Definitely not 4/5* hotel. Will not recommend to anyone.
After previously staying twice in the Riu Tropical Palace Negril we had high expectations as the hotel in Ocho Rios is advertised as 4/5*.We were very disappointed from the start. Check in was lacking in welcome, no porter available. Initially the room appeared ok but not 4/5*, after a couple of days there was a musty smell and clothes felt damp. On closer inspection it was shabby. Food in the buffet was poor, often cold, very repetitive, it felt like a school refectory. A la carte is seriously underwhelming, in the Italian restaurant the food was actually worse than the buffet. Staff were often surly and rude, although a few were very pleasant and helpful. Cleaning staff were very good. The hotel was very busy, noisy and bustling more like an airport or train station. No where to escape to a quiet peaceful space. The beach was ok but sunbeds often in poor condition, no nice long tranquil walk along the beach. Check out was poor, again no pleasantries. I will not be recommending this hotel to anyone.

Great spot!
What a beautiful resort with lots to do. It was a long drive but worth it. We found out you could take a private transport so did that on the way back. Lots of food options, even for those that are plant based. Had a great time and would highly recommend this resort.

Concern
Nice location and lots of varieties of food to choose from, entertainment good. Re the rooms there should be a sign saying watch your steps. One of my friends visits my room and was not aware there is a step there and almost fall. Next thing the rain was falling and blow in the passage. Lots of water was there for a long time before is was mop up. This is very dangerous for your visitors. One suggestion, you could put some plastic blinds which can be roll down and up so when it rain at least water would be in the passage way. This my first visit and will come back

Another great holiday
This is our 2nd visit here & although there were a lot of changes from our previous visit we were not disappointed. The only criticism I have about the beach is possibly to have a small table & ash trays as I found that there was loads of cigarette stubs in the sand. The restaurants were great especially Dt Anne’s with lots of choices, but one thing annoyed me was the meat & tuna was always frozen as the tray was not raised above the ice which I mentioned to a member of staff who just shrugged her shoulders.
