Our Opinion of Riu Negril
An older hotel, but very lively. Good mix of people. Great food, great bars and great staff. Narrow beach with lots of shade where you can walk safely for a mile along the beach.

Riu Negril Information
A wonderfully large resort which spills over sunny, tropical beachfront acres, Riu Negril also has plenty of shady palms for beach lovers preferring measured spells of sun worship. True 'pool people' will get a kick out of the submerged stools edging pool perimeters. A small fish 'habitat' protected by RIU at the far end of the beach earns applause for environmental responsibility.
Location: Beachfront, located in Negril, next door to Riu Tropical Bay, 5 min drive from downtown Negril, 1 hr from the airport.
Riu Negril Hotel Reviews

Rating: 
"-Situated in Bloody Bay, the first hotel on the "strip"/. Beach was ok. Walk 5 mins towards the Riu Tropical Bay and the beach gets better. Take a 5 min cab ride to famous 7 mile Beach.
Staff was great, very friendly and were always busy maintaining resort cleanliness. Entertainment staff was awesome; they go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable, there was always something to do. Food at the Riu was superb, there was plenty to choose from. The buffet was better than the restaurants. Jerk hut on the beach was my favourite!
Rooms were spacious and kept cleaned by the maids, the maids even arranged our shoes for us! Refrigerator was fully restocked every 2 days.
Make sure you get a room in building 1 or 2, otherwise it is a far walk to the main amenities. No elevators/lifts at this resort, so if youre on a higher floor, there are lots of stairs to climb!
I would recommend this resort to anyone, it is very family friendly.
Overall, food was excellent, staff was excellent, beach is ok. Only downside is the set up of the resort, if youre not in building 1 or 2, prepare for a 10 minute walk to the main building.

"Hotel was great, staff was great, entertainment was amazing & food was excellent, everything is clean and very well managed; the only problem was it took 15 minutes to walk to our hotel room so it was very annoying if we forgot something and we had to walk back, the plus to that is it's a good workout!!"

"The hotel was great. The people were very friendly, helpful and nice. There were tons of activities to do, if you wanted to. But if you didn't, they let you be. There were always chairs at the beach and by the pool - so it wasn't hard to find somewhere to set up. We only went to one restaurant, the Steakhouse. It was okay, but the buffet was less of a hassle (not need to make a reservation) and the food was incredible. So much variety and all so very delicious. The people who work in food service were terrific - all very attentive and friendly They really make sure that you're happy. The rooms are lovely - refilled mini bar (amazing!) and plenty of towels. The only negative was some of the staff in the stores at the hotel, kind of rude and didn't seem to want to help. But that was really only a few people and I feel like I'm stretching to find at complaint. It was great. "
