Visited the RIU with a small group of family members from 7/31-8/4. Arrived and elected to have a private transport to the resort and decided to use Lee's Travel. They had excellent reviews on this site and deservedly so.......the driver was very good....as was the Rum Punch and Red Stripes!!! Elected to stop on the way for lunch at one... more

The reservation process was exceptional. I used NWA World Vacations and the young lady that answered the phone was a great help. She stayed on the phone with me for a good portion of an hour to ensure she answered every question with the upmost of professionalism and politeness. My family and I have travelled to several locations around the... more

I stayed at the Riu from July 23, 2008 to July 29, 2008. It is one of the nicest resorts I have ever had the pleasure of staying at. The staff is wonderful and full of life. They also want to make sure that you are enjoying your stay there as well. Our room was beautiful. We stayed in the... more

I don't ever want to have a connecting flight again. This was due to the bad weather but they... more

I went to the Riu Ocho Rios from June 20 – 27. As the only other all inclusive resort I have ever been to was Couples Swept Away (CSA from here on out) in Negril, I will compare it to that. I feel this is more than fair considering CSA claims four star status and the Riu claims five star... more

My Family and i spent two very good weeks at the Riu Ocho Rios from 7th July to the 21st. We went with Thomson and upgraded to Premium. Although this was very nice and included an extra 4 inches of seat pitch on the flight, i'd probably not bother to pay the extra £200 each it cost in future. Once... more
