Hotel Riu Tropical Bay | Negril’s Bloody Bay | Jamaica Inn | sports new decor

Hotels

by Elaine Glusac

TROPICAL TWOSOME

IN BOTH MASS AND CLASS CATEGORIES, JAMAICA’S HOTELS ARE JAMMIN’

Hotel Riu Tropical Bay opens this month on Negril’s Bloody Bay. The 396-room Riu marries Victorian-style buildings to modern hedonism with two swimming pools and watersports, plus restaurants, bars, a disco, and live music. Break away, if you can, for Negril’s eat-and-drink epicenter, West End, just down the road. Rates from $195; (305) 604-3336 or www.riuhotels.com

The Ocho Rios hideaway Jamaica Inn sports new decor and, ingratiating its mover-and-shaker guests, a new telephone system providing in-room Internet connections. But fear not, Luddites. The serene 45-room host of celebs from Winston Churchill to Kate Moss keeps the connectivity buzz low-key. Rooms start at $450; (800) 837-4608 or www.jamaicainn.com. —
