Ocho Rios has some beautiful beaches, but this is not a safe place to go to visit. The bus ride from Montego Bay took over two hours and the bus only needed chickens and pigs to finish the tourture of this ride. We'd just gotten started on the ride to Ocho Rios from the Montego Airport, when the driver announced... more

Food, Beach, Service, Respect, Beach, Pools, Entertainment, Disco, Room, Personnel - Hey, Everything was better than I expected. Definitely going back there again and taking the kids this time!! more

Just returned from Riu Ocho Rios April 20 so this is a late review. We had a great time on our trip, loved Jamaica, its people, and the resort as well. We were told by a tour guide that the Riu Ocho Rios, to date, is the largest resort in Jamaica (but soon to be second largest when a new... more

We had an amazingly great vacation. We practically lived on these message boards before we went, and we're glad we did. We're also glad we did not listen to the whiny-bird complainers who nit-picked everything. I'll try to cover our many points that we observed/experienced. Airport--great on the way in; took forever on the way out. Allow yourself plenty of... more

The Riu is a nice resort, but it is too large. Everywhere you go on the resort feels a mile or two away. It has beautiful views from the balcony, the Junior Suites are incredible, and the pool and beach areas are wonderful. The food is just okay, nothing to write home about, although there are plenty of varieties to... more

overall not a bad place to stay. simply said...vacation is what you make it. we are folks that never leave the resort and prefer to pool, beach, sun, cocktails and just mingling with people at the resort. jr suite room was nice. great ocean views. stayed in building 1. really don't think any of the rooms are too far from... more

I did a lot of research before deciding to take my husband and two 19 year old girls to this resort. This Riu is a Club Hotel and full of action. If you want swimming, snorkeling at the beach, watersports, tennis, pool, entertainment, dancing, shopping, volleyball, parties, music, games, noise ...... this is the place. There are people of all... more

I'll begin by stating that I've been criticized in the past about my reviews. We travel four times a year to various Carribean locations so we are fairly seasoned travelers. We decided to take a last minute short holiday to Ocho Rios. Reading the reviews the only negative I could find that would be warranted was the ala carte reservation... more
