Riu Playa Blanca: Very clean resort!

We found the hotel to be very clean and the staff was very friendly. On a down side they did not fill the bar fridge often enough leaving us short on water and pop. Overall a very nice experience. Very nice well taken care of grounds.

Riu Palace Tropical Bay: Great location beautiful beach

Most of the staff was extraordinary, tu te friends well mainyained except should not spray that bug spray during the day do at night when people are sleeping. Garbage and Bund should be next to each other for dropping off dishes after eating. Bathroom a are a little far from the beach Should have huts or umbrella to get shade on beach Toilet bowl really badly placed behind the bathroom door There should be a better means of transoortation from airport to hotel small airplane helicopter  [... read more] Love jamaica keep up the great work

Riu Palace Aquarelle: Riu Palace Aquarelle Jamaica

The hotel is located approximately 35 minutes from the Montego Bay Airport. The property is relatively new, the rooms are attractive, and most offer at least a partial sea view, if not a full one. However, the check‑in experience was disappointing, as the staff were not particularly welcoming. Food: The buffet provides an excellent variety of options for all three meals, and we were consistently satisfied. A noteworthy detail: Thursday is lobster night, and the lobsters are large and delic [... read more]ious — though this is not advertised to guests. Booking the specialty restaurants is challenging. Reservations open online at midnight, and availability is limited; booking on a Monday night typically secures a table for Wednesday, but nothing is available for the following day. Waiting until the morning or during the day to book means there will be no openings left. The Steakhouse was a significant disappointment, while the other restaurants were excellent — Krystal was so good we went twice. At the Steakhouse, the rib‑eye steak was no more than a quarter‑inch thick, making it impossible to cook to medium‑rare; after returning it, the replacement was also well‑done. Pepe’s Food was underwhelming, we went once and we chose not to return. The Italian restaurant serves a reduced breakfast buffet from 8h00 to 10h00 - a much quieter and smaller vibe - nice change up from the big buffet which is open from 7h00 to 10h00. Do try the wings at the Sports Bar! We got our morning coffees there everyday. The iced coffee at Capucino in the main Lobby is fantastic and you can also get milkshakes and a variety of cakes, cookies and croissants - all excellent. Pools and Beach: Both the pools and the beach are beautiful, though guests should be prepared to rise early to secure a spot. Bars: The bar-tending team is excellent and consistently enforces the adults‑only policy in the designated areas. Derwayne and Rodinel were particularly outstanding — they remembered our preferred drinks and ensured we were well looked after throughout our stay. They have premium brand alcohols and use shelf alcohol for mixed drinks. There are multiple drink options and you can ask them to make you anything you want. Cleanliness: The property, including the rooms and common areas, is generally very clean. Our room experience varied depending on the staff member assigned that day. One attendant was exceptional, while the other was less attentive and did not consistently replenish towels or facecloths for two guests. Gift Shop and Beach Vendors: There are two gift shops on site, though the prices are quite high relative to the quality of the merchandise. There is sun lotion available at the gift shop and it's buy one get one free so it comes out to $15 USD per bottle. A short walk down the beach, past the Royalton Hotel, local vendors have tents offering a wide variety of items at more reasonable prices — some of the carvings are truly impressive. A few vendors also walk along the beachfront with smaller items for sale. We opted to take a taxi from the hotel entrance to a small mall five minutes away, which had an excellent selection of goods at very competitive prices. We highly recommend asking for Tracy Hudson or Sherlet Black — both are warm, trustworthy, and made us feel completely safe and well cared for. As a note, tours booked through the operators inside the resort are significantly more expensive than those arranged through the taxi services just outside the main entrance. We did a couple of tours with Tracy and Sherlet and they went above an beyond to provide excellent service, stayed with us and made sure everything ran smoothly at the venues. The Luminous Lagoon tour lady tried to double charge us and Sherlet was not having it, she called over the owner and everything was settle within a minute. Final Thoughts: A vacation is ultimately what you make of it. Jamaica is wonderfully relaxed, and even on cloudy or rainy days, the weather was enjoyable. The vast majority of people we encountered — truly 99% — were friendly, welcoming, and full of joy, so it’s best not to dwell on the rare exceptions. I would go back to Jamaica in a heartbeat - but I would try another adults only RIU Palace next time around - this one is not a "true" palace in terms of amenities, room service (limited offering) and specialty dining experiences due to the horrific "midnight" booking system.

Riu Palace Mexico: brilliant hotel

could do with elevators at the pool side area up to the rooms as there are a lot of older people who struggle up the stairs and more toilets especially near beach its a long walk to the dining room washroom

Riu Flamingos: Had a wonderful time

Had a wonderful stay at the Riu Jalisco. Would go back any time. Staff was great, the beach was clean, the room was always cleaned, overall service was very good. Preferred the Japanese restaurant of all.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Great resort

The food was excellent and the beach was fantastic! You could walk for miles both sides of the resort. We did ask for a quiet room and then last minute for a partial ocean view. We were apparently upgraded to that but wouldn't call it an upgrade. We couldn't get to the full deck on the first floor and the view was more of a construction site and couldn't see much of the ocean. We still would return to the resort though as it was very clean, friendly staff and didn't spend much time in the room [... read more].

Riu Latino: Wonderful resort

The food was fantastic, great friendly service. The staff always remembered us. The hotel was beautiful. Great view, room always cleaned before lunch. Comfortable, quiet. The grounds were beautiful, the staff were always tending to it. The entertainment group was fantastic. Aquafit was my favourite! Highly recommend this resort!!

