North Coast Cheap Vacations

My stay at The Cardiff Hotel & Spa in Runaway Bay is a true gem. The staff was warm and attentive, making me feel welcome. Rooms are spacious, clean, and comfortable, with reliable amenities. The property was beautiful with some amazing views. We did not go into the pool, but I visited the beach and had a wonderful time in the water. We had breakfast at the well‑kept dining area, and it was so, so delicious; the food was 10/10. Overall, it’s a peaceful retreat with excellent service and great value. Highly recommended. 10/10 Excellent stay! They will surely see me again

The room was clean but very minimal there was no blankets only two pillows not luxury at all bare minimum as well as the amenities. Probably the worst part was pool closes at 6:00 not what I'm used to for all inclusive no room service no music. The staff was friendly and we enjoyed the scuba trip thank to Black Barie. .

The rooms are set to remind you of old time Jamaica, very classic and a lot of nostalgia. The piano bar has a collection of pictures of celebrities that have stayed there. The food at the buffet was so good we never made it to any of the special restaurants. The staff are great a d its a very relaxed vibe. Will definitely return.

Customer service was really good

The Riu tropical is a beautiful property with tons of amenities for everyone of all ages. The rooms were clean and well stocked each day with water etc. There are several places to eat on the property (just mk sure you mk your reswevations ahead if time cause they book fast). There are a few bars, coffee shop etc and a jerk hut on the beach. The entertainment each day was great. There are 3 pools, 1 with a swim up bar. The beach had pleny of chairs. The staff was exceptional and very welcoming and helpful. You book excursions right at the hotel. The only issue we had was that a fire alarm went off twice with an announcement to stay in place while being investigated. I work in commercial property management so I understand the stay in place but there was never a follow-up to give an all clear or even an explanation. There should always be an all clear or next step announcement. Other than that the property was perfect and we will return.
