Oct 02, 2025Wow wow wow
Just coming to the end of our 2 week holiday and all I can say is Wow! What an amazing place to stay. Not only is this hotel fantastic, they have the staff to back it up. The cleaners, gardeners, housekeeping all work ridiculously hard to ensure the place is spotless (and it is) and as for the entertainment team, the are just something else. From the morning meet n greets around the pool to the pool games to the evening fun, they put 100% into everything they do. For an all inclusive, food and drinks were impressive (and drinks are strong 💪) buffet always had plenty of choice, we also used all the other restaurants and had great food in each. Beach bbq, lunch at the aqua bar and the beach jerk chicken shack at the RIU reggae are also a must. Do I recommend the RIU Palace? Yeh Mon! 🇯🇲

Elite Club by Riu
We arrived at the Riu Palace Jamaica on Sunday 14th September after a long enjoyable premier cabin flight with Tui Uk from Manchester UK. As Riu diamond members we had priority check in, and we were given a free upgrade to the new Elite club category. This gave us a room with a full sea view, which had a large comfy king size bed, which meant we got a good nights sleep during our stay. Upgraded spirits across the bars, a reserved area in the buffet restaurant at breakfast with an order to table menu, or self-serve from the buffet. An extra restaurant for use for dinner, and a quiet pool, beach and bar area reserved for the Elite guests. We also had access to the facilities of the next door hotels (Riu Montego Bay and the Riu Reggae). We ate in all the restaurants during our stay and enjoyed some of the best food ever served at a Riu hotel. (Also great jerk chicken served at lunch at the jerk shack at the Riu Reggae). There are 2 bars serving a good selection of drinks plus an excellent coffee shop, serving great cakes. The beach is clean and the water shallow. The entertainment team, did a great job keeping the guests entertained day and night and there were some very good guest acts during our stay. However what made our stay special was the brilliant staff across all departments, who were always happy and engaged with you in conversation. Their smiles kept us smiling. We have no hesitation in recommending this hotel, just ignore the moaners on these pages. We had a fantastic stay.

Best Holiday
Fantastic holiday 😀. The RIU PALACE was amazing, room lovely, spacious and clean. House keeping first class. Food amazing from the main dinning room, good variety of food (and I'm a fussy eater). Always found something eat. The restaurants was easy to book, we never had an issue booking, despite reviews. Entertainment team were amazing, friendly and always spoke even if you didn't join in. Looking forward to going back again next year Xx

What a beautiful holiday
Our last night after a wonderful 11 night stay. We upgraded to the Elite Club and so glad we did. The view over the ocean was wonderful. The food was amazing and the room kept spotlessly clean. All the staff are so polite and nothing was too much trouble. A special mention to Sheldon and Hugh.... absolutely 5 star care and attention. Also Vincent was very welcoming at the Elite Club restaurant. An absolute pleasure to have spent our holiday in the presence of such fabulous people The only slight criticism we have was the noise at night, but fortunately this finished just after 11pm. Thank you Riu Palace, we hope to visit again one day .
