I really enjoyed this Riu hotel the staff was extremely friendly and so accommodating. The food was great at the buffet and other restaurants. The pool/beach was really great and you can bounce back from either all day. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a chill vibe in Jamaica and the staff was really friendly and amazing.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Drinks, bartenders, servers and buffet were good. Out of the restaurants only one worthwhile is the steakhouse. Kyoto-bad service and food was subpar. Took them 40 minutes to bring us our ice cream. Next time would just do buffet and steakhouse. Entertainment was great-Jamaican show and Michael Jackson were amazing. Riu party was a waste of time(travel time close to 2 hours) and rarely any reggae music. Beautiful rooms and views.

Overall our stay was alright--we mentioned before we arrived that it was our anniversary on the 20th--they said they would make note--I mentioned it when we arrived--they said they would make note--nothing special was done on the 20th like they said they would do-that was disappointing--our room had an ocean view but the balcony had a white cement wall blocking the view that our kids could not even see over--thousands of other rooms had glass walls to enjoy the ocean view--this was disappointing--and our king size bedroom was in the room with no windows are view whatsoever and we were the ones paying for the room--our kids got the room with the balcony--this was disappointing. WE found certain staff around the resort to be short, cold, and rude whereas many others were very sweet and accommodating. For the price we paid--the experience did not match.

Great entertainment and lots to do for kids. Beach was very rocky and you had to walk to another resort to enjoy swimming. Checking in we had lots of problems. Had to ask multiple times for blankets and waited until after midnight to get them the first night. Rooms are small. Food is mediocre.

Great property, loved the entertainment and beach. Make sure to bring cash to tip the waiters since there’s no atm maxing on the property. I loved how hassle free everything was with no effort to constantly upsell me something like in other all inclusive resorts.

My family and I stayed at RIU Palace Aquarelle for four nights, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The white sand beaches were absolutely stunning, offering crystal-clear waters and plenty of space to relax. The pools were impeccably clean, and we especially enjoyed the swim-up bar, where we indulged in unlimited cocktails while soaking in the sun. The resort’s dining options exceeded our expectations, with a variety of cuisines to choose from. Every meal was fresh and flavorful, and the quality of the food stood out, especially the local Jamaican dishes. We never ran out of things to do, thanks to the top-notch entertainment shows—the highlight being the Michael Jackson “King of Pop” tribute, which was truly a must-see performance. Overall, RIU Palace Aquarelle provided a perfect mix of relaxation and fun for our family. From the friendly staff to the luxurious amenities, it was a vacation we’ll never forget, and we would absolutely return!

I will make a disclaimer that I was looking for a restful vacation, so this may not have been the best choice for me. The check-in staff were a bit distracted as the lobby was crowded and chaotic and rooms were not ready. My first room was right near the DJ pool and kiddy pool. I got no rest my first night there. The staff was very accommodating and moved me to the other side of the hotel, which actually had a much better ocean view. I finally found the quiet end of the beach, only to have a family, where one of the guys was actually sporting a mullet, start blasting country music, waking me up out of my beach sleep. There was no staff on the beach so there was nothing to deter them except my dirty look and angry glare. The food in the buffet area was excellent. I was mixed on the gourmet restaurant: the appetizer and desert were not great, but the beef was amazing! It is a new resort so the facilities were spotless. I do not think, however, that the marble-like tile on the outside paths was a good idea. When it rained or if you were wet from the beach it was super hazardous. I witnessed a fall and nearly fell a few times myself. Like I said, this wasn't a good choice for me, but if you like your resorts rowdy with pool bubbles, loud DJs, and typical shenanigans, this would be a great place for you!
