RIU’s Legacy in Jamaica

RIU Hotels & Resorts first entered Jamaica in 2001 with the Riu Palace Tropical Bay in Negril. Since then, the chain has expanded to include seven properties across the island, with a total of 4,274 rooms in destinations like Montego Bay, Ocho Ríos, and Falmouth. The chain caters to a range of travelers, offering both luxury and family-friendly accommodations.

The reopening of the Riu Negril reaffirms RIU’s commitment to delivering exceptional vacation experiences while maintaining its position as a leading international hotel chain in Jamaica.
