    Humidity / Humedad en las habitaciones y la cama

    He ido a varios destinos en el caribe con más humedad que acá, y nunca en una habitación me pasó que la cama esté tan húmeda que tuve que plancharla y poner toallas todas las noches. La ropa de la maleta queda con olor a humedad a los pocos días. Y ni siquiera el aire acondicionado ayuda a secar el ambiente o las camas. Mala construcción (aislamiento). No esperaría este problema tan grande en un 5 estrellas. Soy de sudamericana y hablo inglés, pero para ser cadena española raro que nadie hable un poco. ———— I have been to several Caribbean destinations with more humidity than here, and never in a room has the bed been so damp that I had to iron it and put towels on it every night. The clothes in my suitcase smell damp after a few days. And not even the air conditioning helps dry the room or the beds. Poor construction (insulation). I wouldn't expect this big of a problem in a 5 star hotel. I am from South America and I speak English, but for a Spanish company it's strange that no one speaks a little.

    A good value but a little disappointed.

    This was our third stay at a Riu Resort in 3 years. Loved them in Negril and Cabo. This one was very disappointing. The facilities were nice, but just not quite kept up as clean or maintained as well as other RIU properties we’ve been at (such an easy thing to fix). The power went out for a few hours one evening - probably not their fault. But one day we literally didn’t have hot water in the entire resort for over 24 hour. The beach is fantastic and the decent snorkeling right off the beach - while not amazing - was a very pleasant surprise. The food was just OK, not nearly as good as it had been in Cabo or Negril. The biggest disappointment however, was the staff. They were just not friendly for the most part. They were a few that were, but at least 50% of them literally wouldn’t smile and seemed to hate their jobs. I would not recommend this RIU location to anyone.

    I would recommend Riu Ocho Rios to anyone.

    Riu Ocho Rios was a beautiful resort. It was very clean, food was plentiful, although it was busy it never seem to be too packed. Most of the staff was friendly, others not so much but the nice ones compensated for the not so nice ones. The beach was great, ocean was perfect to walk into and warm. The entertainment was good, everyone enjoyed White night and they had a big party for the Super Bowl. I was with my daughters and grandchildren and we all had a great time. We didn't have little ones to use the Waterslides but we walked over there and it looked like a great spot for children. The negative reviews are definitely not what I experienced at Riu Ocho Rios. I would recommend this resort to anyone and I would definitely go back.

    Extremely disappointed

    Extremely Displeased with Our Stay We recently stayed at this resort and unfortunately, our experience did not align with the high standards we expected given the astronomical price we paid. Over the course of our stay, we experienced multiple issues. We had no power for an extended period, and were without hot water for four consecutive days. This was extremely frustrating, especially considering the resort claims to provide a 5-star experience. To make matters worse, we encountered unprofessional behavior from hotel cleaners, who seemed to take the power key if the tip wasn't deemed sufficient. This was both disappointing and inappropriate. While we acknowledge the beauty of the resort and its amenities, these significant issues severely impacted our stay

    Wonderful Riu

    My first all inclusive and it was wonderful. Friends who’ve been on several said it was the best one yet. We’re no spoiled.
