Great video guys. I stayed here a few years ago prior to the renovations (which at the time, it was still a fantastic resort). This new renovation looks amazing. Can't wait to go back

@@romainestephaniestravelcha6856 please tell me if the food was excellent or just good or ok, and if you can compare with Riu Ocho Rios if youve been. Thx
The food at RIU Ocho Rios is good and there are a variety of restaurants on the property. I would suggest getting there when the desired restaurants open to ensure your food is hot and fresh.
You are most welcome. We hope you enjoy your stay. If you have yet to do so, please be sure to subscribe to our channel. Thank you in advance for your support.

The food was great alot to choose frm no complains.but I can also recommend the plantation smoke house which is off the resort its located in the Same area
There was no Jerk Hut on the beach when we visited however there was a Jerk chicken stand by the pool which also served hamburgers. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel.
This is beautiful. I love your video. May I ask, " what side you stayed on, was it the Grand side", I know the had a Jerk Hut on the beach when I was there in 2019 on the Grand side. I was looking but I couldn't see the jerk hut in the video. Is it still there ? I will be going back to the Riu summer this year. Thank you
Thank you so much for the love and support. There is a jerk chicken stand right by the pool by the buffet open everyday in the afternoons. We have stayed on every side there is my dear, I am thinking the jerk hut was replaced with the jerk stand.
They have both but not everyday. Their menus change daily but we have seen both on the buffet. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel as more videos are on the way. 🙂
If my memory serves me correctly there was no Indian restaurant at the RIU. Upon your arrival you can download things to do and all available restaurant and the cuisine type is listed. Please be sure to subscribe to our channel as more videos are on the way.
@@romainestephaniestravelcha6856 thanks for the quick response. Is this hotel close to everything. Also, is there a shuttle provide by the hotel to and from the airport
My pleasure. If you book through RIU.com there is an option for free shuttle services to and from Sangster Airport. (Montego Bay). As far as the resort location, you are centrally located by all excursion areas in Ocho Rios. You can also hire a taxi to take you to the local shops and restaurants. 🙂
Thanks for the video. Are masks required in the restuarants or was that required since it was March when you did the video? Did you experience the water park at all?
In March they were and it was strictly enforced at the RIU. Since then, mask are not required in Jamaica so don't expect it. We just came back from another resort in Jamaica this weekend and no mask were required for anything at all. The Waterpark is more so for the children so we opted not to partake. 😊 Please be sure to subscribe to our channel as we have more videos on the way.

Hey! Im considering going here for my first time in Jamaica! I found this hotel on expedia and then saw your video. do you recommend booking anywhere app wise / website wise? & is this good for someone who has never been out of the country besides mexico?!
Hey there, I would suggest comparing the rate directly with RIU.com. The rates have been better, you get points for your stay and transportation to and from the resort is free.

How was food for an all inclusive resort
They have a variety of food and several restaurants to choose from. On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the highest. We would give RIU a 7. 🙂

@@romainestephaniestravelcha6856 thank you so much for all the info
Sure thing. Happy travels 🙂🙂
Great video, I am about to book now.
Enjoy yourself!!!
How long was the shuttle from airport to resort? I saw a review that it was a 3 hour ride.
If other passengers are aboard and needing to be dropped off at other resorts, it will take about 2 hours, if not 1 hr and 30 minutes.
Hello is there a hot tub at the resort?
Hey there Matt, yes, some suites and penthouses have hot tubs. There are no Jacuzzis by the pools. I hope this helps. 🤗
