Try to avoid booking one of the 10 rooms positioned immediately above the dining area; these don't have balconies and may be noisy.
Concierge "While a similar sense of merriment pervades all of the chain's resorts, including the more relaxed Negril property, this one parties hardest."
Fodor's "The largest private beach in Montego Bay is the highlight of this Sandals—one of the most popular upscale resorts in the Caribbean." Full review
Star Service "This is the original all-inclusive resort for couples in love—no children, no singles allowed." Full review

Choose the Riu over any other older property in town thanks to lively recreational areas and a pretty, but small, beach.

Lonely Planet "The Riu is enormous, as is the list of amenities: three restaurants, windsurfing, sailing, snorkeling, diving, catamarans, nightclub, golf course, horseback riding etc." Full review
