Hotel Riu in Montego Bay is the place to stay! You want to stay at the palace because you get access to 3 hotels instead of one! It is a higher price point than the other 2 but so worth it!

Now this one is a little tight buttt the music is amazing! 🤩 they don’t sell mixed drinks, only nips & bottles so be aware of that too if you’re going here but such a great time in or outside of the club. They play music in both areas!

If you stay at Hotel Riu, you will meet Mr. Frost & he will cut a coconut open for you! The coconut water there is so refreshing! Mind you, I hate coconuts but there’s something about the ones in Jamaica! And tell Mr. Frost, Dawn said hi!

You guys do NOT miss this when you go! The jerk is so authentic! It is only on the Hotel Riu REGGAE side so you do have to walk to the other side to experience this. Only a 2 minute walk to the next hotel!
