International

RIU Hotels & Resorts recently finished the refurbishment of the Riu Negril, the All Inclusive resort that was built in 2004 on the beachfront at Bloody Bay in Negril, Jamaica.

This attractive 5-star hotel, which offers both relaxation and fun, now has 600 fully refurbished rooms and new services such as the “American Country” themed restaurant and RIU Party events.

In addition to the renovated rooms and suites, the hotel now has 28 swim-up rooms for guests who want to enjoy a private pool during their holiday. The hotel’s new bright and simple interior features furniture with simple lines and a selection of natural and soft colours. Guests will be surprised by the brand-new lobby with a tropical and welcoming design, including vegetation and wood and stone elements that evoke the nature and warmth of Jamaica.

The hotel has a total of eight restaurants, three of which are new: the “American Country” themed restaurant, “Pepe's food” and the “Tiki Taco” taco station for lovers of delicious Mexican cuisine. What’s more, the hotel has added two new spaces for events and conferences.

As for entertainment, the hotel now has five refitted swimming pools: one for water activities, a quiet pool, one for general use, one especially for children and one with a new water bar, which brings the hotel’s total number of bars to six. What’s more, the hotel has installed three pickleball courts, where our active guests can enjoy this increasingly popular sport. Guests will also be able to have the time of their lives with the arrival of the Riu Party events. Every Thursday from 19 December, guests of all ages at the Riu Negril and Riu Palace Tropical Bay will be able to enjoy the acclaimed Neon Party or White Party events in the hotel's theatre.

Thanks to the incredible natural surroundings, Bloody Bay is the ideal spot to relax and unwind on the beach or enjoy water sports such as kayaking, surfing, sailing or diving. Hotel guests can also take a trip to nearby attractions such as the hot springs at Rhodes Hall Plantation, Seven Mile Beach, The Great Morass and Roaring River.

RIU arrived in Jamaica in 2001 when it opened the Riu Palace Tropical Bay in Negril. This first hotel was followed by the Riu Negril and three more destinations: Montego Bay with the Riu Montego Bay, Riu Palace Jamaica and Riu Reggae; Ocho Ríos with the Riu Ocho Rios; and Falmouth with the Riu Palace Aquarelle. The hotel chain offers a whole host of options including luxurious RIU Palace establishments and hotels with a livelier, more family-oriented atmosphere. RIU currently has a total of 4,274 rooms in its seven hotels in Jamaica, consolidating its position as one of the leading international chains in the country.
