Best stretch of beach on the whole island! The food was outstanding at both the buffet and at all of the specialty restaurants. Service was top notch, everyone at the resort was extremely friendly and helpful. My 11 year old daughter absolutely loved her time here, as did my wife and I. We can't say enough good things about the resort but especially the staff, who were all great! Don't let the beach vendors put you off, there are some interesting people that you can meet that only want to help you have a good time in Jamaica. Get yourself a good captain, like Captain Coco, who can take you on fishing or snorkeling adventures. Also, a reliable and safe driver like Floyd's Taxi can get you to all kinds of local attractions. Don't be afraid to shop at local stores for much better deals on gifts and crafts than you can get at the beach or in the resort gift shop. Also check out some amazing natural wonders like Blue Hole or Mayfield Falls.

Had an awesome stay at the RIU Palace Tropical Bay in Negril. The beach is beautiful (no seaweed or rocks, nice clear/warm water). The jerk hut on the beach served delicious food that we had for lunch every day. In fact, the food in general was great (from the buffet to the à la carte restaurants). Loved the fresh omelettes in the mornings and the steak served at each restaurant is delicious! The bartenders are friendly, hilarious and fun. The vendors on the beach were a bit pushy. My best advice is to ignore them and don’t even make eye contact. Transportation is a 1.5-2 hour bus ride from Montego Bay airport. We booked with Jamaica Tours Limited and can’t complain, they were on time and bus drivers were friendly. On the way, our driver taught us a bit about the towns on the way, Jamaican culture and lifestyle.

Staff were great as was service. Facilities and the room were nice. Food completely average, not great but not bad….room service is not good at all, and the 24 hour snack lounge is terrible. Coffe bar was great, as were the regular bars but there are zero top shelf options at this resort. There is also very little to no nightlife at this resort. It’s a very low energy quiet resort for sure. We didn’t hate our stay but we also didn’t really enjoy it much. The beach is amazing and was the only reason we decided to stay here to start with. Hope that helps.

Best Birthday Trip Ever
The staff was PHENOMENAL!! DO YOU HEAR ME - PHENOMENAL!! Despite being personally affected by Hurricane Beryl that had taken place about a week before my trip, the staff was pleasant and seemed to care about my comfort and enjoyment. The food and drinks were really good and diverse. I have zero complaints. The premises was clean and well kept.
