Diverse Culinary Options

“I was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of dining choices at Riu Ocho Rios. For breakfast, I often opted for the main buffet, St. Anne's, which offered an very nice selection of fresh fruit, cooked options, and an omelette station. I also enjoyed the quieter atmosphere of the Italian restaurant for breakfast, where I could sip coffee with a lovely sea view. The specialty restaurants were a treat too, especially the Italian, where I indulged in exquisite fillet steaks and seafood linguine. Each meal was a good culinary adventure.” view full review

Comfortable, Well-Equipped Rooms

“Our room was clean and well-appointed, featuring a mini bar stocked with rum, vodka, and beer. The easy-to-use coffee machine was a fantastic perk, providing better coffee than I found at the bars. With a large walk-in shower and a safe in the ample wardrobe, I felt right at home. Plus, having a balcony overlooking the beautiful grounds was a lovely touch, perfect for enjoying the fresh air during the day.” view full review

Fun Water Park

“The on-site water park was a highlight for my family! It featured various slides suitable for all ages. The separate areas for little ones and thrilling slides for adults ensured everyone had fun. My children spent hours sliding and splashing around, making it a nice part of our vacation. It was a great way to keep them entertained while enjoying the resort.” view full review

Relaxing Infinity Pools

“The two infinity pools at the resort were a perfect escape for relaxation. Positioned on a quieter side, these pools were ideal for those looking to unwind, with stringent rules ensuring a peaceful atmosphere. I loved lounging by the swim-up bar, sipping cocktails while taking in the stunning views of the ocean. The cleanliness and attention to detail at the pool areas added to my enjoyment, making every visit a pleasure.” view full review

I had a great time at this hotel, with clean and spacious rooms offering lovely views of the gardens and pool. The entertainment area was right outside, making it convenient for evening activities. However, some aspects of the dining experience were underwhelming with limited variety, and the service could use a little improvement. Overall, the resort provided good value for a winter getaway, and the beach was stunning, but not perfect for those seeking pristine sand.

We had an enjoyable stay at the resort, appreciating the scenic beach and nice pools.
