We just returned from a 4 day trip. I have travelled extensively around the world and the Caribbean. I am an avid tripadvisor reader and was quite honestly concerned about our trip based on some of the reviews. This was my 8th trip to Negril. We typically stay at Couples Swept Away. Rest assumed if you have booked a trip... More

I have been back a week and I wish I could rewind the clock. We had the BEST time!!!! We stayed in room 2112 (partial ocean view) we expected full ocean view and wanted to change our room but we stayed and didn't make a big deal. The beach is the BEST!!! Just as nice as the beaches in Hawaii.... More

I stayed here with my husband for a fortnight in September 2012, it was our third time to Jamaica and our second stay at the Riu Palace Tropical Bay. The beach here is absolutely beautiful with soft white sand and the sea is clear and warm with quite a few fish swimming around. The staff are friendly and helpful; we... More

We stayed in on the 3rd Floor of Building 4, in an ocean view room. The room was nice, everything was clean. On the negitive side, we didn’t have air conditioning the first night. We were told it was due to rolling black outs, and it would be back on before long. After a humid night of non-sleep, we inquired... More
