Paid for double beds and was only given a king size. Staff lied and said they would work something out but never did. Rooms outdated. Staff professionalism overall was okay. Food was poor besides the jerk hunt and restaurants. Definitely will not be returning.

So if you’re looking for entertainment this is the place to be. The food is decent. Some days have better options. The jerk chicken hut is good. I do like that everything is close by to each other we didn’t have to walk far from one place to another. Again is a turn up Resort so don’t expect quietness. However the room service was horrible we got our room cleaned in our 4th day there and only got towel exchange our 1st day. We did have a great time bc we came to party and to be entertained.

Overall review
Excellent entertainment performance day and night from live band, dance performances, games and theatre stage. A variety of food stations at breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets to satisfy all our taste buds. Buffet ranged from local Jamaican cuisine, American, Italian, Asian, Chinese, Mediterranean, grilled fishes, carvery, various delicious desserts, fresh range of juices and smoothies and fruits. I did not watch the entire theatre night performance but my family commented that it was world class. You can also walk 3 mins to Riu Montego bay next door from lunch time to attend the night club or to switch activities. However, Riu raggae was equipped with activities, performances and food. The beach, jerk hut, swim up pool bars, swimming pools, riu water sport centre, restaurants, indoor and outdoor bars and spa were in close proximity of the room, which was a plus. If you want to be close to the restaurants including buffet, choose the tropical garden view.

My first experience here was in 2017, it was great this experience was terrible I did not have a blanket and froze when I returned to my room everyday no blanket was in the closet …sheets were never changed. Reservations for restaurants should be transparent and made during check in. The air went out one day so my room was hot. The massage in spa was the best. This resort needs to be rehabbed upgraded rooms are poor quality.

There’s little food to eat after dinner I think it should be open 24 hours so you can eat 7-11 breakfast 12-5 lunch 6:30-10 or 11 dinner after franks nachos chili veggie patties, popcorn sandwiches. Pool close at 6pm WHY and it’s a swim up bar so you start drinking around 9am beach is open at your own risk after 6pm

I stayed at the Riu Reggae for four days and three nights. Upon arrival, I was greeted with a rum punch and a warm, friendly welcome from the staff, which set a great tone for the trip. Rooms: The room was clean but very bare-bones—only the essentials. If you like fancy décor, plush bedding, and a soft mattress, this is not the place for you. The mattress was rock hard, and when I asked for a blanket, I received a very thin one. The overall feel was functional but far from luxurious. Vibe: This is absolutely a party hotel. There are lots of young people having a great time, with nonstop entertainment and music. If you love to party, you’ll be in heaven. If you want peace and quiet, you’ll have to actively seek it out—there is a quieter pool on the property where you can relax, which I really appreciated. Some of my travel companions had late-night noise issues with neighbors throwing loud parties in their rooms. Food & Dining: The buffet was delicious, and the steakhouse was also excellent. No complaints there—the food was a highlight. Other Things to Note: • If you book a “double room,” be aware this means two people, not two beds. Some people in my group ended up having to share a bed despite paying for a double. • There’s a one-towel-per-person-per-day policy for the pool/beach.

Hello i just recently stayed at this property and everything was good besides the front desk staff. The front staff particularly the women that were there on the 17th of July really needs to work on their professionalism. They were really rude checking in and out. I scheduled a double room and when I got there at 4:00 and had to wait an additonal hour and a half for my two beds when it is what I reserved. The Akee Staff was extremely pleasant and Kadijah and Desmond were rock stars

I want to start this review by saying to like the RIU brand resorts. I typically stay with them when traveling because they are moderately priced for nice accommodations. So this is just my experience at the RIU Reggae in Montego Bay, Jamaica. For context, I’ve been to at least 6 or 7 times and have always stayed on a resort. Most of the times I stayed at either RIU Montego Bay (my favorite 😍), RIU Palace or RIU Negril resorts. This was my first time at RIU Reggae. I wanted to try this one because I heard good things about it and it was one of the newer RIU resorts of the Montego Bay set. The staff were nice. Of course the entertainers spend a lot of time throughout the day being great and welcoming and their performances were amazing. The crowd, like other vacationers, not so much. Talk about bland, like they were forced to be there. It was so crazy to see. Lol. There were a few people, of course, who were hype and were fun but the overall the crowd was not my level enjoyment at all. The other staff were ok, they spoken when spoken to but nothing beyond that obligation. There were a few who were very welcoming and initiated in normal chit chat. We arrived an hour or so before check in and they were able to accommodate an early check in, which was greatly appreciated until we saw the room. We opted for a “garden view” because most of our time would be spent outside and didn’t care, until we saw it was over the driveway 😩. Never in my life have I ever been placed over

I wish they would allow guest to bring food to their rooms being there’s no room service you find yourself constantly sitting in a cafeteria style buffet feeling like you're in high school all over again. Decent peppery rooms kind of small hated my balcony was facing other balconies do no privacy. Food was good. Kind of boring and lacked entertainment at times but overall definitely would call it a party hotel. Not bad but probably won’t return. Front desk could benefit from training regarding professionalism and attitude.

One downside was that they didn’t provide makeup wipes or designated rags for makeup removal, so I was charged for makeup stains on the sheets and face towels which I didn’t appreciate. That aside, my overall experience was a solid 4.5 out of 5.

This is the loudest hotel I've ever stayed in. The noise was inescapable. There's loud music all day—you can't relax or read a book. I literally paid a staff member to turn the music down. The guests are mostly drunk, loud, obnoxious Americans. The food was so-so. A few good dishes here and there, bust mostly mediocre. There's a constant shortage of towels, both by the pool and in the hotel itself. Guard your towel with your life. The dining and pool staff were mostly lovely. We had a few cranky staff members, but you can't win 'em all. I won't be returning.

We’ve been to Jamaica before and absolutely loved it, mainly bc of how fun and friendly the staff was. This was not the case at this resort. Some were very rude. If you don’t have cash on hand (while in your bath suit) be prepared to be ignored or scowled at. The one time I did bring cash down to tip, it was stolen within the hour. And the cleanliness was not great at all.
