Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Pros: Staff were generally nice, coffee was good.
Cons: food was shockingly bad. It’s on a bay, not a beach, seaweed that smells constantly washes to the bay shore. If you’re expecting a real beach you will be very disappointed. Rooms are mediocre with minimal extras for a 5-star property. The entertainment/activities are really limited. It was far from feeling at all luxurious and felt trashy. It’s a half mile walk from Riu Reggae to Riu Montego Bay where most of the entertainment is that is on the resort. The walk gets old pretty quickly. Riu even manages to mess up the water park as the sidewalk is too hot to step in by midday and the slides feel unpleasant. All water parks I have been to have properly colored sidewalks to prevent it getting that hot in your feet and the slides feel fun. Drinks are weak as can be.
Tips: order an extra shot with every drink. Eat lunch at Riu Montego Bay and not Reggae. Stay at Sandals or some other better resort.
