I stayed here with my family for four days. Would absolutely recommend, especially if traveling with children. The entertainment staff was excellent. They had lots of activities and things to do during the day. At night before the adult show they even have a show for children. The food wasn't as good as other resorts that I've stayed in Jamaica, but I would absolutely go back.

Over all everything was great- my only complaint is the shore on the property - it’s extremely rocky and shallow - and you are not able to swim. Staff were friendly- good food options- staff is accommodating to food restrictions- everyone is friendly. Every night there were entertainment options.

My stay at Rui Palace was not pleasant at all. The service was horrible. The people who work there are very rude and I did not even have the pleasure of being welcomed. The food service in the rooms is horrible. I paid for airport transportation, they never provided it for me. I had to pay separately. All the restaurants are by appointment and the entire appointment is always busy. It was not a pleasant experience.

When I first walked into my room there was feces in the toilet. The food options are advertised as having plentiful variety, but were very limited. Room services consists of turkey/cheese sandwiches and chicken salads ONLY. The restaurants on the property almost never have availability for reservations. We were not allowed to order take out from their restaurant with or without a reservation. The buffet business hours are a HUGE inconvenience different. Needless to say I was better off downloading an app and ordering food from an outside restaurant. 50% of the staff are super rude!! Very unhelpful, the tour guide wasn’t even available to offer the tour services when she specifically asked me to meet her at 10am and her work colleague said she wasn’t even in on 6/25. Also, that colleague didn’t even attempt to help after the fact, terrible customer service. Thankfully I booked my own excursions via expedia. Also, I had advised RIU that I paid for transportation and the same company that I booked for transport does free transfers round trip to the Riu resort!! Not once did Riu offer to reimburse me for the fees I paid for transportation. It was a very bad and different experience than what I had at Riu Punta Cana. I won’t recommend anyone to go there until those issues are addressed. The locals were amazingly friendly and make it very easy to navigate outside of the resort so ultimately, I just would return to my room to sleep.

From drop off I only used my hands to eat and to hold a glass to drink. This was a beautiful resort. The Michael Jackson performance was VERY good! Rooster was very entertaining! Would definitely visit again. Resort is smaller but I still enjoyed myself. I did not like there was a certain person I had to book a tour through.

Firstly, staff made the stay above five stars very clean easy to navigate. Food was delicious. Easy to find the restaurants. The pools are very clean. The beach was very clean. The towel service was easy to locate. Everything was easy to find. We felt very relaxed there, me and my wife enjoyed our stay over the three days that we were there And we would definitely recommend coming back here and would even consider coming back here ourselves. Thanks to the RIU Aquarelle for making our stay so wonderful.
