Drapers Vacations

This was my 3rd trip to Jamaica, and I wanted to try something different from the expensive all inclusive resorts. After my experience here, I won't be booking resorts again. Getting a whole lot more bang for your buck with the villa booking. The property manager, Mr Davy, was very kind and attentive from the moment I landed, and stayed in touch even after I landed back home to make sure I made it back to my destination safely. He's always a quick whatsapp message or a phone call away if you need anything. The area is very quiet, and the villa was spotless. Highly recommend!

RIU Aquarelle was nothing short of amazing. The resort was clean and beautiful and the staff was great. Kerona at the front desk was pleasant and efficient. The young lady that greeted us with drinks in the lobby was the sweetest. My room had the best view and stocked fridge and open bar that was included in the All-Inclusive experience. The 4 restaurants was a nice plus but my favorite place to eat on the resort was White Bay (The Buffet). The food was amazing (I stuck to the Caribbean cuisine and the ice cream) and my favorite waitress was Anna Lee (I cannot wait to go back just to see her). Let's talk about The Marley (the adult only wet bar/ swim up pool) The whole entire team there was amazing and they did what needed to be done for the guests and they kept the drinks coming (One of their names was Jaidyn). The on sight professional photography needs to be talked about more. I never knew how many photo shoots I needed until I went on this vacation. I loved this experience and this place so much that I only left the resort 1 day to go shopping. Oh, and there is a 24-hour sports bar that has unlimited food and drinks. I went to the RIU Ocho Rios for the All-White party and never stopped moving my feet (A time was had). My only issue was the disorganization of the staff getting us to the All-White affair; It was not a well-oiled machine. Overall, RIU did their big one with the RIU Palace Aquarelle; I'm officially hooked, call me an addict LOL.

All staff were professional, courteous and friendly. They all went out of their way to grant your requests. The ambience is very nice. The electrical outlets on the patio didn't always work. Had to be creative in getting plugs to stay in. They also need to upgrade from 110v to 220v. Just kidding, but they should have something for travelers from Europe. Internet service was pretty good. Everyone in my group were pleased and would return. The tour setup for us by the manager was fun!!!! Good people, fantastic accommodations. Recommended...

Everything over all was an amazing experience, food was amazing, we’ll definitely go back

Super voyage en amoureux. Hôtel offrant plusieurs activités (sportives, divertissement, relaxation, etc.), mais également possible d’avoir des coins tranquilles pour relaxer (une piscine réservée à une zone silencieuse, coin tranquille sur la plage). Super belle plage, bonne nourriture. Super service de divertissement.
