RIU Palace Tropical Bay, Negril, Jamaica
June 2024 Family Summer Vacation
A lively stay with a step-up in comfort
Why This Trip Matters:
This trip gave me a chance to experience one of RIU’s upgraded “Palace” properties—offering a higher level of comfort while still keeping that fun, social vibe.
What Made It Special:
- Beautiful Negril beachfront location
- A step up in accommodations and dining compared to standard RIU resorts
- A lively, welcoming atmosphere
My Experience:
RIU Palace Tropical Bay offered a great balance—more polished than some value resorts, but still energetic and fun. The beach in Negril is always a highlight, and this location really delivers with calm water and incredible sunsets.
Why It Matters for My Clients:
There aren’t many family-friendly all-inclusive options in Negril, which makes this a great alternative—especially if Beaches Negril is outside of budget.
It’s a strong option for families who want that Seven Mile Beach experience without the higher price point.
