RIU Hotels Helped Bring Reggae Sunsplash Back to Jamaica

Reggae Sunsplash, the world´s largest and most important music festival devoted exclusively to reggae music, recently returned to Jamaica –its place of origin- after a nine-year hiatus.

The four-day event held on August 3 through 6 hosted over 50,000 guests at Richmond Estate, St. Ann, featuring performances by reggae legends UB40, Damian “Junior Gong” Marley (son of the Reggae legend Bob Marley), Maxi Priest, Morgan Heritage, Steel Pulse and others.

“The return of Reggae Sunsplash to Jamaica was an unmitigated success bringing four days of joy, fun and festivity to the island,” said Angella Bennett, Sales Director RIU Hotels & Resorts, Jamaica. “We are proud and happy that we were able to contribute to this important cultural, social and internationally renowned event.”

A 20x20 feet sky box closest to the stage with the best view for the Riu guests and the opportunity to meet personally with the artists that were staying at the Riu Ocho Rios were only a few of the special amenities for the RIU guests.
