Negril Vacations from $1,080

Slept well. Bed comfy and area around resort peaceful and quiet. Air conditioning in room is great but nothing in bathroom. Shower is so hard to figure out and it’s low flow. I kinda felt like I was at campsite where you can’t get a steady temperature and wash under a slow stream. The jacuzzi’s jets are broken. It just swirls hot water but no actual jets with force. The heat/ humidity/ bugs got to me. Meals including a private pay romantic dinner are outside. You just sweat and itch constantly. I didn’t care that beach is across from street but I did care about the loud music from the bar next door and party boats going in and out all day, You also spend all day saying “no thank you” to hustlers. If you are laying, eyes closed, they will keep saying “hey, hey you” until you sit and say “ no thank you”. You can’t walk along beach peacefully. There are miles of make shift “shops” in tarps at water’s edge. You may as well be walking along the state fair midway with people yelling for your attention. The rest of beach is other resorts with their DJs. Taxi Drivers, excursion people, guides….everyone is trying to shake you down for money…they are relentless “you gonna take care of me?” Anyone that was friendly, ended up asking for money or selling something. The resort was clean and staff pleasant, food good but I’d never go to a resort without a private beach again. There is only a private SECTION. The air smells like weed everywhere and pushers everywhere. I would not return.

I love that you really don’t have to leave the resort, if you came for peaceful vibes and a getaway. There is always transportation available from many booking agencies and taxi services. Bar staff and housekeepers was nice and friendly. The events that occurred during my stay was great. I enjoyed the food and music. The beach was indeed my favorite.

Food was horrible!! I’ve stayed at other Riu and food was amazing. They need a new chef. We put the door tag on our room for housekeeping to clean the room we came back mid afternoon no one cleaned we called front desk and they said they would send someone. We went back to our room that evening and the door tag was replaced with a do not disturb and room was not cleaned. Around 9pm someone came and asked if we still wanted them to clean the room we asked for them to come back in the morning. They need to do better.

The staff was so nice everybody I literally starting crying when I was checking out , the people was so good I’m trying to come every 3 months

Close to airport and three properties in one location
