The best Resort and very unorganized Sunwing/Westjet airline
Good Day Folks! We had amazing family vacation in Riu Palace Tropical Bay in Nigril, Jamaica.All grounds and activity, personal, entertainment and food is the best. Beach and water is great, 10 out of 10 Mr. Amazing from entertainment team is awesome. Management Julian, Claudia, and Miguel are very nice and friendly with tourists. But....... Please be aware of this Package operated by Sunwing and flight with Westjet . Local Sunwing representative is useless. Her name is Antoinette. Her goal just to sell a trips and excursion . Our flight was cancelled the day before we were supposed to leave and she was not doing her job by telling us to call Westjet and sort it out ourselves. Westjet was not helpful either and telling us to contact Sunwing; very back and forth and no one wanted to take responsibility in this situation. The best way to get to this resort would to be using an American airline. We don't plan to buy a vacation package with Sunwing again. Other than that, the vacation was great and best wishes for 2023!

Recommend.
The beach is one of the best we have encountered in our many travels and many resorts. The rooms have sea views and are clean and updated. Meals were excellent with well-cooked and served options. Friendly staff. The trip from Montego Bay was better for the private transport (I have used the bus in a previous experience and it takes a long time -- longer depending on the time of day). Restaurants have no reservations which is a problem as lineups are a pain, often with disappointment, and could be easily remedied with reservations. That said, the sushi at Hakuchi was really tasty. Rimini was excellent; the food was great. Chef Makenzie cooked lamb perfectly and he was very humble and appreciative. Then there was Karen. She is the manager? Fantastic person and has excellent management skills. She made us welcome and took the time to make our evening special.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montego Bay.
How much does Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer cost?
+
Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montego Bay usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Montego Bay is not rushed.
Is Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montego Bay, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Montego Bay can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Montego Bay and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Riu Negril / Riu Palace Tropical Bay Private Airport Transfer start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Montego Bay within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Montego Bay?
+
On Outty we rank every Montego Bay experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Montego Bay Airport Transfer to Negril, Blue Hole and Dunn's River Falls Private Tour from Montego Bay, Appleton Estate Admission Ticket & Distillery Tour with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Montego Bay?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Montego Bay?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
