Thanks for the review...My first visit was back in 2012. I had an awesome time... Plan on going back later on this year. A bit disappointed to learn that the disco room is no more.... I hope by now that has been sorted out and I do hope they have a snack bar open after hours.
Please keep us posted on All things travel related properties, transfers, excursions etc....on Island...your channel is awesome!!! And in regard to social distancing and the new way on Island. Thank you
We went in October 2019 and this was my first time going to any RIU and tbh the ambiance was the part part of the hotel. The entertainment was ok too it was on the sand but ended at 12am. Customer service was a 4 maybe 3...… they need training. I hate that they put two beds together and call it a king in some rooms. You cant bring food to the room, so don't get hungry after 12... the sports bar food is trash I guess the no food in room is for pest control but yet I heard things running up and down in the roof (was on the top floor). Its a great place to bring kids if you don't mind everything else.
Hey! We truly regret the experience you had. We hope they have improved in these areas to make other experiences a pleasant one. Please let us know how Island Trotters may assist you in your future travel plans.
Island Trotters I booked for August b4 discovering your page, but I will definitely book with you next time.... I love your reviews. I’m waiting on your the H10 review, would like to go there but saw some bad reviews so far... maybe now that the hotel is finished.... officially...., you can give me something to look forward to.
Spot on review! I was there in Feb earlier this year and had a great time but there is no longer a disco/dance floor which was sad! Would you know if there is a reception area for weddings and have you visited Ocean Coral Spring as yet?
Hey Roy i'm happy we share the same opinion! For weddings I know they have a Gazebo specific for that purpose as well as they mostly have weddings on the beach. For Coral Spring we haven’t done an official shoot yet but look out for it soon. 👍🏽
When I complained to the front desk about the view & bed situation, (someone’s backyard with a barking dog), she told me “you pay for the view not the bed”. Told her flat out LIES! Then I had an incident with our housekeeper. I will never forget her name nor her stank attitude until I responded to her in patois, her attitude was a whole lot better the rest of the 8 days I was there. I’m glad they updated it but sad it took some of the charm with it. I’m still planning a return trip
Hello Melissa the team would love to assist you! However send them the details on the WhatsApp, tell them specifically the month, hotel etc.. The number is 876.573.0123. 👌🏽
Hopefully the newly renovated pools & bars are open past 6pm. There was absolutely nothing to do after dinner except try to endure their pm entertainment which was juvenile at best, to be polite. And why in the world did they get rid of the jerk chicken hut? It was one of this hotel's premier features imho. And who could forget the numerous power outages in the early am hours, so the colluded staff could perform their well articulated theft of particular customers deemed either wealthy, arrogant or both? Take a pass on Jamaica. Thank me later.
@@balrenstoblight9996 Drove through poverty-filled boroughs to and from the hotel, with rare sightings of civilization en route. Fifteen people slaughtered in Mobay on our departure day. Yeah, um, no thanks. keep it. As for your 'ignorant' jab? I will let the people decide for themselves.
@@nicetna2010 passing through poverty stricken communities does not mean that one should pass on Jamaica..if u wanted to go to first world country then u should not have come to Jamaica.. arrogant plus ignorant
Great video. I visited riu back in 2016 and loved the place. I plan on visiting again next summer when the pandemic is hopefully over
Thank you! We hope to see you soon!

Wow.. But after the experience your stay was better?
The property was aesthetically pleasing.
I agree!

Yeah I've been to Jamaica over 10x and riu 3x and never experienced that. To label an entire country due to your one experience is just ignorant
