Riu Negril, Riu Tropical Bay, or Riu Ocho Rios??

We are getting married October 6 and are trying to determine which spot would be best. About 40 guests, only a few kids. We will only be in Jamaica 5 days and then on to St Lucia for the honeymoon.
We are a pretty easy-going bunch and would much prefer a laid back experience to one that is "posh." That may sound wrong. We prefer a good pizza joint for dinner as opposed to a Wolfgang Puck dinner for the wedding.
Have any of you been to more than one of these and may be able to offer some insight? Anyway, thanks for any wisdom that you may be able to share.

Riu Negril is great, been twice and plan to go back ASAP.

Very friendly and laid back with a beautiful backdrop for a wedding,over looking the bay. It is away from the main run of hotels on Bloody Bay.

Riu Tropical Bay is like the Negril but alittle older and further round the bay.

Haven`t stayed at the Riu Ocho Rios,but have been by it ,
it is a very large hotel(largest in Jamaica I think).
