RIU Hotels & Resorts recently finished the refurbishment of the Riu Negril, a beachfront all-inclusive resort, built in 2004 at Bloody Bay in Negril, Jamaica. This hotel now has 600 fully refurbished rooms and new services such as the “American Country”-themed restaurant and RIU Party events.
In addition to the renovated rooms and suites, the hotel now has 28 swim-up rooms for guests who want to enjoy a private pool. The hotel’s new bright and simple interior includes furniture with simple lines and a selection of natural and soft colors. There is also a brand-new lobby with a tropical design, including vegetation, wood and stone elements.
As for entertainment, the hotel now has five refitted swimming pools: one for water activities, a quiet pool, one for general use, one especially for children and one with a new water bar, which brings the hotel’s total number of bars to six. What’s more, the hotel has installed three pickleball courts. Guests will also be able to experience the RIU Party events. Every Thursday from December 19, guests of all ages at the Riu Negril and Riu Palace Tropical Bay will be able to enjoy the Neon Party or White Party events in the hotel's theater.
Bloody Bay is an ideal spot to relax and unwind on the beach or enjoy water sports such as kayaking, surfing, sailing or diving. Hotel guests can also take a trip to nearby attractions such as the hot springs at Rhodes Hall Plantation, Seven Mile Beach, The Great Morass and Roaring River.
RIU arrived in Jamaica in 2001 when it opened the Riu Palace Tropical Bay in Negril. This first hotel was followed by the Riu Negril and three more destinations: Montego Bay with the Riu Montego Bay, Riu Palace Jamaica and Riu Reggae; Ocho Ríos with the Riu Ocho Rios; and Falmouth with the Riu Palace Aquarelle. RIU currently has a total of 4,274 rooms in its seven hotels in Jamaica.
