RIU Palace Tropical Bay Family All Inclusive Resort Negril, Jamaica Tour

 
 
RIU Palace Tropical Bay is a family all inclusive resort near Negril, Jamaica. It was the first RIU resort in Jamaica and had major renovations last year. The resort does not have elevators. The resort has a beautiful beach and the same resorts you'll find at other Palace resorts. The resort looks huge from the road, but doesn't feel that big once inside. The rooms stretch along the beach so you aren't too far from the beach in any of the buildings. This is a great choice for a moderate resort.

Guest Review: Azul Riviera Cancun


Donnis and her family were looking for a family all inclusive resort for 5 adults and 5 kids aged 5, 8, 10, 11, and 12.
 
I curated a list of options for and they picked Azul Riviera Cancun. The large guaranteed connecting suites, kids' program, great dining, and evening entertainment were a good fit.
 
As a reminder, here's my resort tour followed by Donnis' review.

Nickelodeon Punta Cana Hotel and Suites Punta Cana

Nickelodean hotel, Sponge Bob Hotel

Nickelodeon Hotel and Suites Punta Cana is a family friendly all inclusive resort about 45 minutes from the Punta Cana airport. Nickelodeon Punta Cana is one of the best family all inclusive resorts because it offers an upscale experience with lots of kids’ activities. Nickelodeon Punta Cana separates the water park from the rest of resort – it’s across the street. This means your time on the beach and by the main pool feel more like an upscale resort than a crazy family resort. You can join in activities on the beach, by the pool or at the water park so families will have lots of choices if they want to keep busy. I love the Nickelodeon Punta Cana restaurant plaza that offer evening entertainment. 

 A huge thank you to Karisma Resorts for sponsoring my 3 night stay so I could share this experience with you.

Let's take a resort tour:


Things I appreciated:
  • Cleanliness - This is one of the cleanest resorts I've visited. It's the first swim up bar that did not have bees swarming.
  • Premium Liquors - When we saw Tanqueray 10 at the swim up bar, we were impressed.
  • Accessible Characters - Every hour, a new character was available for photos and meet and greets. The evening shows and character breakfast (extra charge) provide even more opportunities.
  • Upscale Dining options - The Italian restaurant offered one of the best meals we've had. K 2/3 offers 8 course or 16 course tasting menus for an extra charge. Brgrs PH had terrific gourmet burgers cooked to your preferred temperature.
  • Attentive pool service - Orlando, the pool butler, was excellent. He delivered drinks to the pool. Once, as we were getting out to dry off for lunch, he asked if we wanted a pizza and delivered one a short time later.
  • Live music in the plaza - We loved sitting outside in the plaza listening to the guitar players.
  • Suite size - The rooms are family sized. I like how the Flat Suite has the ability to enclose the king size bed. 
Take a look:


Some things to know:
  • The Character Place, Water Park, and Sports Hub are across the street. You'll take a golf cart shuttle under the road. This is where the kids' evening show takes place.
  • Pay attention to the schedule. You may get a printed schedule at check in. The resort is also working to bring an App online. 
  • Dinner reservations are required for most of the restaurants.
