6/10
Eleven of us stayed at the Riu Aquarelle for 4 nights for a family vacation.
The pros: Staff was very friendly, rooms were clean and comfortable. The maid service was great as well as the mini bar service. The splash pad was great for the little kids ages 1-7. The Italian Restaurant was good. The breakfast buffet was good. Be careful on the big slides at the water park. My son got a deep bruise on his heel; so keep your feet up. The entertainment at the family pool every afternoon was fun.
Now the cons: The beach was not great. It was windy and red flag every day we were there, so no water sports. When you enter the water, it is very rocky and one in our group stepped on a sea urchin so be careful. The food at all the restaurants was mediocre with the exception of the Italian one, which was better. Group reservations were terrible, They never even answered my message from Wednesday morning about a group reservation for Thursday night. The Cappachino bar doesn’t open until 10am, which is crazy! The Elevators are overcrowded and hard to catch at times. The other thing is that the wine is not very good, and even at the nice restaurants there is no opportunity to purchase better bottles. In addition, at the Steakhouse restaurant, we were only allowed to order one side each. That’s not what I would consider “all-inclusive.” My husband ordered his ribeye medium rare and it came out well done.
We’ve been to Jamaica 13 times. This was our first & last time at a Riu.
