Following four months of extensive renovation and refurbishment works, the five-star all-inclusive Riu Negril hotel has re-opened its doors.
Located on the Bloody Bay beachfront in Negril, Jamaica, the updated resort now has 600 rooms split between five room types. As part of the update, 28 rooms now include a private swim-up pool for those looking for a bit more privacy.

The basic room offers no balcony, while higher tier options offer a balcony or terrace view of the garden, partial or full view of the ocean. Finally, there is the top-tier room option which has both a view of the ocean and the swim-up pool in one.
