Hotel Riu Reggae – Room Style

Rooms at Hotel Riu Reggae suit travelers who want the simplicity of a full resort stay, with the beach, pools, dining, bars, and activities all part of the same adults-only property.

• 454-room beachfront all-inclusive resort in Montego Bay
• Best for adults who want hotel-style convenience over a self-catering feel
• Free WiFi throughout the hotel and all-inclusive wristband access to included services

• Better for guests who want more independence during their Montego Bay trip
• Best if you do not need resort dining, bars, and activities bundled into the rate

If you want a less programmed stay and a lodging-first experience, Nickels Garden Villas is the more natural fit.
