Let me start by saying, I will keep this short and truthful. If you are reading a lengthy review of this hotel and it is telling you how wonderful it is...It's true and now I know, I should have believed it. This place is beautiful, clean and friendly. That is why I won't bore you with more details. If they... more

I visited Jamaica during Memorial Day weekend '08. It was an all girls weekend for us. The rooms were clean and nicely decorated. Everyday, we had a different type of flower on our freshly made beds. Best of all was the food. There were at least 6 restaurants to choose from and surprisingly, the food was great considering the hotel... more

First of all, excuse me if I rant on, I can talk. Stayed in the Clubhotel Riu Ocho rios for 2 weeks from 3rd June and had a great time. Unless you are extremely picky, you can't really fault this hotel. It really puts Sandals next door to shame, making it look shabby and old. Rius are top notch for... more

My husband and I visited the RIU Ocho Rios for a one year anniversary gift. It was absolutely wonderful!! We loved the beach, the pool, and the room. The entire resort is so well maintained and it shows. The only thing you need to remember is that men need to bring pants. If you do not have pants, you can... more

This was our second trip to the Riu Ocho Rios and will likely be our last. We stayed at the same resort last year for a wedding July 2007 and had a great time so we decided to go back, just myself and my husband for our 7th anniversary. We were really disappointed with our stay this time around, June... more

My friend and I stayed at the Ocho Riu the first week of June for 6 days and 5 nights AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!

CUstoms was a breeze and I was allowed to stay til August compared to my friend who was given... more

My husband and I just came back from a 3 night stay and we 100% agreed this was not a good choice for us. We booked through the net and had no problems on check-in. When we got to the room it was very nice, excellent view of the property and beach, however it was obvious the past guests where... more

Hello All - For months prior to leaving for the Riu I was a Trip Advisor junkie. Everyday I was checking the latest reviews and forum topics to prepare. I just returned from the Riu this Sunday (6/22) after spending 6 nights and 7 days in Jamaica. I hope my review helps those that are preparing to visit the Riu... more

We stayed at the Riu, in Ocho Rios 04/03/08-04/09/08. We had a fabulous time. I too was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews. But we couldn’t have had a better time. My favorite part of the whole trip was the snorkeling. DO NOT pay someone to take you snorkeling. There is a reef right at the hotel... more
