I am coming to this resort for my birthday in April 2024... thank you for your honest review! We all have had bad days and perhaps RIU MoBay just had a rough few days. I have faith in them! I will definitely have a great time.
Yes I just stayed there 10/4 through 10/8/23 awesome time, all food was awesome stayed rui-reggae remember to tip the workers because they do an amazing job w pampering you and keeping your cup filled w your favorite alcoholic beverage…
I greatly appreciate this review.. I was on the fence with this one but I’m gonna go with it.. No room service kinda sucks but I’m willing to sacrifice that since overall everything else seems to be almost excellent…
The Palace Rius have room service. I hope y’all check out Palace Montego Bay so you can review. I’m thinking of staying there. I recently stayed at Palace Aquarelle and loved it
The RIU site specifies gratuity is included, but have seen reviews mentioning some expectations or different service provided, depending on tipping. Can you share your thoughts on the custom at this resort specifically? For getting drinks at the bar, at the food buffet, and house keeping?
We are going here the end of March. I am praying we made a good decision. I am handicapped but live to snorkel. I could do it all day! Can anyone tell me their snorkeling experience?
Which hotels have you guys been to where you thought the food and beach was better than here? I spent 12 days here last month and I’m missing the food now! Steak house steak was nice/outdoor jerk station, and in the buffet the salmon and goat were my favourite always cooked nice too - loved it! Entertainment bored me tbh agree on that and the sea weed was too much. Our room was decent sized and you can easily swap if you want something else. Have to agree service was excellent, even the reception phoning up my room to ask if everything is okay and I’ve never been to a hotel where you get given drinks so fast in the buffet😂❤
Lol thatd an awesome experience we definitely enjoyed our stay there and will be back!!! The food was very solid and as Jamaicans we appreciated the great local food there. Other hotels that gave us great food were Jewel Paradise Cove and Ocean Eden Bay as well......there are a few more but those were always in our mind.
I went October 2023, great service, great entertainment. We stayed at Riu Macao. Only downside was that that air conditioning in the room was motion detector. Which I totally agree is necessary for energy conservation, but when you are asleep at night, it gets hot and you have to wake up and wave your arms😂. I loved the swim up bar, entertainment was awesome too!!
He gave 5/5 for customer service, you gave 4/5. You said you interacted with fewer people than he did. You also cited no negatives in those interactions. So, what in those interactions denied them that extra point that would have made it a perfect 5/5 ?
@@ShenLG Thanks for y’all videos . I’m booking to go to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for New years which adult resort did you like the best between the Riu Montego vs Ocean Eden bay ?
I was at Riu palace punta cana in 2019 and IT was awesome as always (third time in Riu after Cancun and Aruba). I Will stay at This hotel in jamaica next april 2024. Hopefully IT Will be great as expected
The food was very very good. I missed it a lot first day back home. That jerk pork! Chef kiss! Toooo many opions. The only time i seen and ate oxtails was the 3 o clock buffet thats in the dining area. What I can say is sometimes it's not hot enough. Get a hot plate from warmers. The night snacks at sports bar aren't the best. So I would politely ask the chefs for plastic and wrap up my plate to have at night. And to eat on the beach. Had to walk to the bar for the microwave.
I smoked everywhere on the resort, except INSIDE the room. In the pool, club, and during the parties. The shuttle driver has it $40 for 3.5 .The salesman on th Beach has it. $30 for 3.5..he had all flavors . No complaints. The bud in the condiment cups are better than the first bag I got in a package. TRASH. Bud still on the stem. Smoked like hemp. Went to dispensary . $45 for 3.5 ($10 extra to buy).they have cheaper but its conveniently sold out.. I got some bud from local outside of it for wayyyyyyyyy cheaper! Paid 3$ for 2 blunts worth. That's all he had on him. he told me they charge up at resort but I say what can you do? I brought my own blunts from home. The best way is to find a local that has some fiyah mon!
@ShenLG So right now they are offering $619 in credits for about $200 extra. From what I was able to gather online it's a coupon book that discounts services not included in the all inclusive resort like spa service and jet ski rental. I can't find the prices for the extra amenities.
🎉I'm headed here in 2 days. Concerned about weather but looking forward to trip!
I have had extreme travel anxiety since reading google reviews. After watching your video I feel soooo much more at ease. Thank you!!!
Wow we are so happy we were able to help!!!!
Me to man my wedding is here next month and I’ve been seeing so many bad reviews.
Seaweed, at a beach!!!
What a shocker!!

I felt like no other resort could top it . But that's the only one I've been there. Did you go? Or what date?

You two are awesome. Great review.
Thank you kindly!
I went for a week mid February. I agree with your entire review@@ShenLG
Love this review. I would love to go in 2025 for my 60th🎉..Do they have elevators?
Yes they do!!!
Great review i felt the same going to ocho then Mo Bay. The sea bass filet was something that wowed me though!
Wow we should have tried that!! Next time we will!!
Great review. I just wanted to go there
You should!
The RIU site specifies gratuity is included, but have seen reviews mentioning some expectations or different service provided, depending on tipping. Can you share your thoughts on the custom at this resort specifically? For getting drinks at the bar, at the food buffet, and house keeping?
Well we tipped if the service was amazing but we didn't have anyone asking or requesting to be tipped.
Good review! Nice! Just enjoy!😂 I do reviews before I go anywhere, was it free for yall? Nah I'm sure it wasn't, but who knows 😅😂thanks
Patiently waits on you guys to visit riu negril so I can know which one is the best
Very soon!
We are going here the end of March. I am praying we made a good decision. I am handicapped but live to snorkel. I could do it all day! Can anyone tell me their snorkeling experience?
We didn't go snorkeling but they do have the activity
The food does not look GOOD at all. Traveling here in October I'm hoping the HOTEL watches and improved prior to our trip. Excellent review.
I hope so too!

