From the setting of the evening twilight 'till light breaks from the east through darkness of the night and extends till sunrise this is pukka!! cleanse that hectic city life out, I need this man😭😭 Ahmed 💜💚
I made reservations for this resort, summer of this year and I’m so happy I watched your vlog. Now I know what to expect. This is a very beautiful resort. Keep making beautiful contents. 👍🏽👍🏽
Planning a trip to Jamaica soon. Have stayed at other Riu resorts, including the one in Cancun which I loved. Was wondering about this one in Ocho Rios. But your video gave me a good idea on what to expect. Thanks for sharing !
I have stayed at RIU Negril and it was similar to this resort but I think that RIU Negril has a longer beach. Both RIUs look great and are filled with entertainment!
I had the pleasure of staying at the Riu in 2019....you have captured the beauty of the Riu so well...I enjoy all your videos...keep doing what you do, you make want to join you on your next venture, take me with you 😊 in fact my profile picture was taken on the beach at tge RIU 🎉
I love that! Thank you so much for such a beautiful comment 😊 We are planning a retreat in Jamaica next year, so watch this space, soon we will release the register 🤗🙏🏽 We might be vibing in JA together 😁
Just came back from the RIU for the first time from Dec 3-10, I hadn't been back to Jamaica since Sept 2019, Grounds & the Staff is great!! Happy New Yr!
I'm now realizing all the things I missed at the resort. Great video as always, thanks for keeping me calm with your vids until I was finally able to reunite with my friends & Family!
Wow! Amazing tour. Thank you for sharing. Looks like a lot of fun. ❤😊. Very informative, makes my decision alot easier. Happy travels kind lady. Blessings 🙌
Absolutely love your vidio about resort. I was a little bit frustrated wich resort to book. But after watching I made a decision, definitely Rio Ocho ! I LOVE ❤️ the beach !!!! We stayed at Riu Palace Tropical Bay at Negril , but I feel the Ocho one more beautiful layout. Thank you ,It was really a pleasure watching the video.
I am so glad I watched this review. I was debating between this resort and one that is not that far from that one, and after watching this review I made up my mind, my family and I are going to Riu!! I like that you were honest about everything, so thank you for sharing! On another note, what foundation and primer do you use? Your face looks flawless lol.
Hi, thank you so much 😄 I'm glad our video helped. What is the other resort you were considering? I’m planning my next trip too, and looking for inspiration 😄 The foundation I used for this video: Chanel Les Beiges water fresh tint and Nars concealer 😉
Your videos on these resorts have been top notch! Love it👍🏾 My husband and I will be traveling to Jamaica for the first time in 2024 to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. So far, between Riu Ochos Rio and Bahia Principe Luxury which resort did you enjoy the most overall? Those are the 2 we have narrowed it down to.
Thank you for the great feedback! It’s a tough choice between Riu and Bahia, but Bahia would be my choice mainly because of the grounds, beach, food and huge swimming pool! Riu is great for families with young children because of the water park. It also has incredible entertainment and it's very close to Ocho Rios and popular attractions like Dunns River. We plan on doing a comparison review of both hotels soon. Note: Bahia is currently doing renovations and new constructions - it's being done discreetly, though. I hope you have the best holiday in Jamaica 🇯🇲
@@TopRankingClub definitely was leaning more towards Bahia. Thank you for your feedback also. Looks like that Bahia luxury is going to be the choice for us! 😊
Thank you for your support 🥰 We travel to Jamaica quite frequently as that's our favourite happy place, and the only months we tend to avoid are September and October due to the weather (although it's not set in stone). I hope this helps 😄
Awesome video! Thanks for all the information. How did you find the food compared to other resorts? I’m debating Riu Ocho Rios or Riu Tropical Bay in Negril.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽 We haven't stayed at Riu in Negril as yet, but we've heard it's really lovely. When it comes to food, there is a lot to choose from, which is great, but if you are after an authentic Jerk, you'll have to venture out. There are a couple of resorts that we were pleasantly surprised with in terms of food: Jewel Grande in Montego Bay & Bahia Principe in Runaway Bay- where they served very tasty and authentic Jamaican dishes. As for Riu, we have always found something nice to eat. I hope this helps,have a wonderful time in Jamaica 💚
Hi, glad you checked out my video 😄 About smoking, it's actually not common in most places, especially resorts. Despite what you might see in the media, it's pretty low-key in real life. You only really see it at specific events. None at the tourist spots or where we stayed. For the legal details, here are some links: [Ministry of Health] (www.moh.gov.jm/smoking-is-still-prohibited-in-public-places-ministry-of-health/) and [UK Government Travel Advice](www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/jamaica/local-laws-and-customs).

@@TopRankingClubdid you leave the resort at all.
Hello 😄 Always, I couldn't go to Jamaica and not go by the river, pick up some street food and explore 🥰 those are my favourite thing to do 👍🏽
Wow! Amazing tour. Thank you for sharing. Looks like a lot of fun. ❤😊. Very informative, makes my decision alot easier. Happy travels kind lady. Blessings 🙌

Can you comment on ROTB. Here it’s a more expensive resort than Ocho but not sure it’s worth it for a first time to Jamaica
I am so glad I watched this review. I was debating between this resort and one that is not that far from that one, and after watching this review I made up my mind, my family and I are going to Riu!!

Which side of the hotel did you stay om please?
Did they scan your wrist band for restaurants etc
What are the wrist bands for ? Do you have to scan them for food like on Disney cruises
Hi ☺️ the wristbands are standard, colour-coded for adults and kids. They don't function as keys or restaurant passes. I hope that helps 👍🏽
Do you have a reveiw of the Grand bahia
Hello, yes we do 😄 please have a look at our channel: The Ultimate Bahia Resort review 👍🏼
How did you book the RIU in Ocho Rios? I can’t seem to find any travel websites that you can book this resort?
We booked via their website www.riu.com/en/home.jsp (look out for special promotions/deals) I hope this helps 👍🏽
Hi there, is there a lot of smoking please, just sonething we dont like ❤