Riu Republica: I will not return

I had a very disappointing experience at the hotel’s spa, where I felt I was treated in an unprofessional and discourteous manner by the receptionist. I reported this incident to the general manager; however, I did not receive any acknowledgment or apology in response, which was particularly disappointing. On a positive note, the food was generally of good quality and offered a wide variety. That said, a few of the restaurants appeared to be mismanaged, with long and, in my view, unnecessary  [... read more]queues. Additionally, I found it concerning that there were no lifeguards present on the beach, especially given the strong waves.

Riu Palace Pacifico: Beautiful Vacation Spot

My daughter and I certainly had a wonderful time. The grounds were lovely The bedroom was comfortable and spacious. The food at the daily buffet was all anyone could ask for. A great array of food. We also tried the steak and lobster at the steak restaurant. The Mexican restaurant was very good. We loved the Crystal restaurant as well.

Riu Ocho Rios: Had a fabulous time!

The hotel was incredibly clean, modern and there were tons of activities through the day and at night. Amazing food and the beach was gorgeous. Can’t say enough good things about this place. ……………………………………………………………….

Riu Latino: Amazing resort

Hotel was very clean, location was perfect not too far from airport. Staff were very friendly and Helpful. They were always on the go. Never seen any of them just standing around. Atmosphere and food was truly amazing. Will definitely be going back this resort and would recommend

Riu Santa Fe: Amazing Experience at Riu Santa Fe

My brother and I had an amazing experience at Riu Santa Fe. From the Airport to the resort and back, everything was very well organized for us. The resort was very clean, friendly staff, great food, and very fun with lots to do. It was a great balance of fun for young college adults, as well as for families that enjoy good vibes. I would recommend this all inclusive to anyone who want a fun experience in Mexico.

Riu Palace Costa Mujeres: Really nice Resort!!!

Rooms were very clean and loved the bathtub when you need to relax, especially for moms or kids (to calm them down). We used the dining rooms quite a lot during our 10 days, but also the common kitchen area, which was without complaints. We used the pool a lot during our stay as the beach was full of sargassum. In the morning, it was fine as they cleaned the beach, but then it's back up again. We went in anyway, soaking our feet and taking pictures. But what we liked the most was definitely the  [... read more]sunrises every morning except for rain.

At least, there was entertainement throughout the day. My family and I enjoyed our time there.

Riu Palace Peninsula: Great stay

Our family of six spent a week here over March break. Things we loved: staff, that it was easy going (not fussy about the small things), enough or almost enough chairs, the food was great… probably our family’s fave buffet ever, and we go to a lot of resorts, drinks, it was clean,..sand & water are nice. Towels are a cute colour. The path out front is great! I like that the gym is open 24/7 (even though I didn’t like the gym). Rooms were always cleaned nicely. Things that were fine: rooms, [... read more] elevators. Things that could be better. Well- the beach- but that can’t be helped. I love a long beach that’s not rocky. You can’t really get in a long walk here. The gym. Honestly- it’s not great. It’s too small for the size of the resort, and therefore nearly always too busy in the mornings. The layout stinks. There’s not much space to lay out mats & exercise. It would be nice if there was a swim up bar that all ages were welcome to. As well as a hot tub on site. All in all we had a great time. Would I go back? No- but only because I need a good walkable beach & gym.

Riu Flamingos: Amazing vacation

The Reno’s are great lots of room everywhere you can always find a spot to hang out around the pools or the beach shade is an issue on the beach till the trees palm out but for $20 u can get an umbrella for the day The food is fantastic at the buffet as well as the steak house and the Italian service was great everywhere and the app is great if you need coffee beer or soda for your room they are on it right away And thank you tripcentral for the calls before and after our vacation to Mak [... read more]e sure everything went well very much appreciated

Riu Republica: Horrible experience

My stay at Riu Republica Punta Cana was extremely disappointing and far below expectations. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that the property is not being properly maintained. The grounds felt neglected, with visible wear and a lack of cleanliness in several areas. The room itself was in poor condition—outdated, not properly cleaned, and in need of significant upkeep. Basic standards of comfort and hygiene were not met. I am convinced there were bed bugs. The public areas were eq [... read more]ually concerning. Many spaces were overcrowded, unkempt, and lacked the level of care you would expect from a resort of this category. It made it difficult to relax or enjoy the amenities. Overall, the experience did not reflect the quality that is advertised. I would not recommend this resort to others and would strongly suggest looking into alternative options when visiting Punta Cana.

Riu Palace Macao: GOOD RESORT BUT BOOKED WRONG 2 WEES.....

HOTEL FULL OF 20 OR LESS YEAR OLDS WHO RUINED THINGS FOR MANY REPEAT CUSTOMERS WHO WERE LOOKING FOR REST AND RELAXATION. BEACH BAR MILES SEEMED FROM THE LOUNGES ON THE BEACH. OUR ROOM WAS OVERLOOKING THE LOADING DOCK OF THE HOTEL NEXT DOOR. TRACTOR TRAILERS IN AND OUT AT ALL HOURS OF DAY AND NIGHT SO OUR BALCONY WAS NO REFUGE FROM THE DRUNK KIDS !!!!

Riu Palace Antillas: Awesome Resort

Well kept hotel Buffet and restaurants served awesome food Nightly entertainment was awesome, although did not care for the Karaoke night. Nor did the other guests given attendance was minimal. Easy access to downtown Walking distance to shops to the west.
