilities good, food good, rooms comfortable. Only negatives we have cleanliness of hotel throughout the day rubbish/ glasses in hallways which then wouldn’t be cleaned up for a while. Air conditioning wasn’t very cool compared to other hotel rooms. Service in bookable restaurants felt a little rushed and soft drinks took a while to come to the table when requested Overall a lovely stay

Riu Negril exceeded my expectations!!
As a travel advisor who stays at various resorts in the Caribbean, the Riu Negril exceeded my expectations. I stayed at this property prior to the remodel and booked my group to stay here in May 2025. This review is my opinion and may differ from yours but it is my opinion. We were greeted warmly with a rum punch upon arrival by friendly staff. Check in was quick and fast (compared to my stay at Riu Reggae which took forever) and professional. The front desk staff are friendly and polite and very helpful which I love. Our rooms were ready but we were hungry so decided to go to the sports bar since the buffet wasn't open for dinner. The new 24 hr sports bar is wonderful and you order food from a menu which I love. The jerk wings were delicious and my favorite on the menu. The buffet has a lot of variety and there was plenty of food to choose from especially Jamaican food (although the seasoning and spice isn't as good as you would find from a local restaurant but better than other resorts I've stayed at). I had the swim-up ocean front room and my room was lovely. I have zero complaints about my room. Now the tile around the swim-up pool is very slippery - my suggestion for Riu is to provide a mat that goes from the door to the pool for guests to walk on because the tile when wet is very slippery. The lifeguards would come early in the morning and clean the pool and sometimes in the afternoon they would stop by and clean out leaves which was nice. The beach was lovely - I like the seagrass but I know others don't but it didn't bother me at all. The entertainment was good and performed great shows although they don't walk around the resort and sing like the entertainment at Riu Reggae and Riu Aquarelle do so I was surprised about that. My group loved the Aqua class and enjoyed Bryan and the lady who teaches the class (not sure of her name). Riu party was probably one of the best Riu parties I've been to and very enjoyable. My group enjoyed dancing at the Riu party and afterwards at the DJ. I wish this place had a night club and not just a DJ set up. I have to give a shout out to Dionne Arthurs (MICE Manager) who set up my groups semi-private dinner at the Italian Restaurant. She surprised 2 of my guests with birthday cakes and the staff sung Happy Birthday to them which was lovely. Dionne went above and beyond for my group and I truly appreciate her. Front desk staff were wonderful and always helpful. When I saw with the staff to address several issues that my guests were having with their room, they took care of things promptly. The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was the drinks. The alcohol was watered down and whenever I requested Wray and Nephew Rum (which they have), the bartender would try and trick me with the Kingston 62 Rum in my drink. Again that is my preference so please don't let my comment about the drinks sway you from staying here. It's a great hotel with good staff. If I ever stay here, I will bring my own bottle of Wray and Nephew and tell the bartenders to use MY bottle of Wray and Nephew to make MY drinks exactly as they should be. lol It's a great resort with good food. You will enjoy this resort if you stay here.
