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 clus), 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
