Vacation Package Deals

We've checked around for the best deals so you can get the most out of your stay in Jamaica. We found that booking a package deal through Expedia offers the best rates if you book your flight and hotel together. You may also book a vacation package deal directly through the Riu by visiting the following website: https://www.riu.com/en/home.jsp. Select the "Flight+Hotel" tab and simply type Ocho Rios as the destination. Because of the great rates offered by Expedia, we do not have a group rate. This will allow you to maximize savings on your flight and hotel while giving you the flexibility to book when you're ready. You may also book the flight and hotel separately. Just remember, you will receive the best rates if you book them together!
