Jamaica for Sun-Seekers and First-Timers

The laid-back lilt of Jamaica is at its best on the fabulous beaches of Montego Bay, where a pair of modern, all-inclusive Riu Resorts boast a diverse array of activities and amenities to make your Jamaican vacation dreams sizzle like the Caribbean sun.

Riu Reggae

Opening directly onto a palm-fringed white-sand beach along a sheltered cove on Mahoe Bay, Riu Reggae is an adults-only playground with a fun vibe, welcoming staff, and fantastic service. By all means, you can relax – loungers are everywhere, around the pool, under the swaying trees, on the warm sands. The most fun really is in the water, be it the two infinity swimming pools (one with swim-up bar) or the shimmering Caribbean itself.

Rec Room

Take an included introductory scuba diving lesson in the pool, or just wade over to the swim-up bar for a cool cocktail. Or gear up for windsurfing, catamaran, snorkeling, and kayaking in the cerulean waters of the sea. Atone for all that recreation later at Renova Spa, a luxurious relaxation oasis where massages, soothing therapies, and body and facial treatments are delivered by experienced therapists in three single cabins or a special double cabin. You can also unwind with a massage at the spa's exclusive beach pavilion.

After sitting down to superb Asian, Italian, and steakhouse cuisine for dinner, head over to any of the four bars or dance the night away at Pacha disco (at the neighboring Riu Montego Bay). Retreat to breezy guest rooms, suites, and junior suites with contemporary pastel accents, opening to private balconies or terraces with sweet garden or sea views.

Riu Montego Bay

The entire family grooves to energetic activities at the all-inclusive Riu Montego Bay, set right next door from Riu Reggae. Fronting an extraordinary stretch of dazzling white-sand beach, this hotel was designed and created in perfect harmony with the architecture of Jamaica, and surrounded by ten acres of lush gardens. There are games and entertainment for the kids, peace and relaxation for the parents, and sand and sunshine for all.

Family Style

Step into guest rooms with traditional style and private balconies or terraces, including spacious Family Suites with one king and two double beds. Dining begins with a full American breakfast buffet and live cooking stations, and continues with lunch at hot and cold buffets and live cooking stations; pizzas, pasta, salads and assorted desserts, and a jerk (traditional Jamaican barbecue) station. BTW, snacks are available 24/7. Dinner features buffets and live cooking stations, plus buffet choices at "Kalú" Asian restaurant and à la carte dining at "Little Italy" Italian restaurant and "Mahoe Bay" Steakhouse.

Dive into sailing, swimming, snorkeling, diving, and kayaking, and drop the kids at RiuLand, which offers a full program of activities for younger guests as well as a playground and game room. Rejuvenate with massage therapies at Renova Spa. After dark, there's entertainment and live music for the grown-ups, plus the sizzling Pacha disco.
