Hi, though I have never stayed at the RIU's, I have spent alot of time on Bloody Bay where they are located and talked to many who have stayed there. Many seem to really love it, but some have voiced issues with the fact that they felt like they were in jail: same food everyday, same little strip of beach (RIU's are not actually on Negril's 7 mile beach). If you want to be "ON" resort all the time, I am sure it is a good choice. If you are interested in getting out and about, it may not be the best as you will have to hire a taxi to get you to the 7 mile beach area where there are restaurants, bars, etc, approx. a 10 minute drive, not really a walking option IMHO. If you go to the hotels tab above and then click on the beachmap, you will get an idea of the location...couples is on the very top of the map, and the RUI's are before that. I understand that you do have the option to walk from one to the other, and there is a stretch of beach inbetween them; just one or two hotels, and lots of local vendors selling things along the beach. No proper restaurants, bars.
Although many on the board prefer to go non All Inclusive, I did it on my first trip and didnt mind it, although I was on Negril beach at Grand Pinapple. Best of both worlds for me as I was travelling alone and on a budget.
I stay in contact with my family by email when in Jamaica, doesnt cost a dime...
I think you will love it no matter where you stay!
