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.

    35th Birthday vacation

    I wish the pool stayed open a bit later. Food and staff was excellent! I did like the idea of having a mini bar in the room, however, the open bottles should be replaced once they are open to ensure the next guest can enjoy without fear of something being put in it. I did not like the fact you had to put the key card in the holder in order to use the lights in the room.

    RUI Palace Tropical Bay

    This was our second visit to this hotel, and we were equally impressed this time round. Rooms; Food Staff all first class. The only issue I have was the inability to book some of the restaurants as they were fully occupied before we arrived.

    Paradise

    Had another amazing time at this hotel, despite the Tropical storm while we were there which left lots of sea weed on the beach which hotel was slow to clear. Staff are all amazing and will do anything to make your stay amazing. Good in evenings in buffet is repetitive but good, we exhausted the speciality restaurants and went through all the menus in the 2 weeks we were there, steak we found always inedible (tough) in all restaurants but lots of other choices we had amazing rooms in block 6. We will be back again next year
