I travelled with my 10 year old...
10 / 10
Jun 2005, Ms D Dalseg

I travelled with my 10 year old daughter on a last minute trip from Canada. I have visited Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Antigua, Tortola, Puerto Rico, Cayman Islands and Jamaica prior to this trip. This hotel was lovely-the buffet everyday featured fresh salads, the fish/meat selections varied daily and were cooked as required. As for sand fleas, I found most people were bit by mosquitoes. Why do people expect to travel and the climate/insects etc be similar to home...I have always found in the islands mosquitoes bite when the sun is not at its peak...in other words, if its cloudy, early am, evening (5:00) and the night, put on repellent. Yes in the Caribbean the foliage, insects and animals vary from that of North America-that’s why we travel away, right?
Expect to see geckos, wood newts and big bugs. No insect likes the cold so a/c keeps them away naturally. As for service, these people worked their backsides off while we were there-people even complained to staff about the weather...as though the staff had some effect on that. At any rate, my daughter had the freedom (because it is safe) to move about without constant supervision and make friends. The entertainment was fun-kept adults and kids entertained. The buffets had a variety of food-I never ate anything twice-my daughter who is fussy loved it. I have travelled considerably showing horses, skiing, and a variety of medical conferences and in my opinion, I have experienced discomfort in Canada/US as often as when travelling. I don’t go to the Caribbean for fine wine and gourmet meals...I go for culture, sun, nightlife, and beautiful beaches. If I was looking to ski, I certainly wouldn’t visit the desert.
Jamaica me happy!

This was our second visit in two...

Feb 2005, Mr L Russell

This was our second visit in two years. Absolutely out of this world. First class staff offering first class service. Steve the manager runs a tight ship and is well liked by most if not all the employees. Dianne just one of the many bar staff is hilarious
Fantastic beach shallow warm water perfect for children learners or experienced swimmers. Good choice of meals and diners are well looked after. I could write a whole lot more but why not pay a visit and find out for yourself you wont find abetter deal anywhere else in the Caribbean

Riu Negril was a big disappointment....
2 / 10
Dec 2004, Select Estepho

Riu Negril was a big disappointment. We went for our holidays during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays and the service was terrible.
First of all the hotel was full and the staff did not know how to deal with the people. The food was cold and old. We found that everyday we were eating same thing over and over again. The pool was dirty. The staff never cleaned the pool. At times the pool was so dirty that we could smell urine in the pool.
The pool was so dirty that when we came back home one of our family member even got fungus on their body from the dirty water in the pool. The worst of all were the sand fleece. No one told us that the beach had sand fleece. We were bitten and our legs were covered in red hives.
I do not recommend this resort. We have been to many places and this one has been the most expensive and the worst that we have been too.

I had a really good time at club...
9 / 10
Aug 2004, Miss Desiree Blackett

I had a really good time at club hotel Riu. If you looking for a great hotel Club Riu is the one. The rooms were beautiful. They were nice and clean. I assume they are because it is fairly new hotel. It’s not a year old yet.
The beach was ok. I thought the water was a bit murky. They are men working on that so hopefully that would change soon. The pool was nice. Not to over crowded.
The drinks were good. Please try the blue ocean. It’s really good. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was ok. I preferred to eat the pizza. Try the lasagne it’s really good. The had a variety which was good.
The entertainment was pretty good except for the guy who is the head of entertainment. Everything is good until he starts to speak and ruin everything. Hey maybe someone else would like him :) The disco is nice. You should go the Jungle which is a club there in Negril. It’s really nice. Oh and they is a guy there name Paul. OMG he can sing he is good. He usually works at night at the disco but now I hear he is working during the day now. So if you go there and you hear someone singing at the bar. Guaranteed its Paul. He a sweetie and he love to sing for couples. He also sings at weddings too. Ask the staff for him.
