Compared to other Rius the resort it self had nothing to do especially for a palace. The rooms were nothing compared to other Riu Palaces, no swim outs, no nice view, only 3 pools for the whole place, only 4 restaurants, no sport bar, I can go on and on about how bad this place was. 3/10

I like how the staff were ready to help. I misplaced my foundation and reported it to the manager. He promised me to look into it. When I got home I saw it and called like about two times before I could talk to the same manager that I found what I thought was lost. I am satisfied with the hotel staff. There was no bad experiences. Having said that I noticed that I saw a cockroach and fly in the room, that can be fixed. A staff asked if I was coming back again and I said YES! I love the place and I can recommend it to anyone. Thank you for keeping us safe!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

2 out of 5 stars The only reason this isn’t a one-star review is because the beach was absolutely beautiful. That said, everything else fell short of expectations. We were extremely disappointed with how the staff treated us depending on whether or not we tipped—or even if they assumed we wouldn’t. This is marketed as an all-inclusive resort, yet we felt pressured to tip constantly: every meal, every drink, housekeeping, and pretty much any interaction. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere that overshadowed what should have been a relaxing experience. The room was another letdown. As a so-called family resort, the space was shockingly small for a family of four. With two toddlers (ages 3 and 4), it felt cramped and stressful any time we were in the room. Definitely not designed with young families in mind. We won’t be returning. The beach isn’t enough to make up for everything else.

We had a wonderful time at Riu Tropical Bay Negril! The beach is the most beautiful beach that we have ever seen and we live in Southern California! Only negatives were the women’s restroom always smelled like sewer and there was some deferred maintenance around the property. Staff was nice, especially when tipped. Need to update some of the restaurants and menu items. Also, went to the other Riu property and found it to be much more up to date, but the beach at Tropical bay was far superior!
