Riu Reggae - Adults Only - All Inclusive

5 stars Had a fantastic holiday... fantastic place, amazing food... the staff absolutely superb. Incredible welcoming helpful and attentive. They really made us feel right at home. Thank you to RIU TEAM.

Arrival to Jamaica We left from the Ottawa (YOW) airport on Sunday and arrived in Montego Bay on Sunday around 4:00 pm. We breezed through customs/security in less than 20 minutes as it was not busy. I have heard of the airport being a nightmare when busy, so thankful that it wasn’t as we didn’t get the Club Mobay. By the time we got to our bus, 3 separate people had asked us to buy ****… so it truly is that easy to get it. No one bugged us about carrying our bags or if we needed a taxi. That was a nice change from being to Cuba and DR where they will snatch your luggage from your hand and than expect a tip. You immediately get that laid back vibe from everyone. Transport to Resort We went through Sunwing so we took the big tour bus. We left the airport once everyone got on and we were the first stop at Riu Reggae. It was less than a 10-minute ride from the airport to the resort. Arrival at Resort We arrived at the resort around 4:45 pm. Our room was ready and check in was very fast. We were a group of 5 people with 3 different rooms, and they made sure we were all on the same floor and close to each other. Room Review We got a standard room with garden view and a king size bed. The room is underwhelming as we expected. No different than a hotel room back home but with a balcony. The room had the typical hotel complimentary items, a safe, iron, blow dryer, robes, etc. The mini fridge had Coke, Sprite, Fanta, water, and beer. Only extra feature we had was your own bar with Vodka, Rum, Gin, and Whiskey. The blackout curtains were on point. Perfect to make room completely dark for a late afternoon nap. The air conditioner worked very well, and the humidity wasn't almost non-existent. None of our clothes or sheets felt wet/sticky. Cons I would point out are; - Our mirror had quite a bit of rust on the edges. Very noticeable and just not appealing. - If you are taking a shower later in the evening, the water will only be lukewarm. I am sure because everyone is showering and getting ready for dinner/night out at the same time. - You do hear the planes very faintly and hear people through your door. The walls are thick, but the door lets almost every sound through. - There are no ash trays on the balconies as you aren't supposed to smoke on them. Even though everyone does. - The bed is a little firm and pillow aren't anything special. When I went to bed the first night, I was very surprised to only see a flat sheet as the blanket. I thought they forgot the blanket and checked with our friends what they had. You just get a blue fleece blanket to sleep with that is in the closet. As a person who sleeps with a weighted blanket, it was a bit disappointing. - When you open your balcony door the air conditioning turns off. - The rooms are economical friendly with your key card that you slide into the slot on the wall to turn the power on. We left our extra key card in the whole time and our maid took it the second last day. - You request your mini

We could not have asked for a better experience at the Riu Reggae. The staff work very hard to keep everything clean from your room to the common areas. Any mess we saw was from inconsiderate guests. We chose to eat at the buffet only as there was always plenty to choose from. The entertainment team is out of this world AMAZING. I won't spoil it.. check them out yourself. The resort overall is in my opinion suitable for everyone. If you want to party, you can. If you want to just chill, you can. We stayed in a garden view room (1179) which was quiet yet not too far from anything.
