Riu Palace Paradise Island: Carefree Escape

The very best thing about this hotel is the staff. We enjoyed every individual who worked to make our holiday everything we could have asked for. The hotel is fresh, spotlessly clean and offers non stop fresh and carefully prepared food, drinks both non alcoholic and alcohol. The pool is well maintained and the ocean of course is stunning.

Warwick Paradise Island: Great long weekend

I picked this hotel because it is small and we were only there for a long weekend . We loved Edgewater Grill restaurant and the Italian was good as well. The staff were all friendly. The hog bar is very busy so service can be slow.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Riu Palace

Had an amazing Time in Bahamas! The hotel and staff were wonderful to say the least! Everyone was so friendly and catered to our every need. We can’t wait to go back for another vacation and recommend Bahamas to anyone who is looking for a place to go on a vacation

Warwick Paradise Island: 7 Days in Warwick Paradise

It usually takes me about a week after I get back from vacation to write a review but it's my last night here and I decided to write my review before I go home because this is how great this place is!   The Warwick resort is absoluetly amazing! I decided to chose this resort as I was celebrating my 25th birthday with my fiance and needed a nice warm getaway (although its a bit chilly its better than snow!) From the moment we checked in we were welcomed with warm smiles and offered drinks. A [... read more]ll of the wonderful ladies and gentlemen who work at the front desk have been so helpful whether it's calling a taxi, getting change for the laundry or a simple question that I had. They know their stuff and with both of us working and previously working in the hospitality industry these are the little things we look for when traveling.    The room we stayed in was a basic Islandview King room. My view was partically the beach, mostly construction that was going on then the island and when where all the boats and yatchs park. I was also able to see when the cruise ships were coming in and leaving.The room is spacious and the bed is super comfy. The washroom and room are kept extremly clean by the staff. There was even a time I left my pajamas on the bed and I came back to them folded nicely on the side i was sleeping on lol. So big shoutout to them for that!   The food... omg the food! Verandah (the daily buffet) is out of this world. Being of caribbean decent I always look for flavor and taste in food when traveling because I know most resorts try to cater to everyone and make the food a little bland but WARWICK! No chile I probably gained about 25 pounds this week the food is superb. The food isnt only good at the Verandah but every single food spot is on point. One thing though is sometimes its a bit to cold in there so by the time you get your food and sit down the food is cold. Dessert is super tasty if you have a sweet tooth. Even the drinks are on point. The staff at the Hog Bar and also the Rum Cay bar know how to make a drink! Chickcharine's was my fav spot to hit up at 1am for a burger or hotdog  I just wish there were more night options. Like the conch fritters or quesidilla, but one person works there so its understandable. Abbicco (Italian), Tings(Asian) and Edgewater Grill are to die for! Each one of them brought their own unique flavors and everything was always cooked to perfection.   Lastly the beach. The beach is a bit tricky, if its a super hot day (like my second and third day) its impossible to find seating on the beach or even the pool. Although it is a smaller closed off area I think there needs to be more chairs and umbrellas. When it was cooler out and people decided not to go sit on the beach it was a breeze finding seats. Although the water was cold the sun was just right. Whether on the beach or the pool someone always came around to ask if youre okay and I really likes that because if i was comfy in the sun I def didnt want to get up for a drink. I would like to give a special thank you to Chrishantie for answering all of my questions before arriving, Shama for the quick and easy check in after our long flight & Jarvis for being an amazing server all three nights we had him at each restaurant. (Abbiocco, Edgewater, and Tings) I feel terrible that I cant remember her name but she worked at Chickcharine's whenever she saw me she always smiled and said hi, and didnt hesitate to make my late night snack. Also to the ladies in the excursion office  Tamarah ( i really hope thats her name) was so friendly and sweet. Although my excursiom got cancelled due to weather she still gave me other options. Overall Warwick 5 stars! I had an amazing birthday so thank you for that! I would recommed this resort to anyone young or old for your first time in the country. There are so many options and fun things to do here or if youre just looking to lay around in the sun you can do it all here !

