    Very relaxing

    The resort is beautiful. The Jamaican people that work on the resort are some of the kindest and most humble people I have ever met in my entire life. They treat everyone with respect and go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and make sure your stay is wonderful. The food is ok, the drinks amazing. To anyone going to Riu or any of the other resorts on the Island tip the employees. They make the resorts run smoothly and the resorts don’t pay them well at all. Riu do better and give your employees a living wage.

    Good times at RIU

    stayed for 3 nights four days for my niece's Birthday. The atmosphere was great staff was polite, very helpful and professional. me and my daughter had a wonderful time, loved the silent/ headset party and the foam party. Food was very good. Initially disappointed that there was only one bed for me and my daughter. they offered a room change the following day but I would have to check out and recheck in and wait for the room to be ready. I thought that would mess with me enjoyment so I just stayed in the room with extra sheets and blankets and made me a little bed. So it's important that you let them know at booking that you need two beds. Looking forward to my next stay. Well worth the money.

    Excellent

    Facility, food and night time entertainment were excellent. However security is needed on the beach during the evenings to reduce peddlers selling narcotics

    Bad experience turn good

    I went to riu ochi rios to celebrate my daughter birthday, however the customer we I received from the front desk agent was horrible, the agent name is jheanille. She had no empathy to my situation and there was no emotional response, the agent attitude was disgusting. She even made me cry because of how horrible the encounter was with her, we had decided never to book another riu hotel. But GOD sent Breana I met her when I collect the room key and her friendly energy and vibrant spirit captivate me, her customer was top tier!!!! She have an amazing personality. She gave me hope of booking into another riu hotel.
