Despite a major mix up on arriving at the Hotel where they sent me to Riu Negril instead of Tropical Bay, an error that took all day to rectify, hence a day lost of relaxation. The entertainment staff were fantastic. Especially Ninja. I found all staff extremely helpful The rooms were great. I was without a face cloth for two days and had to chase up an iron that should have been in the room. Minor details. Food excellant. I found all Jamaicans both on and off the resort to be very helpful. I will definately be returning to Jamaica and Tropical Bay. This was my first time in Jamaica.

Loved the view and was treated to a wedding almost every day. Our balcony overlooked the gazebo in the yard where they held some of the wedding services. The people were friendly, lovely, polite, and complimentary. The only minor issue we had was a leak in the bathroom and later the mini bar area. It was fixed after it was reported. The other thing was that the fridge in our room was broken and never fixed, but we didn't follow up on getting that fixed because there was plenty to drink at the bars an ice was available if we found that we needed to cool our drinks.

Me and my girlfriend had a nice stay at the Riu Tropical Bay with a few exceptions. We were there for 7 days. Upon arrival the hotel staff were friendly and that continued to be the case during our entire stay. The food was decent, however the variety of foods didn't change much from day to day. Also, you have to wake up early everyday if you want to book reservations for any of the private restaraunts and the long line builds up fast. We used the gym a couple of days when we were there. Some of the treadmills were out of order but the gym was free to use. The water was so warm. Weather was decent, ranged from 80 - high 80s everyday. But it would downpour everyday from 1:30pm for about an hour. Just about everynight there is a show starting at 9:30pm which was nice to see. As for the hotel room, it was nothing spectacular. We tried to keep the room tidy on a daily basis to make it easier for the housekeeper to clean. There was a high step into the tub and the showerhead sucked.

The beach was incredible, fabulous sand, calm water, super friendly staff, wicked clean and lots of opportunities to win free rum. Also, the electrical outlets adapt to several types of plugs. I totally will stay here again. One con: Mosquitoes - I suppose you'll find this everywhere on the island, just bring some insect repellant.

Rooms smell so bad you couldn't breath!! The curtains were covered in mildew which was very nasty. Don't stay here if you want real Jamaican cuisine!! Food is very bland!

I just got back from Jamaica and the Riu Tropical Bay was a great place to stay. The staff was super friendly and helpful, the property was gorgeous and the food was pretty good. I don't suggest wasting your time making reservations at the restaurants there...the buffet was the best place to eat and lunchtime at the Jerk Hut was the best! The restaurants food was crap in my opinion. Make sure you pack plenty of bug spray cause mosquitoes will attack you. Plan for an hour and a half ride to/from the airport and ask for an ocean view room...those are def the best rooms! Other than that, there are plenty of fun activities to keep you busy on the property but if you want to venture out, seven mile beach is only 10 minutes away by cab. Stay here!!!

The Riu Tropical Bay is a very nice resort located right on the beautifil Bloody Bay in Negril. Check-in was very quick and simple. We got very lucky with our room, it was on a second floor and had a view of the sea and beatiful sunsets. Rooms in this building were recently renovated and had all marble bathroom with two sinks. Our Room was beatifully decorated and had a new flat screen TV. Food quality and choices were really good in this all-inclusive resort. There were 2 pretty small pools, but with such a great beach - we did not even try swimming in pools. Water in one of them (with the bar) looked merky, another pool with clear water was mostly used for pool walleyball. The only thing that we did not like much was the nightly entertaiment, it was very medioke quality. Everything else we liked very much. This resort is relatively small in size, but is very nicely decorated, everything is located very close, which was very convinient. We will highly recommend this hotel/resort to anyone, and would like to come back there in a future.

Riu Tropical Bay is a very lovely resort. There is lots to do on the resort, and the 24 hour food options make it hard to want to leave the resort. This is my third stay at Riu. If there was something that I did not like as much is the food choices. They had a lot of food options, but the choices did not go together. For instance, they would have meat choices with random side dishes that did not necessarily go with the meat choices. They also did not have any beef or turkey meat choices for breakfast, so we had to work with that. Overall however, it is a great hotel with very friendly staff and they do work at trying to accommodate your needs.

Probably one of the best bargains in Negril. Staff is excellent. Jerk chicken is the best! Location is great too. Large suites. However, be careful with the beds. We had two twin beds joined together because they ran out of rooms with king sized beds. The beds are one of the firmest I have ever slept on. All in all, this is one vacation that I will never forget.

We were very pleased with the hotel overall. The food and drinks were great and the beach was awesome. The only negative was the pool. It was a bit cold and dirty. Every morning I would watch a guy clean the border around the pool rinse his broom inside the pool, leaving a sandy scum to float around the edge of the pool all day. I was really more interested in the beach anyway.

The people at the hotel were very friendly. They went out of their way to make sure that we were enjoying our stay there. The food was good and the room was very nice. We enjoyed our honeymoon there and would consider going back for an anniversary trip in the future.

Our Jamaican vacation started upon walking into the elegant lobby of the hotel. The friendly staff immediately put us at ease. The fruit basket and welcome note in our room really enhanced our mood to have fun, which we did for the time we were there. The beach was fantastic. My wife wouldn't let me go to bed until I danced until 2 o' clock each morning at the disco. The food was great, especially the local fare and the gourmet restaurants.

The RIU Tropical Bay Resort was a Great place to vacation!!! My wife and I just relaxed and had a wonderful time. We have already decided to go there again next year:) We have been to Hawaii 3 times in the past, and have decided that we have enjoyed this place as much and if not better then Hawaii, and we didn't have to fly 12 hours to get there. The resort personnel could not have been any more friendlier or helpful from the welcome drink at the front desk to the last goodbye they were GREAT! :):) The Dunns River Falls trip was Good also.

The Riu Tropical Bay was very good in many respects. I'll focus on where they could improve. In order to eat in one of the nicer restaurants, you have to stand in line starting about 8:00 am for the 9:00 am sign up, a problem if you want to do the morning scuba dive. Also, their sailboats and dive boats were poorly maintained, and they have no sign up list for the hobie cats, which resulted in several angry clashes with guests competing for the sailboats. The workout room equipment was also in very poor condition, and the room was not adequately air conditioned, don't count on being able to workout there. The most concerning aspect, was the fact that the staff would hit on my teenage daughter anytime she was alone, which made her very uncomfortable. Having said all that though, the buffet was very good, the beach was great, the entertainment was fun, and we did enjoy the trip.
