    Awesome time

    Was at Hotel Riu Ocho Rios with my family. I must say it was so satisfying and relaxing and kids didn't want to go back home. From the large and clean rooms to the buffet style meals and restaurants. The clean and very accessible beach, the multiple clean pools and of all the wonderful staff.... it was all worth it and this is why I choose Riu Hotels over and over. Its always a great experience being at Riu with family, friends or even solo... I can attest to that. Great jobs guys, keep up the great work

    Riu OCho Rios

    Excellent, only issues were lock for a/c activation on sliding door falls apart, pluf on nightstand beside bed did not work. 650 credit is a scam they said coupons and minimal discounts on overeprices services, very misleading.

    Great value for money

    We had a really enjoyable stay and, overall, I think this resort offers great value for money. Having stayed here before, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the improvements, especially the food, which I found to be tastier than I remembered. The buffet had a great variety of options, so there was always something for everyone. The water park was definitely a highlight, especially for the little ones and teenagers. I also liked that there were dedicated daytime spaces for younger children and teens, giving different age groups their own areas to enjoy. It has a family pool as well as adults-only pools, which was a great option for adults who wanted some peace and quiet away from the kids. The property is quite large, with lots of recreational areas and plenty of things to do, so there’s no shortage of ways to spend your time. The nightly entertainment was also good and added to the overall experience. Overall, we had a great time and I’d say it’s a particularly good option for families looking for plenty to do without spending a fortune.
