First of all, because I booked my trip as an Expedia package, the hotel was unable to provide airport round-trip transportation. As a result, I had to spend an extra $240 on transportation.
Second, I had to wait two days just to make reservations for the restaurants. I explained to the staff that I was only staying for three nights, but they were not able to help, and the manager was unavailable.
Third, the rooms were hot, and the towels had an unpleasant, musty smell.
The highlight of our stay was meeting Natasha at the Sports Bar. She made our mornings delightful with her warm hospitality and delicious coffee. She truly made a positive difference in our experience.
I sincerely hope RIU Negril takes steps to improve these issues, as the resort has great potential.
