Great Resort

Absolutely amazing place !!! Will definitely go back. Clean,tidy. Good and drinks selection was great. Right on the beach - great location. Nassau is a quick ferry ride. People are really friendly.

Really fabulous!

Great staff/service; food; ambience..and beautiful renovation. Really loved my room (and especially the double-sinked bathroom) Will definitely go back! (and I paid a singles supplement!!!) Recommend highly for anyone 30+...single/couple/with a friend

Nice Christmas Getaway

Just back from week's stay - Dec. 21 - 28. Overall a good all inclusive vacation. The staff was very pleasant, friendly and helpful. They went out their way to create some Christmas spirit with decorations and a special show on Christmas day. What's good: the beach is beautiful, the buffet selection and quality is good,the hotel decor is new and modern, Atlantis is right next door if you need a change of scenery or like the casino, cappuccino bar, the main pool is like a warm bath What's [... read more] not great: the endless jet-ski vendors yelling on the beach, having to line up for the theme restaurants (they don't take reservations - you can wait for 45 minutes before they open only to find out you can not get in), the entertainment, lack of an evening outdoor bar.(closes at 6pm), the swim up infinity pool is freezing. A good place to go if you want to just eat, drink and soak up some sun on the beach or pool. Not good if you are looking for a party atmosphere or adventures.

Worth the money

Excellent place, staff, food and overall cleanliness. The staff were very helpful you can ask them for anything and they a happy to help you. The buffet had lots of selection. Best to go to the buffet then the restaurant, no lineup. The pool, spa and beach all excellent. Get to the beach early and grab a chair for the day. Bring some crackers or bread and feed the fishes right there on the shore. Excellent picture opportunity when feeding the fish. There lots of vendors on the beach.

Bonus it's an all adult only resort.

Riu Palace Paradise Island

This is a nice hotel. I would not give it a 5 Star rating though. We stayed there from December 10 - 21, 2017. The hotel was not at full capacity so they used that as an excuse to keep the various restaurants closed for most of our stay. There was a line up each night for the specialty restaurants that were open and only half the tables were used. Most people were turned away and had to go eat in the regular buffet. There was a terrible sewer like smell in the lobby every day. The entire  [... read more]place was clean and there was always someone cleaning everything. The pool area was very clean as well but the noise from the streets and the Atlantis resort next door was very annoying. All staff members were extremely nice and everyone made you feel very welcome. I will not be returning to this resort or this island simply because the price is outrageous for what you get. I feel I would have been able to have 2 vacations for what I paid for 1. There simply was not enough bang for your buck at this resort.

Awesome resort

The hotel is very clean and staff are very friendly and helpful. Recently renovated and the new look is quite refreshing. The food is very good and staff will go over and above to get whatever you wish.

Paradise on Paradise Island

From walking in the front lobby to walking out to the pool this hotel is just stunning! The staff are outstanding and so friendly. The food is amazing as well. Cannot wait to return to Paradise Island

The New Riu

Very modern decor that seems the trend in the Caribbean. Nice, compact, rooms. Beds are firm but comfy for us. Staff are very friendly, particularly Lyndon, a waiter. We arrived over 4hours early and our room was ready!! The steak house and Crystal restaurants were nice and the buffet was great - we particularly liked the salad bar! I really liked the potato salad. Shade from the hotel itself was ever revolving and the beach staff was very obliging in providing umbrellas if requested. Proximity [... read more] to Atlantis was a few steps away and a great place to tour including a monster aquarium free if you arrive after 6pm or before 9am. Weather was a bit windy since hotel faced north but it was comfortable on beach all day. Coffee was great - cream was even available! The flight home to Toronto was a little over 2 hours.

Wonderful experience, friendly staff, great food and really nice beach!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Riu Palace on Paradise Island. The staff were wonderful, always pleasant, helpful and had a smile for everyone. The food was great and of course the drinks were good with lots of variety. I would of loved if they had offered clamato juice for ceaser's and Coors light but there were still plenty of other good options. The swim up pool bar was rather cool, might be nice if it was heated like the 2nd pool on the property. I would definitely stay at this resort aga [... read more]in. Thank you to Felicia for taking care of the booking.

Good resort

Overall a good experience, considering this is an adult only resort, we were hoping and expecting late night pool/beach parties which were not there. The pool closed at 6pm and after that, you are either at the beach until it's dark or in the nightclub type area sitting and drinking. Theres def a focus required on evening events.

