We had a long wait at the airport for luggage so was lovely to be ushered straight to our rooms when we arrived. The rooms were gorgeous an so clean, could not... more

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the RTB and had a great time. We were really concerned regarding some of the reviews before we went but most of these proved to be unfounded. We had previously booked a Suite and I emailed ahead to ask for one in one of the new blocks. When we arrived she... more

Stayed here the week of June 23rd. I have been to several all inclusive resorts in the carribbean and have paid much more for a shorter stay so I thought that for five nights we received a great deal. We stayed in an older room #3207 and it did have a slight musty smell but a fairly decent room. We... more

After reading the previous review by "Jillian30", I must say our experience was much the same! My husband and I took our 24 yr. old daugher and her husband, along with our 17 yr. old son. True, the trip in the bus to the resort is crazy compared to driving in the U.S., but was interesting to see some of... more

Riu Tropical Bay – horrible vacation My husband and I stayed at RIU Tropical Bay 6/16 – 6/20. We read the reviews and were very comfortable picking this resort. What a mistake. Room 1 – 3216. When we arrived (Monday) we were assigned room 3216. If you get this room, you will want to do whatever you can to avoid... more

My husband and I traveled to Jamaica June 7 - 14. Overall, we had a great time. Flying into Montego Bay, we were in the last row of the plane....if you're in the back of a plane, be prepared to wait awhile at customs at the airport. It took us almost an hour to get through and it's very muggy... more

We stayed May 30th thru June 7th. What a wonderful trip. We were upgraded to an ocean front Junior Suit in Bldg 6. Fantastic view and very nice room. We never smelled any offensive odors during our stay. The beach is fantastic, clean and great for sunbathing. We had a group of 14, some of us have been to Jamaica... more
