The Hotel Riu Palace Tropical Bay (All Inclusive 24h), is located at the famous Bloody Bay beach in Negril, Jamaica, one of the best resorts in the area par excellence. Its Victorian style inspires harmony and calmness surrounded by a 47,000 m2 garden.
There‘s no better way to relax than in a Riu Palace with all the options for relaxation it has to offer. The complex includes two fresh water swimming pools, a solarium terrace, gym, Jacuzzi, sauna, the “Renova Spa” wellness centre and a vast beach where you can sunbathe and enjoy a drink.
The 24h All Inclusive system gives you the opportunity to sample the best Jamaican cuisine prepared by our chefs for the buffet restaurant or the delicious menus in the themed restaurants: a wide variety to satisfy every palate.
We recommend you to try out the entertainment programme that the Riu Palace Tropical Bay has organised for all ages. For adults and children alike, there are endless activities to do as a family, couple or with friends. The complex includes two tennis courts, table tennis, a gym, volleyball, windsurfing, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking, bodyboarding, diving and other water activities. For the children, there is a playground near the beach and an entertainment programme where they can enjoy a range of activities with our entertainers. Jamaica harbours many secrets and wonderful places. You mustn’t miss excursions to the thermal springs of Rhodes, Hall Plantation, the crowded Seven Mile Beach, The Great Morass where you can see endemic birds and American crocodiles, or Roaring River, a cave where you can swim and see harmless bats. If you like to play golf, the Negril Hills course is perfect for enjoying a game. In Negril you can also go cycling through the hills which offer splendid photo opportunities. .
Fall in love with Negril and have your best holiday at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay.

Sep 12, 2026Family holiday
Went to this hotel last year with our grandson loved it so much went back this year with more of our family ages from 13 to 66 and can only say everyone loved it so much some are going back. Rooms clean and large need slight refresh, grounds beautiful, food ok always found something to eat lots of choice, staff always very helpful waiters couldn’t do enough for you I was also amazed breakfast buffet waiters actually remembered us could not believe it. Beach amazing sunset too, entertainment was great. Only one thing shop on site as we realised last year very expensive daughter forgot something a £2 item in uk £18 in the shop and single chocolate £6 so be aware. Apart from this great hotel.

Beautiful. Glad we upgraded to the tropical Palace
We stayed mid August for 11 nights. Booked thru Tui, yet had private transfers and never used any Tui service. Found the hotel to be relaxed and a great location. We asked to move from block 1 due to road noise and were moved the following day to block 3. 99% of staff friendly, good fun, one or 2 were bit grumpy but never rude! We were on UK hours so found booking the à la cartes early am no issue, having said that we enjoyed the buffet the most. Plenty of option and the staff were so lovely. Lifeguards and pool bar staff were great. Sometimes we watched the entertainments other evenings we played cards in bar, and sometimes we walked to Negril Riu hotel and enjoyed their entertainment. We got the free bus provided by Margaritaville one morning and the Uber back at £4! Don’t listen to the taxi man in reception who funnily enough knew nothing about the bus that arrived everyday in front of him but could offer u a 40$ taxi!! We also did a half day out with the Scuba onsite company and was good fun. Beautiful beach, sea and sunshine.

The best.
Our experience was fantastic as usual. Thanks to Shyma (sp) and her co-workers in her section of the buffet, as well as Michelle, who cooked great omelettes. Also a shout-out to our old buffet pals Damian, Derval and Twain. Special thanks to Michael at the front desk, as well as Julian, who was a great help. Kudos also to Leonardo and "The Big Guy" for keeping the grounds so clean. Also, can you help me remember the name of the beverage guy for 4216?...he's a super dude with a great personality, and he has a big laugh. Thanks again. See you next year.

One of the best in Negril.
I absolutely LOVE Tropical Bay. My family and I are repeat guests here. The beach- one of the best, and we travel a lot. Service is way above average. Buffet food is pretty decent and they vary quite a bit. Restaurants are hit or miss. We like the Steak House. The rest - nothing to write home about. Most importantly, you can get a really decent espresso in the morning (I'm a coffee snob) and plenty of drinks throughout the day. Special thanks to Julian , who really cares.
