Jul 14, 2025A wonderful stay
Me & my son loved our stay at Riu Ocho Rios, lovely spacious room with a nice side sea view, bed and pillows a little on the hard side but that did not matter much. Plenty to eat and choice the buffet at meal times, restaurants were very good to. The entertainment during the day and at night was good, I would of loved to have seen more reggae themed nights, more reggae music etc, I also think the Jamaica station at the buffet should of been bigger it was always packed no matter what time of day. The hotel is large, it is very well maintained, everywhere you go you will see someone cleaning. Staff were polite and helpful, I would recommend staying here it is wonderful.

Jul 14, 2025Good Vacation
I enjoyed my stay but some of the my bar was not stocked up everyday. One of the housekeepers was a little rude. My check in was horrible. I had to wait 3 hours and then my kids room was ready 1 hour before mine.

Jul 12, 2025Riu Ocho Rios
The property is very nice. The staff on the other hand was either very nice or very rude. It appears that Riu does not train its staff very well. For the most part they were unattentive and rude. The male server at Pepes and a female in the sports bar took rudeness to the ultimate level. The bartender he didn't even hold up his head to ask me what drink l would like despite the bar not being very busy. Think his name was devante/Tevan or something close to that. Kaysha in sports bar is the queen of rudeness. Dwayne in the specialty Restaurant and the girl at the Front Desk made my stay worth it. The variety at the buffet was good. Entertainment a bit lacking. Overall, average stay. Would l go back. Yes.

Outdated rooms.
The rooms require modernisation, the look dated. The mahogany wood and old plantation style doors arw outdated. Other than that the rooms were decent. The safe didn't work and on arrival only 1 bed was made for 3 of us, which was quickly rectified on the second night. The restaurant was too busy with long ques for food and many items running out. But food quality was excellent. The lunch was advertised to open fro. 12-17:00, but closed at 1500.
