Jamaica

We love this resort. Staff were exceptional and we loved the food. The resort is small and easy to get anywhere you want quickly. The check-in experience was simple and quick and checkout was the same. We definitely will be returning to this resort. We love the size of this resort the best. Absolutely one of the best beaches I've ever seen. The only thing I wish was that there were more umbrellas available at the pool. I have lupus and require more coverage from the sun. The pool bar did have excellent shade so I hung out there a lot. Thank you Couples Negril

Would highly recommend the resort everything was great.Staff very helpful and food was really good.

My daughter and I were looking for a week away for some pampering, quiet, and good food to rejuvenate. We found all of that and more at this fantastic resort.

We travelled with a group of 3 couples (6 people total) for the purpose of celebrating 2 big milestone birthdays. The resort was a really nice mid-size one with only 3 floors. The rooms were nice and clean with modern amenities, and the resort layout was really great with an amazing open pool to beach layout. Food was fantastic and there were lots of options for my friend who is dairy and gluten intolerant (the Italian restaurant had gluten free pasta, you just had to ask). Front desk staff were friendly and helplful. The maids were also very nice, cleaned our room very well and left cute things on the bed made out of towels and a though of the day. The entertainment staff were incredible!! There was always lots of fun things to do. Entertainment staff ran games and competitions every day and all throughout the day. One day was a pool foam party, another day they had mens and then women's competitions, several days had live bands playing and singing with the entertainment staff dancing and involving anyone who looked interested. Night entertainment was also amazing with different shows like Michael Jackson, couples competition, Jamaica night, steel pan band, and the beach party with DJ & bar. The Montego Bay Riu has alternating White and Neon parties every Friday night but we never made it. Staying at the Riu Reggae you can go to the Riu Montego Bay to eat lunch only, and also to enjoy their pools, bars and water slides as part of your access but you cannot go onto the Riu Palace proprty which I was fine with. We honestly had such a good time at our resort that we only left for excursions, shopping and to take a walk along the beach. I highly recommend the reaort property; our whole group had a great time.

We had an amazing time at this resort. The food was great (buffets and a la carte restaurant). The only restaurant that was not meeting my expectations was the steakhouse. However i understand as this not their expertise. The room has tree star as our bed was making a lot of noise, just by sitting on it for example. We have informed the staff, but nothing was change... Beaches were wonderful, resort overall was great. A suggestion for the resort would be an ice cream bar near the main pool would be amazing !!!

From start to finish we felt looked after. An elegant room, with a beautiful ocean view. Fresh food always available, and a well stocked fridge! Incredible sandy beaches and even some rocky outcrops of coast where we could view the fish and crabs. Marche Buffet was outstanding in quality and choices. DC beach bar bartender Adrien went above and beyond at every request. The butler service was fantastic, most of the staff we encountered always had smiles and were happy to help. You need more bowls in the buffet, I had to chase them down every morning. Bathroom in room is wide open to entry way, a curtain on that side would be a good idea. The room we had was close to the entertainment which went on until midnight or later, so if you are not a night owl, bring ear plugs. We were in building 5, on the bandshell side. If in building 5 ask for the beach side as two couples in our party we're over there and said they couldn't hear the entertainment. Or get a room in buildings 1, 2, 3 or 4 by the Royalton beach.

Overall, first impressions of the the hotel was that it was well furnished and the atmosphere was great. It took 7 hours for our room to be ready (arrived at 11am, got in the wrong room at 6pm) and we still had to get the room corrected. The food tasted very good and all the female staff were very nice and cordial. The male staff were overly flirtatious - but other than that they did their job. Entertainment was fun and engaging but there's a clear discrepancy between the two decameron properties, one is clearly geared towards a younger audience and the other an older. The beach was always clean aside for rude guests expecting people to clean up after them. The pool was foggy but not overtly nasty. The room service was good but very slow and wifi was incredibly patchy. If it wasn't for the female staff my stay would not have been that great.

Overall the experience was good after moving from the original room location the was great. It seems they try to stick you were ever they can. Don't be shy to ask for a new room. Restaurants were good and buffet was also good where the wheels came off was the beach dinner for my wife's 60th birthday for,6 people,$475 usd we were expecting a high end experience. This was not the case all the proteins were over cooked and dry, very poor lighting and just ok service. I don't like to complain but we would have been better served by going to the buffet and taking it to the beach. DO NOT spend your money on the beach dinner.

Everything about the resort is designed in an impressive manner, from the sheer physical size of the grounds to the beautifully appointed rooms. They even upgraded our rooms because one of our group was celebrating her birthday. Would definitely go back !

LOVED IT ALL! NEXT TIME WALKY TALKIES WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO BRING. ALL THE STAFF WERE FABULOUS!
