We had a wonderful time at Riu Tropical Bay Negril! The beach is the most beautiful beach that we have ever seen and we live in Southern California! Only negatives were the women’s restroom always smelled like sewer and there was some deferred maintenance around the property. Staff was nice, especially when tipped. Need to update some of the restaurants and menu items. Also, went to the other Riu property and found it to be much more up to date, but the beach at Tropical bay was far superior!

No major complaints. The room and property were beautiful. Housekeeping did a wonderful job cleaning. Only real complaint were the sockets were a bit loose so getting devices to charge were difficult... but that could have been just my room. The views were absolutely beautiful and if i needed to be in the area again, i would stay here. I have a very limited diet so i cant comment on all the food. What i did eat was delicious. Check in and check out were a breeze. Lovely property. Met a wonderful server while we were there... she made dinnertime a very nice experience. Thank you for treating my family so great as we were back in Jamaica for a funeral.

The staff and property are fine the thing that turned me was being nickel and dimed. We paid for an ocean view and were charged extra for our room when we got there regardless which I don't think is fair. Also AFTER I was told that $222 was the only additional up charge I was then again accosted by staff wanting ANOTHER $30! I was also charged one night at riu palace in Montego Bay because YOUR staff told us it was 3 HORS to tropical bay where we were supposed to stay and that was misleading as well. Finally we talked to someone who was knowledgeable and we got a cab to our actual resort and are supposed to have $3400 credited to our account. I still haven't seen that credit and I would like my $252 back. I also think it's ridiculous that I was charged $2.00 for ONE LOCAL phone call. If I'm not going to be compensated at all it's unlikely that I'll use or recommend Riu in the future. I'm definitely NOT ever using Expedia again that's for sure.

We had a wonderful stay. This was our first time at an all-inclusive resort and this location did not disappoint. We want to provide a very special thanks to the entertainment staff as they elevated our experience beyond our expectations. While I didn't get all their names, I do want to call out Lady T, Lady Phoenix, Zeus, our yoga instructor (Muscles?). We also want to thank the staff at Riu Land for connecting with our son and daughter, the wait staff at the buffet,
