    Good vacation spot for families

    We spent 6 days at RIU Ocho Rios, 4 adults and 2 kids (4 years old). Had a really great time. The resort has activities for both adults and kids. The water park and indoor play areas are a hit with the kids. Food was good, nice variety. We went just after Christmas and broke in the New Year there so it was very busy with lots of people, but overall it was an enjoyable stay and we would definitely visit again.

    Take the family!

    The Hotel was a refurbished a few years ago and the new look is fantastic. Great sea views all around, plenty of pools to relax by, spacious beach, fantastic entertainment for all the family, new water park for the young at heart, activities for all ages, bars, restaurants parties, I can go on for a long time. The staff are brilliant, rooms cleaned every day and mini bars refilled every 3 days or less if needed. Excursions can be arranged onsite, plenty of taxis always available but cheaper to use local services if you’re familiar with Jamaica as whole. Transactions are accepted in USD,JMD more than any other currency. Plenty of places to exchange money and at reception of the hotel. Travel representatives are onsite most days (esp Mon- Fri) for any additional services. A safe environment for young children, plenty of disabled access to all facilities and extra assistance provided upon request for those who need it. My last trip had 52 people in the group. Youngest aged 1, oldest 66 years old. Some were mobility impaired but all had a happy experience and did not miss out on any activities. Family, friends and partners. Every family trip gets bigger as more people want to join in as we always come home knowing it was worth the trip. Previous holiday had 32 people. We all want to go back! Next holiday already being planned. Great overall for families, couples, weddings, girls/ lad’s holiday but best of all a great location to relax, enjoy Jamaica, the people, culture, music, food, parties and maybe you might also spot a celebrity like we did!!

    Services provided by workers were beyond expectations they did a wonderful job overall.

    This trip was for our anniversary which was well spent at your location. However a more modern touch to the rooms would be a plus.
