We are going to Jamaica in May and have booked at the Riu in Ocho Rios. We are now trying to decide if we want to stay there or Grand Palladium in Montego Bay. Has anyone stayed at both or either and can give some reciews on either one?
Re: Jamaica
We just went to Ocho Rios a month ago... we stayed right door to the RIU there... at The Jewel Dunn's River.(smaller than RIU- but amazing staff, great food, etc)
It was great! blue water, palm trees, great weather.... we were only there for 4 days, so we just hung around the resort. but we had such a great time!! we could see the RIU from our room, and it looked really nice, too. We could see peopel getting oceanside massages and taking out the hoby cat sailboats :-)
I guess the one thing to know about ocho rios is that its about 1 1/2- 2 hours from the airport. it wasn't a bad ride though. the van driver gave us all kinds of little "tidbits" of info along the way so i just looked at it as a mini guided tour rather than "ugh! this hotel is sooo far from the airport!!"
I'm thinking no matter where you stay, you'll have a GREAT time!! Jamaica is beautiful!
A few of my friends just got back from the Riu in Ocho and they loved it, they didn't have any complaints.
Thanks for this information. We have not changed our reservations as of yet, we have until the 15th of April. When are you going to be there in May? We are also going in May
