Riu Palace Tropical Bay Reviews

This was a last minute trip, the price was right, free upgrade to beachfront room with booking....although the resort was smaller than some that we visited, the rooms and service made up for that but you also had privileges at the sister hotel about a 20 minute walk down the beach. Good food and drinks, a very nice beach...pool was okay but great service at the swim-up bar. Great value for the price

We had an amazing time on this vacation. I'd never been anywhere before on vacation (at that point), and I went with 2 close girlfriends and 3 guy friends we didn't know too well. Well, 2 years later myself and one of the guys is getting married next month after falling in love on this trip! The place is amazing.. amazing sunset, things to do, beach bar rules, kayaking is great- views of the surrounding mountains from the water are spectacular. Food is eh but you dont' really care.

Beautiful resort. Excellent service. Sumptuous food. Agreat place to relax. My only criticism was the inefficient transfer company that we used to drive us to and from the airport.

I had an amazing time! Truly one of the best trips I have ever taken. The staff was always friendly and helpful. The food was great. I will always remember this trip and can't wait to go back!

This was the 3rd year in a row that we had been to the Riu Palace in Negril. This year we decided to get married there. Everything was perfect and stress free! We plan on returning again next year.

This resort was well worth your $$$$. The staff was very attentive, grounds maintained beautifully and entertainment was good. Our room smelled a little musty. I would definetely return.

We went to the RIU Tropical Bay in late April. It was outstanding. From the absolutely beautiful bay that makes you feel so secluded and sheltered from the atlantic ocean. Our room was perfect and the women who cleaned were so accomodating. We left her a list of what we wanted in our mini fridge (more red stripe 12 and less soda water). The staff was more than freindly. We went on a zipline tour of the rain forest, scuba diving 30 ft for 45 min, went on a sunset cruise with captain chris, Ricks cafe, parasailing, went into negril and just walked around and took in jamaica. My girlfriend wants me to open my horizons and experience puerto rico or dominican republic or some other carribean island but i really can't imagine a better place for the money. We aren't rich and money WAS an object lol and I have never spent my hard earned money better. GO you will not be disappointed.

2nd trip here in 2 yrs. 1st was 2-3 months after the remodel, & it seemed a little nicer. Buffet food selection wasn't quite as good 2nd trip, but was still pretty good. Wish they would do away with the dinner reservation requirement for the resturants. The jerk hut on the beach is fantastic. Bar staff is great. Room service is promt. Maid staff does well. Would return, but just want a change of scenery. Check it out. You'll like it.

I stayed atthe Riu PalaceTropical Bay in June fora week and itwas a nice, relaxing vacation. The atmospehre was great and the staff was so friendly always making sureyou was taken care of. They had a lot of different food choices to select from, and the open bar was the best. I woulddefinitely go again. I walked the beach everyday and theyalso had water activities to keep you entertained. The night entertainmnet was very enjoyable.

This resort is family friendly or for couples. clean and well kept the staff are very helpful and polite....food was great.....my only drawback is that their entertainment could be better....but you can find that minutes away from the hotel....overall it is a great resort to vacation and I would highly reccommend it and I will stay there again