Riu Palace Paradise Island: reconsider this hotel

This hotel is the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. We spend 4 nights Jan 21 -24. On our 2nd day we were moved to another room. our 1st night in the 2nd room my partner c/o of red bump on is skin. He said it could be bed bugs. I though no way the room appears clean. On our forth night we saw bedbugs running on the bed along with roaches on the floor. We came back home in terrors, hoping that no bedbugs came in our belonging. To date Jan 30 our suitcases remains in the garage. We wash our cloth [... read more]s in hot water, but is still afraid to bring them to bedroom.We have no peace of mind since returning because it takes a lot of work to get rid of bed bug. We did a incident report b4 leaving the hotel and no one contacted us back. This means they are aware of the problem.

Sandals Royal Bahamian: Can't wait to go back again for a 3rd time!!!

Always an amazing resort. Food is to die for!! Private island is so beautiful!!! Pools were a bit chilly in January when we went and the Windsor suites could use some updating!! Other than that everything else was perfect!

Sandals Royal Bahamian: Amazing

The hotel was beautiful the service was excellent and the food was great. Our room was very nice and always clean One thing we were very disappointed was that my wife forgot her winter coat in the room and we called after 45 minutes from checking out and they said not there and was nothing left in the room which is not true cause we even left a pair of my sandals there.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Best resort I've ever stayed at

The customer service was incredible, staff was very friendly and constantly making sure that the guests were taken care of. Fresh food for all meals. Rooms were very clean and restocked every day. Also a beautiful resort!

Warwick Paradise Island: Hard working, good-natured staff and accomodation with room to grow

Location: Centrally located. Brisk walk to Atlantis Resort; Marina side (dated and it shows), really nice walk to Cabbage Beach (Riu). Able bodied travelers will reach Straw Market (downtown) quite easily, though you need to cross the bridge each way. Stretch those legs. Save yourself a cab. Pool / Ocean access: Great pool access. Ample room. Ocean access is limited / cut off by Nassau Harbour. If you prefer more of a traditional Bahamas beach you're 10 mins from Cabbage or a bus ride to Saun [... read more]ders beach. Depends on your appetite. Food / Service: We found the food and service consistently good. Out of a 4-day stay there was only one meal we found fell below our standards (@ Edgewater Grill). Our mistake to order steak perhaps. One of the servers, Jarvis - was a standout 5-star every night. Give that gentleman a raise! At times the buffet was a bit meager that might be a result of the % of guests booked at the hotel - we found the week we stayed, the hotel was about 40% full. Overall value - good. I wouldn't call this a 4-star resort. However, if a few things were addressed - E.g. shower heads (bathroom), check-in/check-out expediency, improved organization on airport transfers ... it would raise my expectations certainly. Thanks all @ Warwick for a great stay.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Good resort but know that you will spend a lot of time in the lobby!

We arrived around 10am and were told we couldn’t check in until 3pm. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t good and everyone had to sit in the lobby for hours. Food was amazing, didn’t go to any a la carts but we have been to the same restaurants in Aruba and they were fantastic. Hotel and rooms were spectacular. Very beautifully done. Staff was fantastic, very nice and very helpful. Was surprised that there were no souvenir shops at the resort and only 1 bar inside to get drinks (with the exce [... read more]ption of the coffee bar). On our last day we had to check out at noon and were told that we could not get a late checkout (we had a note on our door). Check out was noon and bus didn’t pick us up until 7:30pm so again we had to sit around. People were sleeping in the lobby because we had no where to go. Also, people had arrived that day and weren’t allowed to check in so there were tons of people awkwardly hanging around. Something needs to be done about the scheduling issue. While we checked out we noticed that there was a paper with peoples names that were allowed a late checkout but staff said that no one was allowed to check out late. Found out later that people were allowed to so we weren’t too impressed. Went to see the sea lions and it was amazing!! We snuck over to atlantis because it was right beside our resort. All in all it was ok. Had the weather been better we probably would have had a better time, although during the 84 hours we stayed, 13 of the hours we had no where to go. Also, had an oceanfront room and it was so worth the extra money!

