RIU Ocho Rios ★★★★★

Just minutes from town, but nicely removed from the hustle and bustle, the freshly renovated RIU Ocho Rios is separated into two large wings, each with its own pool and tropical landscaping. The Main Wing has over 500 guest rooms, as well as restaurants and bars and the Deluxe Wing features 341 suites, as well as three exclusive restaurants.

“After undergoing major renovations in 2019, the newly re-imagined Riu Ocho Rios features modernized guestrooms and facilities and a lively family friendly atmosphere, all in a gorgeous beachfront setting in Ocho Rios. The hotel is large and caters to weddings and bigger groups, but you’ll never lack for lounge chairs on the pool and by the beach. The new beachside Jerk Chicken Station is sure to be a big hit, as are such family friendly favorites as the kids club and Splash Water World.” — Corina Benson, Maritime Travel agent and branch manager, Maritime Travel, Superstore @ Joe Howe, Halifax, NS
