Hotel overview

The Hotel Riu Palace Tropical Bay (All Inclusive 24h), is located at the famous Bloody Bay beach in Negril, Jamaica, one of the best resorts in the area par excellence. Its Victorian style inspires harmony and calmness surrounded by a 47,000 m2 garden.

There‘s no better way to relax than in a Riu Palace with all the options for relaxation it has to offer. The complex includes two fresh water swimming pools, a solarium terrace, gym, Jacuzzi, sauna, the “Renova Spa” wellness centre and a vast beach where you can sunbathe and enjoy a drink.

The 24h All Inclusive system gives you the opportunity to sample the best Jamaican cuisine prepared by our chefs for the buffet restaurant or the delicious menus in the themed restaurants: a wide variety to satisfy every palate.

We recommend you to try out the entertainment programme that the Riu Palace Tropical Bay has organised for all ages. For adults and children alike, there are endless activities to do as a family, couple or with friends. The complex includes two tennis courts, table tennis, a gym, volleyball, windsurfing, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking, bodyboarding, diving and other water activities. For the children, there is a playground near the beach and an entertainment programme where they can enjoy a range of activities with our entertainers. Jamaica harbours many secrets and wonderful places. You mustn’t miss excursions to the thermal springs of Rhodes, Hall Plantation, the crowded Seven Mile Beach, The Great Morass where you can see endemic birds and American crocodiles, or Roaring River, a cave where you can swim and see harmless bats. If you like to play golf, the Negril Hills course is perfect for enjoying a game. In Negril you can also go cycling through the hills which offer splendid photo opportunities. .

Fall in love with Negril and have your best holiday at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay.

    Great resort, friendly staff, room 2311 noisy 🤷‍♀️

    The hotel is clean and well kept, beautiful! Staff is super friendly! The beach in front of this resort is the best I’ve seen in Jamaica. Water is clear, beach is soft, drink service at the beach with bleach loungers. They have 4 pools. Children are not allowed in all pool (which is a + for us). We stayed in room 2311 considered “ocean front” but it was more ocean view (kinda). It had a great view of the courtyard and tree’s and just beyond that was the beach. The room was clean with all the usual amenities. My only gripe is… This room is next to the main road out front of the resort. Cars, truck and the noisy motorcycles could be heard all day and night. We booked the catamaran excursion one day through the resort (scuba caribe) - so FUN!! We had a wonderful trip! We will definitely come back to this resort - but not the same room ;)
