Dear Expedia Family I wanted to share my experiences from our trip to Jamaica, which began on March 24th, 2025. Overall, it was quite an adventure! Our arrival at Montego Bay airport went smoothly around 3:30 PM. However, the taxi ride to Negril took three hours and 45 minutes, much longer than the anticipated one hour and 45 minutes due to Monday rush hour. RIU Tropical Bay was very welcoming. The buffet was consistently the best dining option throughout the week. Making reservations at the themed restaurants was challenging, but we managed to try the steakhouse and Japanese restaurants. Unfortunately, the food at both was subpar. The highlight for food was the Jerk shack, with fresh jerk chicken, sausage, and pork riblettes, which we enjoyed daily. The entertainment was spectacular, especially the steel band. Housekeeping was excellent, and the hotel was very clean. The beach was amazing, although there were many vendors. One disappointment was that some staff members had high expectations for tips. This was frustrating, especially at the steakhouse, where an employee got angry when we didn’t tip due to the poor food quality. Despite these issues, we plan to return. Next time, we'll stick with the buffet and Jerk shack and definitely visit Rick's Cafe, which we highly recommend. Best regards, Robert
