Hotel Riu Palace Jamaica - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"I loved the property grounds. It was beautiful and peaceful. The perfect place to unwind and connect with your inner Zen. Our room was beautiful. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The swim up bar was a nice option but make sure you use sunscreen! The restaurant options were nice and the buffet had plenty of options. There were some fun activities or games to participate in but it was mainly the perfect place to just breathe."

"This was our first time at this resort. The property has a wonderful feel, set in the Montego Bay area. The location is spacious and the views are both stunning and gorgeous!! The beach is small but the beach access is extremely easy. The amenities are wonderful, and the entertainment is lively and very well-planned. The restaurants offer significant variety and the food is wonderful. But here is the hidden gem - the staff! The staff - customer service staff, restaurant wait staff and housekeeping staff are top notch, professional and very attentive, without being overbearing. This resort is a can’t miss! A true gem of the Caribbean!!!"