I agree there was see weed and the entertainment was decent i my opinion I went to riu Montego Bay going to riu palace in 2weeks
Hey I’m planning on going to Montego Bay for New Years . Quick question Which resort was better in y’all opinion Ocean Eden bay or RIU Montego Bay ?
Never went Eden I backed out and went to riu palace.. Montego Bay def a good time
If your resort don’t have locals working and have another nation working then your experience def won’t be the same
Thank you for your review very helpful
You are ver much welcome😊
Nice review guys, I am pleased to hear about the food 😊
We enjoyed it!!!
Miss you guys
I’m going 9/17 I can’t wait!!!
Awesome!!!
Great Video Guys,
What the age range my wifes a young at heart 49 and im 53 .
But dont want to look old.
Would it suit us ?
Thanks
Definitely, LG is old at heart and he loved relaxing by the beach and enjoying the live music while having a drink
Now is this Riu palace, Montego Bay or just Riu Montego Bay? What’s the difference between the properties if any are they both the same name?
Hi , this is Riu Montego Bay , which is the club level. Palace is a higher class /level.
Hi guys. What are your thoughts and reviews if any on Couples Tower Isle. Thanks
We haven't been there as yet, but we've heard good things.
We haven't been there as yet but we hear good things
Do you have access to the other riu resorts
No, you would have access to the Montego Bay side if you stay at the Palace.
Have you seen Riu palace Punta Cana ???
No we haven't
I went October 2023, great service, great entertainment. We stayed at Riu Macao. Only downside was that that air conditioning in the room was motion detector. Which I totally agree is necessary for energy conservation, but when you are asleep at night, it gets hot and you have to wake up and wave your arms😂. I loved the swim up bar, entertainment was awesome too!!
Are there excursions to Blue Mountain? Or is too far from Montego Bay
Blue mountain is very far from Montego Bay, to get an excursion there it would be best to stay in a hotel in Kingston
IS THIS HOTEL RIU OR RIU PALACE? IVE HEARD IT WAS TWO DIFFERENT HOTELS IN Montego Bay
This was Riu Hotel, we will be doing a review on Palace in the near future.
He gave 5/5 for customer service, you gave 4/5. You said you interacted with fewer people than he did. You also cited no negatives in those interactions. So, what in those interactions denied them that extra point that would have made it a perfect 5/5 ?
They have cornmeal porridge for breakfast?
We really don't remember, there were so many choices
@@ShenLG thank you for taking time to respond and your detailed review
LOL
How was the comfort of the bed? Hard or soft?
The bed was very comfortable
Were there any hidden resort fees from the hotel at the end of your booking?
what resort would you recommend in JA with better food and entertainment?
We would definitely recomment Jewel Grande or Ocean Eden Bay
@@ShenLG Thank you for your replay. I will look into it
@@ShenLG new subcriber ❤️
@@ShenLG Thanks for y’all videos . I’m booking to go to Jamaica 🇯🇲 for New years which adult resort did you like the best between the Riu Montego vs Ocean Eden bay ?
Thank you for the review me and hubby will be here in april 2024. I just left the Riu Punta Cana and food was horrible I hope it’s not the same here.
Hope you enjoy it!
I was at Riu palace punta cana in 2019 and IT was awesome as always (third time in Riu after Cancun and Aruba). I Will stay at This hotel in jamaica next april 2024. Hopefully IT Will be great as expected

Wow Thank you!!!!!
Dem yankee
Do they offer room service?
No they do not
Padberg Plaza
From Canada and legal Pot. Can you purchase and smoke pot in areas of this resort?
Kind of the only answer I'm looking for watching these vlogs. Lol😅
There are legal stores in the Montegobay area
I smoked everywhere on the resort, except INSIDE the room. In the pool, club, and during the parties. The shuttle driver has it $40 for 3.5 .The salesman on th Beach has it. $30 for 3.5..he had all flavors . No complaints. The bud in the condiment cups are better than the first bag I got in a package. TRASH. Bud still on the stem. Smoked like hemp.

I brought my own blunts from home. The best way is to find a local that has some fiyah mon!
Do I need the 619$ in credit to enjoy the hotel?
Not sure.
I'm not sure what this means
@ShenLG So right now they are offering $619 in credits for about $200 extra. From what I was able to gather online it's a coupon book that discounts services not included in the all inclusive resort like spa service and jet ski rental. I can't find the prices for the extra amenities.
Tell me about the street off the resorts, ima contact yall if they try to finesse me😅😂answer my DM''S
I have a question, can you smoke cigarettes in the hotel?
There are designated smoking areas
They will be smoke area