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Stay at the Riu

The hotel itself was good. However no music and due tobweathwr it was pretty boring. No pool time I get this is nt thoroughly fault due to weather but alternative fun would have been nice. The special restaurants ridiculous you cant reaeve in advance but the buffet was good. The service from hotel was good but sunwing was just rude were not helpful with excursion info. Very disappointed in flight they ran out of food. Not sure id like to travel with sunwing again after this experience.first vac [... read more]ation for my sister and quite a disappointment.hoping sunwing can improve their service.

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: Melia Nassau Beach Resort not worth the money

Visited from Jan 4 to Jan 11, 2018. Humongous hotel was almost empty as we found out later. At the reception they announced that they were giving me Free upgrade with the pool view on the second floor. When I checked in the room I was disturbed by loud noise from across the hall. Sounded like heavy machinery used by construction workers. I thought it was temporary, some kind of renovation. But few hours later the noise was still there. The cleaning lady said the construction work should stop aft [... read more]er 4 pm, but it did not. I could not believe they gave me a room in that zone and called it an upgrade. I went to the reception and complained. They gave a room in the opposite end of the hotel where was very quiet (same view at the pool). The coffee maker in the room was broken and dirty. I asked for replacement twice, but it did not come until I run into hotel manager and mentioned it. The last two days we had strong winds which filled our room with loud noise that was coming from the balcony because the sliding doors were too loose. I noticed that there was paper jammed between the rails of the door and realized that it was done to reduce the noise. I squeezed more paper to fix the door and it worked. There were only two restaurants indoors that were open. Awful service and food. In Silantro restaurant the neighbouring table had dirty plates all the time we were there. No one bothered to clean it up. I lost appetite, it was so disgusting. Buffet menu was the same every day. Same meat, same vegetables, same salads. Dessert was grocery store level. Hot tub was so dirty you would not want to wet your feet there. Entertainment was so so. You have a feeling that hotel is on the verge of going out of business. I stayed in resorts in Mexico and DR many times and wanted to try something different this time. Trust me, you would get ten times better service and food for the same money in those counties.

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: wonderful resort

the staff were super friendly and helpful, room service good, buffet very good with wide variety to choose from while catering to gluten and lactose allergies. white sandy beach and always clean. fun activities always going on at resort. fun time

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: Pretty Bad

Grounds, nicely kept. Restaurants, fair, not enough wait staff/ bus persons to keep up with the not full restaurant. An untrained waiter started well but could not keep up with the four tables he had. Chef came out to help ensure guests were placated and tried to convince us to return. Pools : kept clean with a portable filter system that was hooked up every morning for about 20 min or so to each of the three pools. Staff were attentive to the pool maintenance but a permanent system would be [... read more] better. the hot tub was very dirty. Pea soup! Building maintenance, this hotel was showing it's age and was not kept up where low traffic was likely such as in the stair wells at the end of the hallways. rusty railings etc. Facility Care: When we first checked in the room did not have anything in the mini bar at all. There was some construction going on, on the first floor directly below our room, so we had to request to be moved to the other side of the hotel. Rooms were cleaned later in the day compared to other hotels in the Caribbean that I've stayed in. The mini bar fridge only ever received one bag of Chips for Three people. Hotel Staff: Very polite. Front desk staff other staff were all polite and were accommodating when asked for any service. Restaurant Staff: In the buffet, a fairly small selection that barely varied from day to day. Beach: nice beach with adequate seating and raked white sand every morning. beutiful turquoise waters . A little on the cool side but not unusual for this area.

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: Not good !

