The food at the buffet was outstanding. The band that played was great but did not perform as long as I would have liked. They should return after the stage performers (dancers ) and do a longer set.

Airport transfer didn’t work out. Although I went to the counter and met with the onsite rep, our ride did not show causing us to scramble to get 120 in cash to pay for a taxi.

The property is well maintained, very clean, organized, people is friendly and attentive and the BEST PART is definitely the BEACH, the beach is amazing, the clear crystal blue color was definitely a deal breaker for my husband and I.. we can’t wait to return.

The pros: super clean rooms, even though we had a AC leak which isn’t uncommon they fixed it immediately, cleaned our room twice a day wonderfully. Buffet food was better than the restaurants, loads of options and all had flavor! Chicken hut on the beach was delicious! Entertainment staff were great! Really child friendly. Clean beautiful property. The cons: service is slow as expected in Jamaica, except for this one women at the pool Teodeen, who was absolutely magical! The cafe shop staff were just not it, they seemed annoyed everytime anyone went in there and honestly at times rude. Not many options of restaurants, and you can only book two days out and if your a big party like us (4 rooms) we had to literally download the app and like book at the same time to reserve the 6:30pm slot as the other a lot was 8:15pm and if you were too slow you would lose the reservation as they booked quickly, which was annoying so we only went to two restaurants and that was it. Steak house was an extension of the buffet and the Japanese hibachi place was super basic not impressed at all. Food at the restaurant wasn’t good but the buffet was great! Also there are some bugs that literally eat you alive there, we thought mosquitoes but heard it may be sand fleas, either way half our group was bitten so bad they scratched to blood! Bring bug spray!!! Overall good stay!

The staff here was very friendly and accommodating of young kids. The beach was perfect for little kids as well, with calm, warm and shallow waters. The food was decent, and it was relatively easy to get reservations at the several restaurants onsite. The pool was great and there seemed to be a lot of entertainment options for the adults too. I read a lot of reviews about the transfer services from the airport - when you make the booking, the hotel will send you a form to fill out with your arrival information. You won't get any confirmation but Destination Services will have your arrival info. it was an easy process. we would definitely go back to this hotel.

If you can’t find a ton of yummy food here everyday nothing anywhere would please you. Food was delicious, varied, and literally hundred options. 3. Staff - polite whether you tipped or not.

To begin our checkin process was less than ideal, I expected to wait upon our arrival considering check in was noted to be 3pm, so no surprise me & my daughters arrived at 12 expecting to wait but also expecting a warm welcome, maybe some insights on what we could do or how we could possibly find space to change out of our cold weather clothing, instead we were not greeted and instead figured this out on our own. We grabbed lunch on property as instructed and were met with resistance as we didn’t have a wrist band. I circled back to reception to get our bands, most of the staff at this time were unfriendly throughout the dining experience as they were at the front desk. At 3:15pm I asked approx how much longer, I was traveling with a 6yr old and we’d been awake at this point since 3am and I noted this to the receptionist, adding that my little one was pretty hot and sweaty not to mention tired. About 40 mins later the from the front called us over and said “we don’t want you to wait longer, but the linens haven’t fully been changed, here’s your key some1 will be over shortly”. We were told our room was down the ramp. I’m a 4’11 120lb woman traveling with 2 young girls, I wasn’t offered any help with our luggage or direction to our room. Just pointed to a ramp. I circled the property lost in the heat carrying my bags for another 30 mins not wanting to head back upstairs before a kind worker pointed us to the 3 story walk up to our room. Leaving was equally bad w/ no help

This is the best portion of beach on Bloody Bay. Plenty of lounge chairs any time of day. The personnel are friendly and helpful. Entertainment is overall good. The cocktail bars are plentiful with rail liquor. Only one outlet on one side of the bed with the only USB port on the other side of the bed so if you need something different, let them know. They will always try to accomodate. This is our 3rd visit to Negril and our 5th to Jamaica. We will always return to Riu Tropical Bay!

RIU Palace Tropical Bay - All Inclusive is a beautiful resort with clean and clear swimming area and good clean beach. There are good beach beds, but they do not look clean, because they are made from some beige color material, which is hard to clean. Partially, they are covered with birds’ drops. Rooms are spacious and clean, room service is good. Comparing to our previous visits, bars improved substantially. They have good drinks and a lot of choices. Service is also good. Reception employees are helpful. Breakfast is good, but lunch and dinner not that good. Meat is not always well prepared. Almost no sea food. Not enough fresh fruits and, especially, fresh vegetables. A lot of very spicy food which not everybody likes or can eat.

The beach was beautiful and the staff was great. The room had a bit of a mildew smell and the pools closed really early at 6pm. I would have liked to have had more Jamaican dishes available at the buffet/restaurants. I would say it’s more like a 3 star resort.

My stay at RIU Palace Tropical Bay was a mixed bag. The food was absolutely fantastic, with plenty of variety and excellent flavors. Unfortunately, the overall experience was dampened by the unfriendly staff, particularly the front desk manager, Andrew Mulai. I encountered several instances of unprofessionalism. Additionally, the cleanliness, especially in public restrooms, left much to be desired.

From start to finish my family thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the holiday and a birthday with RIU Tropical Bay. The staff made our stay! Shout outs to Beverley at the front desk; Lea, Chavel, Tricia, Mike, and Orane at the bars; Karen (the manager at Kystal); Captian Crazy at the buffet; house keeping staff; and beach cleaning staff. Regarding the beach: BIG SHOUT to your fantastic work on keeping the beach pristine and clear of pesky seaweed. Other resorts, to your right and left, were certainly struggling to keep ther waters and shores as esthetically pleasing as yours. What a special experience you provided for us. If you are looking for crystal green waters, soft sand, rustling palms, and lapping waves in a fun, and exceptionally clean place...you will find it all here at Riu Tropical Bay.

Had a great stay with my family. Beautiful resort, kept clean and well maintained. Staff are friendly and provide good service. Concierge took too long to bring bags to the room on arrival. We waited and hour before my husband when to the lobby to bring our bags to the room. We wanted to hit the beach right away! One other issue was the location of the bathrooms. You had to walk so far from the beach to the lobby area to use the toilet. Rooms were kept clean but also found that a lot of sand was left on the floor which made it uncomfortable to walk around the room in bare feet after a shower. Entertainment was fantastic. Didn’t use the pool at all.... the beach is the best part! Drinks were so good and food was great!
