This adults-only hotel leads its debut with a prime beach position and four à la carte restaurants.
Soft white sand comes to your doorstep at this beachfront hotel. There’s a relaxed vibe to the place, though it’s just 10 minutes’ drive from Montego Bay and its line-up of shops, restaurants and nightlife.
The hotel sits between the Riu Montego Bay and Rui Reggae and, as such, you can move between the three for bars and restaurants. When it comes to the huge pool, though, you’ll probably want to stay put.

the worst place to stay
i would never recommend this hotel worst place ti stay so close to airport planes fly over your head every 15 mins so if you are relaxing at pool not happening only 1 bartender at pool bar most of the time so it best to get up and get your own drinks instead of waiting for waitress dinner for speciality restaurants require you to be there by 630 so your pool time is shorten if you are traveling more than 2 peole dont bother with this hotel at all they cant handle a large group even through they have weddings??? room service takes over 2 hours and you have to keep calling them service is horrible room service is a very small menu food just ok not great most entertaining is at the riu montego bay next door so you have to leave your hotel the staff is rude and the women not friendly not enough seating set out for outside aqua bar staff wont bring more chairs out so we left and went next door food ok i stayed with salad and seafood kept it safe the steak house is a joke you get a small basket of fries that you have to share small portions of food so you might want to go to buffet as a back up and staff is horrible next year back to Punta CanaMore
Lois S,
Great Resort
This resort is very beautiful. Most of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Jamar and Philmore made every meal time at the buffet a great experience. They were so funny and impressionable!! Thank you guys:) The grounds were clean and very well maintained. The rooms were very clean and our maid was extremely friendly and accommodating! The food was amazing!!!! The nightly entertainment is something that needs to change, because it was pathetic. They need to set up a decent size stage and have regular entertainment like all other resorts. The bartenders at the Vogue bar really need to even pretend they enjoy their jobs, because they were not friendly at all. They make you feel like you are bothering them, However, the waitresses there were very friendly. Having said that, it was a great vaca!More

Vacation Comments - RIU Palace Jamaica April 30, 2019 - May 7, 2019
I would love to take this opportunity to provide you with feedback on my recent stay at the RIU Palace April 30, - May 7th 2019. Accommodations, ambience, activities we 5💎💎💎💎💎 diamons. Upon arrival we were extremely impressed. The ambience was that of beauty and elegance. It proved to be the ideal vacation place for my fiancee, friends, and myself. My fiancee and I decided to upgrade our room and were assigned room 2054. The front desk receptionist was extremely helpful. I don't remember his name but the clerk I.D. on our receipt (for our room upgrade) was #1234. We were extremely impressed with our suite. It was clean, beautifully decorated with modern decor, and our suite stayed fully stocked every day. Our room attendant (Nadine) was so polite and courteous. She made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Other staff that made an extreme impression on us was my sweet precious Nickesha whom we first met at the Zen restaurant she was our server. Her radiant and contiguous smile truly lit up the room and illuminated our hearts with warmth and happiness. She was extremely knowledgeable of all menu items. She made us feel so very special. I felt as though she was an extension of my family and we looked forward to seeing and talking with her each day. Our pool servers, Shantal and Kemorine, were awesome! They made sure we were very well taken care of and they were so polite, patient, and accommodating. And they always greated us with a smile. Friday, my fiancee and I had a couple's massage on the beach. Unfortunately I do not recall the names the two ladies that gave us our massage but they too were awesome they did an excellent job! Saturday night, my fiancee, our 4 friends and myself had a romantic dinner on the beach. Our server was Simarje. Simarje made sure that our night went above our expectations. He was whitty, entertaining, and knowledgeable. He fully announced and described each course, he further accommodated us by taking group and individual pictures. Awesome job Simarje!! Also I would like to acknowledge Oscar (Agua bar) for his outstanding service and then there was Kash! OMG this young man was so energetic and entertaining! I have also had the opportunity to vacation at the RIU Montego Bay, RIU Ocho Rio and by far the RIU Palace has been my overall hands up favorite! Thank you RIU Palace for an awesome vacation. I have already begun verbally advertising for your resort. Can't wait to revisit. Sincerely, Sharon Jackson & Allan Bryant _________^_ I would love to take this opportunity to provide you with feedback on my recent stay at the RIU Palace April 30, - May 8th 2019.

57sherrie,
The hotel staff makes this wonderful all inclusive palace a slam dunk for a week of enjoyment
This Riu Palace is a link in the chain of excellence that we have come to expect in the highest quality of all of the best resorts around the world. Aside from the beautiful landscaping and the cleanliness of the entire property, It is clearly the Jamaican staff of the resort that makes this a come back again vacation spot. More

A lovely fortnight in the sun
A great 2 weeks relaxing in the sun. We are a couple of Early risers and early nighters, who enjoyed a relaxing fortnight lazing on the beach. Such friendly people, the staff couldn’t do enough for you. A shout out to Audley at breakfast and lunch. Jason and Christina in the lobby bar Vogue and Latoya serving us drinks on the beach from the Lime bar. Breakfast for 7, a couple of lengths across the bay by 8 and then time to chill with a good book and then cocktails served at 10!! Well we were on holiday! Quick change and then lunch at 12.30. A great selection in the Buffett, never got bored. A couple of times we wandered over to the Reggae for jerk chicken, anyone complaining about food must be extremely fussy. When we go abroad we don’t want to eat English food, if we did we would stay at home. Back to soak up some more rays on the beach after a couple more lengths across the cove, maybe try some paddle boarding, kayaking or pedalos nothing to energetic.... We tried all the restaurants, the Japanese our favourite and the Steak restaurant our least, to be honest we preferred the food in the Buffett, a great choice. We particularly enjoyed the cheese and biscuits in the Buffett washed down with a glass of Cockburns port. We ventured to the aqua bar after dinner on a few occasions but were generally found in Vogue the lobby bar playing backgammon served by the lovely Christina or Jason. I’m afraid we were unable to venture far due to a bad back, but we would love to return to Jamaica, although I think we would go to Ochos Rios to be nearer tourist attractions. The only downside for me were the airplanes, but they didn’t bother my husband, but on the plus side only 10 minute transfer from the airport.. More
