Get ready to be dazed and amazed! While always a customer favorite, there’s even more to love now about Riu Negril. This 24/7 all-inclusive reopened its doors in December 2024 after a complete renovation to its rooms, pools, restaurants, and bars, and added new onsite entertainment options including Riu Party! Even guests staying at the nearby Riu Palace Tropical Bay can join in the fun with full exchange privileges!

Location, Location, Location

Your clients will love the premier location on Negril’s Bloody Bay beach, known for its white sands, clear waters, and coral reefs, making it ideal for snorkeling, scuba diving, and even kayaking. They can relax to the max with a laid-back vibe and at dusk, they’ll be awed as they watch the sun paint the sky over the vast horizon.

Brand New and Fully Renovated Restaurants and Bars

Repeat visitors will notice a fresh look to the main buffet, which features three themed dinners weekly, and the Asian, Italian, Steakhouse, and gourmet dinner restaurants.

NEW dining options include:

  • American Country, serves up American-style comfort dishes and features pool tables and sports event broadcasts for down-home fun
  • The exclusive Kulinarium Restaurant –  à la carte culinary experience for gourmet dining
  • Grill Pepe’s Food – casual lunchtime buffet featuring grilled dishes and cold snacks
  • Tiki Taco Taqueria – buffet-style taco station lunch

Tropical concoctions can be enjoyed at the swim-up bar, beach bar, lobby bar, Plaza bar, and Reggae Hall, along with the American Country sports bar open 24/7.

Guestrooms That Wow

Nearly 600 rooms have been redesigned, featuring a sleek, contemporary style that blends comfort and elegance. New room categories include Swim Out Double Rooms and Suites. The modern and spacious family suites provide plenty of room for everyone, designed with thoughtful touches for a stress-free stay.

Be Pampered, Relax, or Enjoy Round-the-Clock Entertainment

Guests can dive in and make a splash in the completely revamped pool areas, featuring five pools including one just for kids. Guests of all ages will have a blast at Riu Get Together Parties, the latest themed RIU entertainment concept that brings even more vibrant energy right to the resort! And that’s on top of daily sports and activities and live nightly entertainment that provides fun for all, all the time. After a busy day, stress melts away at the Renova Spa where guests arespoiled with wellness treatments, a sauna, Jacuzzi®, and more.
