I was in the hospital completely unexpectedly for 8 nights and missed our trip to Jamaica. Nobody at the resort or through Expedia would help us get a waiver or change our dates. I made many attempts and nobody was willing. We didnt want our money back, just wanted to change to a date we could go. So disappointing.

Rooms were dated, housekeeping was really good, drink service at beach was sub par or non existent. Front desk was helpful and bar staff were fun. Buffet was good but specialty restaurants ok. Property was very clean. The oddest thing were the beds. Instead of a king, there were 2 full size beds pushed together. I felt like I was falling in a hole all night. The beds were made up with 2 sheets per bed, no comforter.

Room was cleaned daily. Evening shows were amazing as they reflect Jamaica. Most of the staff were courteous, but some staff who work in the buffet and restaurants (mostly females) were unfriendly and unwelcoming. We loved fitness classes taught by "Happy Feet". It would be great if you add at least one more class of Riumba per week and /or dance lessons.

We had an amazing experience at the Riu Tropical Bay Negril! The staff were so welcoming, kind, and friendly. The rooms were clean and cleaned daily (if you choose). We had an ocean view and it was beautiful to wake up to. The property was kept up nicely and very well taken care of. There was always a variety of food options daily. We will definitely be coming back!
