Riu Ochos Rios
 

Has anyone stayed at this resort. Not too many postings...thinking about visitig in May 2006...thanks

Go to tripadvisor.com for reviews.
There are better choices.

May 2007, right?

I've stayed their, good value for your money.

Given that my husband & I have to stay at this all inclusive for an upcoming friends wedding, do you have any hints on particular room/area to request that is beachfront & not too close to club(s), kid-filled pools etc? I've also read some about musty rooms etc. Any hints you have would be appreciated!

Hi...My sister and I just came back from staying at the Riu in Ocho Rios.
Overall, it was good. Our room was decent although it had a little musty smell to it. The beach was very nice... plenty of chairs. Everything in the hotel was kept pretty clean.
The food could've been a little better. We stayed there a week and menu didn't change very much. The fruit served was great though. I will most likely come back..
I've also stayed at the Riu in Negril, which was very similar.
Have fun on your trip!

I don't know about the Riu but I stayed right beside it at Sandals Dunns River and it was beautiful....no musty smell in the room, food was excellent...Had a wonderful week...worth the money
