The RIU Hotels and Resorts group has expanded its Caribbean footprint yet again, opening its seventh resort on the island of Jamaica.
The RIU Palace Aquarelle has opened its doors in Falmouth, Trelawny, running along the blue waters of White Bay beach. Just 35 minutes away from Montego Bay, this new five-star resort boasts 753 rooms, offering round the clock all-inclusive service.
When they step through the doorway of their room at the Hotel RIU Palace Aquarelle, guests will find a tastefully decorated, spacious and bright area that is equipped with everything they need to enjoy a comfortable stay. Earthy colours and organic motifs play a starring role, with simple furniture and decoration. But by far the best thing about this new hotel are the breathtaking views of the Caribbean Sea from virtually every room to give guests a truly unforgettable experience.

If you don’t care for the pool and prefer the real deal, you can take a dip in the ocean as the hotel sits right along the shoreline of White Bay beach.

These panels are expected to draw up to 400-kilowatts at its peak, generating up to 470,000 kilowatt hours per year and cutting CO2 emissions by approximately 221,482 kilograms per year.
