Booked vacation through Apple Vacations from a travel agent. The hotel was advertised as a 5 star hotel through Apple Vacations. We were under the impression that it was going to be great to stay there based on the information that was provided from the Travel Agent. When we arrived at the hotel and got our room we were on... more

Badly disappointed from the word go.Had specified a room that was quiet and off the ground floor due to the insect life that tended to visit the room when it... more

We were at the RTB Resort in Negril from 6-30-08 thru 7-4-08 and it was the best time ever. We were somewhat anxious due some of the negative reviews we read here on Tripadvisor. None of the negative reviews were our experience, quite the opposite. Do not let any of the negative reviews stop you from going to this resort.... more

Negril is 1.5 hours from the airport in an air conditioned bus. You get to see a bit of the countryside on the way. It is worth the trip. We stayed at the Riu Tropical Bay for 2 weeks. We are a family with two 14 year olds. The hotel caters more to young adults, honeymooners, and not so many... more

Room was exceptional, very clean, spacious and the maids did a great job. Check in was fast and easy and really set the tone for the rest... more

My wife and I booked this trip for our 11th Anniversary with great expectations in mind. However, we were dissappointed beyond belief to say the least. When we arrived at... more

Tennessee- Loved the beach @ RTB Resort July 10, 2008 I hadn't decided to write a review until we returned home and discovered something was wrong with my husbands cologne. He was putting on his cologne one night and asked me to smell of it, well I did it smelled soured & stinky kind of like the water in Jamaica.... more
