RIU Hotels and Resorts newest Jamaican property – it’s seventh – is set to open its doors May 4. Located in the Falmouth, Trelawny, 15 minutes from the airport in Montego Bay, the five-star all-inclusive Riu Palace Aquarelle is exclusive to Sunwing Vacations and boasts a beachfront location, water park on site, and international dining options.
Across its open-air lobby, restaurants, suites and spaces, this brand-new property features elements reminiscent of Jamaica’s island inspirations and reflects RIU’s elevated design concept that can be seen at its new and newly renovated properties across Mexico and the Caribbean.
This resort boasts 753 rooms, each featuring a bright and modern design complemented by natural furnishings, plus a range of accommodations for families, friends, and groups of all sizes. Guests can take their pick of suites offering a balcony or terrace, living spaces and modern amenities, some featuring ocean views and swim-up access, plus two-bedroom family rooms and connecting suites for those travelling together.
Amenities include five pools, among them a kids pool with water slides, the on-site Splash Water World water park, plus non-motorized water sport activities, including stand-up paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkelling and more.
The resort’s beachfront is lined with sun loungers, and wellness travellers can take advantage of a fitness centre and RiuFit group activities, steam bath and Renova Spa.
In addition, customers can savour a range of culinary specialties, including traditional Jamaican barbecue at the Jerk Station, international flavours at the buffet with live cooking stations, and fusion, Italian, Japanese and steakhouse cuisine at the à la carte restaurants. Guests will also find multiple bars throughout the property, including poolside and swim-up bars.
“This beachfront oasis is perfectly suited to our customers, from young couples jet-setting to paradise to families with young children looking to enjoy a mix of kid-friendly excitement and relaxation,” says Samantha Taylor, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer of Sunwing Vacations Group.
