RIU Palace Jamaica Wedding Packages & Pricing
How Pricing Works
RIU Palace Jamaica is an adults-only (18+) RIU Palace-tier property on Mahoe Bay in Montego Bay, roughly 15–20 minutes from Sangster International Airport (MBJ) — one of the shortest airport transfers of any Jamaica wedding resort. The property is in the 200-room range and runs RIU's 24-hour all-inclusive model with five restaurants (steakhouse, Italian, Japanese, fusion, and an international buffet), three bars, and a beachfront pool zone. Adults-only matters for planning: no guests under 18 are admitted, which removes child-side logistics but also means it isn't an option if your guest list includes children. RIU's wedding-office cap for private events at this property is approximately 30 guests — beyond that count, you're outside the standard wedding program and into a custom build, which RIU sales should confirm in writing. The couple plus 80% of the guest list must stay on-property to access the wedding program.
