Just a short ride from downtown Montego Bay, Jamaica, is the Hotel Riu Montego Bay, an all-inclusive holiday destination on the beach particularly suited for families, couples and groups.

The main building is inspired by classic Venetian architecture, and the traditionally furnished guestrooms have glass doors that open onto a terrace or balcony, many with views of the sea. Suites have a separate sitting area and boast hydro-massage tubs in the bathroom.

Breakfast, lunch and dinner at Rose Hall, the main dining room, include both a buffet and cooking stations with daily specials including traditional Jamaican jerk barbecue. The resort also has three theme restaurants: Little Italy serves Italian favorites, Kalú offers an Asian buffet, and Mahoe Bay specializes in grilled seafood and steaks.

The resort offers daytime entertainment programs for both children and adults. Water sports include kayaking and windsurfing, and the diving center offers a free introductory scuba lesson in the pool. Two lit tennis courts, beach volleyball, table tennis, billiards and a gym cater to active guests, while the Renova Spa has a full menu of rejuvenating treatments. There’s also live music and entertainment nightly as well as dancing at the Pacha nightclub.
