Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Riu Ocho Rios
Mammee Bay Rd., Ocho Rios, St. Ann, Jamaica
This sprawling resort, built in two U-shape wings each overlooking a pool, is one of the largest in Jamaica. Rooms are generously sized and well maintained, although there are long walks to public areas. All rooms come with an all-inclusive package, but suites include such extras as 24-hour concierge service. In-room amenities include daily-stocked minibars, liquor dispensers, and private balconies. There's a separate waterpark with slides and a special pool just for kids. There are seven restaurants, many of which can get crowded, and a buffet that serves three meals daily in a massive dining hall.
PROS
- lots of places to eat
- large rooms
- expansive beach
CONS
- long walk to beach
- restaurants can get crowded
- some rooms show signs of wear
