Hotel Riu Palace Tropical Bay Weddings

Hotel Riu Palace Tropical Bay is located on one of Jamaica's most beautiful stretches of sand. It offers a 24-hour all-inclusive stay complete with the signature service RIU Hotels & Resorts are known for. With 452 rooms and suites, fabulous facilities, and direct access to the Caribbean waters, the resort delivers a stay that feels both relaxing and full of energy.

Days here can be as laid-back or as active as you and your guests want. Some of you might want to (happily) stay by the pool or beach all day, while others can go explore nearby gems like Rhodes Hall Plantation, Roaring River, or the Great Morass. Evenings here are full of live shows, music, and themed events. Plus with its family-friendly stance, the resort creates a setting where wedding celebrations can extend beyond just one day.

Accommodations

The resort has over 400 rooms and suites, all designed with comfort and convenience in mind. The accommodations come with essentials like air conditioning, satellite TV, in-room safes, minibars, liquor dispensers, coffee makers, and either a balcony or terrace. You also get irons, hairdryers, and sofa or sofa bed options.

For your wedding guests, the resort's Connecting Junior Suite with Sea View is a practical option. These rooms include sea views, and all standard amenities, while having connected spaces. This makes them perfect for families or friend groups attending the celebrations together.

For the newlyweds, we recommend the resort's Suite with Sea View. Spanning 47 sq. m., it includes a bathtub, bathrobes, and a private balcony or terrace where you can unwind with ocean views and a refreshing sea breeze.

Dining & Drinks

The main restaurant at the resort is called Negril. It serves buffet-style breakfasts with live cooking stations, fresh fruits, juices, and sparkling wine. Lunch and dinner have a wider selection of dishes, and also include vegetarian options, and desserts. 3 times in a week, Negril also hosts themed evenings. The Krystal restaurant serves fusion cuisine for dinner, while Rimini focuses on classic Italian dishes. You and your guests can also enjoy Japanese flavours at Hakucho. You also have to visit the Jerk restaurant. They serve authentic Jamaican jerk chicken cooked over charcoal. The Sun swim-up bar is a favourite with guests, and thus, often crowded. Lounge 24 serves continental breakfasts and snacks, and the Daiquiri Lobby Bar offers a more relaxed setting. Bar Salón and the Plaza bar provide late-night refreshments.

Activities & Entertainment

We feel that there's never a shortage of things to do at Hotel Riu Palace Tropical Bay! Honestly, this makes it easy for wedding groups to stay engaged throughout the trip, while the couple can just focus on each other. The resort's RIU recreation programme offers activities for all ages, from fitness classes like yoga, cardio, and water aerobics through RIU Fit, to sports and nearby golf courses. The gym is fully equipped for both cardio and weight training sessions. You and your guests can enjoy live shows, music, and performances in the evenings. And the themed RIU Parties bring in all the excitement. The themes include Jungle, White Party, Neon and even Pink Party. These parties feature DJs, dancing, and high-energy performances, and are a fun way for wedding groups to celebrate together beyond the main event. Kids are equally well taken care of. RIU Land offers a dedicated programme for kids with games, workshops, and activities, alongside a children's pool designed just for them.

What’s Nearby?

Just beyond the resort, you can explore the famous Seven Mile Beach. For something more lively, a visit to Rick's Café is almost a must! It's where cliff diving, and music and drinks go hand in hand. You can also head to Chukka Ocean Outpost for ziplining, ATV rides, river tubing, and snorkelling, or take a boat trip to the Luminous Lagoon, where the water glows at night due to natural bioluminescence. Nature lovers can explore places like the Great Morass wetlands or Roaring River. Or hop on a boat ride to small offshore places like Booby Cay. And, you have to shop along Norman Manley Boulevard, as well as try authentic Jamaican jerk at local stands.
