    Everything was perfect

    We had the pleasure of staying at the Riu Palace Negril from April 5 to 12, 2025, and we cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Every aspect of our stay exceeded expectations — from the exceptional beachfront location and the pristine, safe, and expansive beach, to the outstanding culinary offerings and warm, attentive staff. Our room was spacious, well-appointed, and equipped with every amenity one could need. The overall experience was truly flawless.

    Awesome vacation

    Our family had a wonderful time. The food was great, clean and beautiful beach area. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only suggestion would be to improve the app for making dinner reservations. It was complicated to make a reservation for our group of seven.

    Riu Tropical Negril

    I was pleasantly surprised by the class of this resort, given I had never been to any of the Riu resorts. The drive to the resort is a bit of a pain, but once you get there you'll be very happy you have. The food is top quality whether its the Streak House or any of the a la carte restaurantsThe buffets have a large selection and the quality makes you feel at home. The beach is muck better than the 7 Mile beach with clear water clean beach and swimmable. We love to walk and we did more than 25 minutes in each direction Chairs are not hard to find. The service was good whether it be at the front desk or our rooms. The rooms are adequate but not luxurious. There are 3 pools although not big with plenty of umbrellas and covered canapés. My only disappointment was the entertainment . I would have enjoyed having a sports bar on those rainy days. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. Its my understanding its up for renovation which will definitely give it a more refreshing look. Thanks Marc Phillips

    I love the Riu palaces

    Everything was amazing, hotel could use a renovation but isn’t terrible. I would definitely stay here again, my room was the best I’ve ever had. Right in the beach!

    Get away

    Great staff, good food, clean. The only draw back was that there are no elevators and I have knee issues so it was hard for me to go up and down the stairs. Other than that, no complaints.
