The company RIU lacks any decency, morals, integrity, or class. I booked the wrong hotel RIU paradise Montego Bay. Lo and behold there’s another.RIU paradise tropical Bay. So you could see how it could a mistake can be made. RIU would not transfer the booking from Montego Bay to Negril where my family was staying. It’s OK Expedia.and RIU can expect lawsuits filed by me pro se. Of course I don’t expect to make any money, but I’m going to keep filing so Expedia and RIU spend money for lawyers to defend these cases. Secondly, I have 20 secretaries that are gonna devote one hour per day for the next month bashing Expedia and. RIU hotel chains. Save your money.

You could not use the beach without being harassed by the guys in the little boats trying to get you to buy stuff. You couldn’t walk in any area between the three resorts without the same thing happening. Everytime you passed by, it was the same thing. Very annoying and not why people go on vacation.

Getting to pool so inconvenient. Inside breakfast seating unheard of. Worst when going to buffet as mot tables. But onside fullyvacant but off limits. Food stated various culinary offerings. All seem exactly the same. I have stayed at RIUs for over 25 years and i will never come back to Jamaica. Should have been upgraded for free, said they couldnt as they didnt have rooms. Nut if wanted to pay 300 per night i could. How can that be?

Resort was nice a little outdated restaurants hard to make reservations so when my husband and I first got there for the first 2 1/2 days we were not able to use the restaurants we had to use the buffet. I feel like this could be improved upon outside of the vacation was well.