What a waste of time and money. We go south at least twice a year and can compare to other resorts. Hotel: old, empty, with construction going all day long. Never had such small soap bars in my life, plus they left only three of those and never added more. I do not use liquid soaps so I had a problem. They are so so cheap with replenishing the bar fridge in the room. For us three they left 2 packages of chips and not every day! Once my husband mentioned to the workers that they left only o [... read more]ne package of chips, they brought chips, but only one package! lol We don't eat chips normally, but on that resort I allowed my son to eat it. Restaurants: only one buffet with almost the same food every day. Three other restaurants require reservations, and also have a very limited menu. Asian restaurant was 'eh'. Mexican, oh Mexican... they had only one waiter on our side of the restaurant and he was so busy, so much in hurry, forgetting everything, dropping glasses, etc. Poor waiter. Pools. They are not heated. Only one hot tub and - o boy, they don't change often enough water and water is like 'pea soup' (my husband said). Entertainment. Almost no entertainment. 30 min here and there. No entertainment in pools. I saw once aerobics, but that was it. No cheerful music at the pools, engaging events, etc. Beach. Beach is ok. Probably the best piece of that resort. What a shame that they could't represent the beauty of the Bahamas in a better way. I will make sure that my friends will not go there. Would give 3 stretched stars to the resort, but remembering how much we paid ( ~$1700 per person), will give 2 stars.

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: 3 star at best

Overall we were disappointed in our experience at the Melia. Our room looked nice, but all of the metal elements were rusted. The tub wouldn’t drain (nor could we plug it to give our daughter a bath) and our hot water didn’t work the first day. Our AC unit was broken and blew cold air non-stop. We were frozen. The heaters on the hot tubs and pools weren’t working properly. The concrete around the resort was broken and our daughter tripped over some loose pieces and hurt herself. On the [... read more] positive side, the food was ok and the staff were lovely. We would not recommend this resort, nor will we return. Poor value for your money.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Rieu Palace Paradise Island was amezing

we love everything about the place, staff where great, food excellent, grounds perfect very clean. I would fully recommend everyone to go. There was a lot stuff for you to keep busy or not your choice.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: nice short trip vacation location

We stayed at the Hotel Riu on Paradise island,Bahamas Dec 31-Jan 4. 3 hour flight time, weather was great. Hotel itself was okay, food was good, the buffet was excellent. For dinner no limit on the a la carte restaurants, but would prefer the reservation process rather than the walk up and wait process. Service was excellent to just okay. Different people, had different attitudes.But no one was bad, and no one was pushy for tips. The hotel room view of the ocean was excellent from our r [... read more]oom. Balcony was a bit small, room was clean comfortable and bright, could have had better chairs, in the room. Great wi-fi, good TV and channel selections. Bathroom was clean, lots of hot water, nice shower with rain head. Bar was noisy, not cozy, personal preference for us is a piano bar. Evening entertainment was good. Hotel itself was small. Adults only no children. Hotel Atlantis complex is next door, for casino action. Beach walking was excellent, 30 minutes east to the golf course, 15 minutes west to the lagoon river for the Atlantis. Blue warm water, nice sands, not much to see for snorkeling from the beach area. Big pool was heated, good clean. Lots of available chairs around the pool and the beach did not have any issues finding a place to sit. Small pool to swim up bar, separate pool area ( good idea). But water was cold. Outside food, Jerk Chicken bbq and nice pool bar. Overall good for a quick trip south.

Breezes Bahamas: Beautiful, clean resort

Everything was great except the pool was cold and the swim up bar was closed. Staff were very nice, but not as enthusiastic as other resorts. We went here as a honeymoon and informed the resort several months before that we just wanted the free honeymoon package which included t-shirts and champagne. Upon arrival, there was nothing in our room. We asked the staff everyday for 4 days before we finally got our honeymoon package. The t-shirts were both XXXL. My wife is a S or XS and I am a  [... read more]XL. We inquired about this but they said they had no other sizes. It's a shame they didnt have this more organized.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Gorgeous Renovated Resort

Spent 3 nights at this amazing place. Loved every second. One thing need to be changed. Riu needs an app to book dinner reservations ahead instead of lining up for ala cart restaurants. Otherwise a great resort. This is my second time to Riu Paradise Island and won't be my last.