Fantastic experience

The recent renovations left us feeling very satisfied. The staff was incredible and Lyndon (breakfast server) was an absolute ray of sunshine. My only issue was the shuttle bus took us the “scenic route” which was an additional 30 min. After flying for a number of hours, I don’t want the scenic tour. This was very aggravating.

Amazing service

I love the service at the hotel, people are nice and welcoming. There are some feature restaurants that you need to line up because they have only 40 spots at a time starting at 6:30pm. And it is first time first served. But you can register the second round (7:30 or 8:30) if you were at the line and missed the first round. The steak house was very good. I highly recommend trying the lobster there. And the bar is very nice, it is always packed at night. Riu is right next to the Atlantics, 2mi [... read more]ns walk to the beach tower of the Atlantics. You get walk in there and try the casino, the water park etc. in Atlantics. What I don't like about Riu is that the elevator was not functioning very well. And when we first arrived, there was some electricity problem for the whole hotel. We did not have access to the wifi username and password util the next day.

STINKS

Mrs. Fisher has our comments and review of the service provided by Sunwing. Please look it over very carefully. WE WILL BE ADVISING ALL OUR FRIENDS, FAMILY AND ANYONE THAT ASKS 'DO WASTE YOUR MONEY' ON SUNWING OR THE RIU pALACE, NASSAU Donna Laidlaw and Edwards Boland

Disappointed

I was disappointed in the new and improved Riu Paradise Island. The glass and chrome with grey decor I found very institutional looking not warm and inviting as most Caribbean resorts appear. The reception area instead of being the hub of the hotel with a bar and music appeared quiet and sombre. The rooms themselves were lovely though clean with a little tropical flair. The restaurants need some perking up, in fact we recommended to the waitress at the japanese restaurant a little music wou [... read more]ld add to the oriental ambiance. The main bar is set off down a hallway and not easy to find with very little entertainment . A board set out in the lobby might be nice to let the guests know whats happening entertainment wise in and around the hotel. The hotel staff were wonderful, warm and friendly with the exception of one individual who was the Sunwing rep. On our departure date we were told to have breakfast at 6:30 and the bus would be there for 7am. Well the restaurant did not open at 6:30 so we waited until 6:45 had a quick bite and were at the entrance at 7:05 only to witness the bus leaving . We approached the Sunwing rep and were told " to bad your problem". It not only made it very stressful it cost us $50.00 to get to the airport and her rude attitude left a bad taste in our mouth. We will reconsider using Sunwing again because of her total disregard for our situation.

Nice resort

Hotel was newly renovated however their food menu needed some help and for an all inclusive l felt as though I was limited to amount. Front desk check in was not so friendly and buffet closed at 10pm which I thought was odd as we arrived at 930pm. We had to change rooms on the first night as well as our phone was not working. All little things that could have been avoided. Also the cafe should open earlier than 10 am. Pool was ice cold first few days and the outdoor buffet was not stocked with e [... read more]nough food.

Loved my time here

We had an awesome time as I have been to Bahamas many times before. The resort needs a facelift but the staff make up for it.. it definitely isn't like staying at an all inclusive resort like you would in Dominican but Bahamas it's self has lots to offer being that it is so safe you can practically venture off the resort and go anywhere. Once there is more of a face life and more food options I think they will score big with the property being on PI right next to Atlantis with out being so b [... read more]usy.

Excellent stay

Food was good, plus each room has a bottle of rum, gin, vodka and scotch + mix and 4 Heinekens in it. Room had nice hardwood floor, spacious as well. Quick to get a drink but everyone seems to go to the Atlantis Casino at night so there isn't much nightlife. Beautiful beach and excellent value for our money.

Incredible

Amazing place, good food, friendly staff and people The beaches and places we visited is great, I was very excited to shop for friends and family, brought back a lot of souvenirs, will definitely go back for a visit Enjoyed my stay

It is one of best Resort that we staied .

every thing well organised except Beech .it was dirty un clean without serving guest with cold drink they have to go beside pool and get some drink when they coming back it gets warm. rest of situation were normal.

Warm and friendly staff

The rooms definitely needed upgrading but were clean and the hotel waiters and waitresses were so attentive and efficient, they have a lot of vacationers and had a short period to keep their tables clean for the next people eating, very impressed. Great variety of foods for all types of eaters and very tasty The beach was gorgeous, clean and inviting, a little to tidal for a non-swimmer but great for swimmers and snorkelers alike.
