    Always something fun to do

    The Only thing that we really weren't completely satisfied with was the Alacart specialty dining. Sadly the main buffet had better tasting food to us. We tried the Steakhouse and the Italian and both dinners were mediocre... Other than that, we will Definitely Be Back.

    Good family holiday venue

    Staff make this hotel a place you want to return to; very welcoming and helpful. Service in the good areas was outstanding and entertainment as good as any west end show. We also used the kids club and Rui land kids shows, which our six year old loved. The rooms were immaculately ckean and had everything you needed; we had a junior suite, so plenty of relaxing areas and a hood balcony with view of the beach, sea and pool area. (Room 1353). The facilities in the room including the showers were good; they included a fridge full of cold drinks (Fanta, coke, water, larger) alongside optics of spirits, all included in the price. There is no kettle but a coffee percolator that you could boil hot water through, but had coffee bags that made a decent cup of coffee.

    RIU Ocho Rios Amazing 🤩

    My husband and I had a fantastic time . The instant view of the beach and sea on entry sets the scene for the start of your holiday in Paradise. The staff are absolutely amazing starting with the public Relations Manager Carlington Pryce he was very visible and ensured your holiday was at the best standard possible. He was very friendly , professional and approachable. Anisa Thomas house keeping was absolutely amazing too. Anisa worked so hard but always went out of her to talk to you making you feel so welcome. Anisa always happy, cheerful and very positive.Anisa showed some great communication skills making our stay fun. Our room was always clean we were so lucky to have a wonderful house keeper Anna- Lisa who ensure our room was clean and sprayed . Our room had a lovely view of the sea and the pool bringing our holiday alive from the get go. The food was good but very American as we are British . We would welcome some Hot British breakfast options. Some food would run out especially during the day. This was not a major issue unless you’re a fussy eater like me. The entertainment was phenomenal, outstanding and the best I have ever seen over the last three decades of holidays all over the world in 4/5 star hotel. The entertainment team absolutely smashed it. The beach is lovely and just amazing so calm and relaxing. Perfect!!🤩 The pool side is lovely too . The cons . Some Guest would leave their finish food plates in areas and outside their rooms . In hot weather it’s not desirable. Hotel staff are working hard to stop this and are continuously cleaning non- stop . Be great to have an adult only area . I think this would be a winner. Overall a brilliant hotel, excellent hotel staff, a fantastic holiday and I will be back next year without a doubt and many years after. Thank Hotel RIU Ocho Rios 👍🏻🤩
