Hello,

My Husband and I recently got Married at the Riu Ocho Rios in Jamaica on March 4, 2008!! Yeah, it was absolutley AMAZING:-) We are planning on going on our honeymoon in the next month or so and we can't decide where to go.

We would like to stay with the Riu company because we find they are Fantastic and we really enjoy going to Riu Hotels. We really enjoyed the five star Riu Ocho Rios and we would like to stay at another hotel that is just as nice!!

Please help! I am open to suggestions. The key things I am looking for are...

~ A Riu Hotel

~5 Star

~ Caribbean

I think that is it. Thank you for your help and if possible please send pictures!! Oh yes, and keep in mind weather conditions at the destination in a months time!

Wow, This picture is amazing!! Do you have any other pics's of it from the water like this one? Just trying to get a good look of the beach.

How is the water inAruba? Alot of people on trip advisory are saying that the water is murkey from all of the man made walls going up?!?! Do you know anything about this? What time of year do you normally go to Aruba?

Thanks for all your help, I am leaning towards Aruba, so this is absolutley helping!!!

We go in late January early February for two weeks each year.  We have a timeshare at the Playa Linda on Palm Beach....that's the beach that the Riu is on as well.  The water has always been lovely when we've been there.  Mind you our timeshare has a crew doing water clean up constantly.  I'll attach some photos of the beach in front of our timeshare at the Playa Linda.....down the beach from the Riu.  I don't have any others of the Riu.  I've been to all the popular island destinations and Aruba was really the only one I wanted to keep coming back to, that's why we got the timeshare.  It is out of the hurricane belt and the weather is perfect!

 

This photo shows the boat that constantly sucks up any seaweed from the bottom at our timeshare....they work sunrise to sunset those two guys.
