Great resort!

The hotel rooms are very nice. Service was always good. Hard to get into some restaurants but the food was good. Close to everything. Golfing very expensive but reef fishing was fun! Overall 4.8 stars holiday

Great Resort

Did a 4 day 3 night weekend. It was perfect. Quick flight from Toronto, and we were at resort before lunch. Food was amazing and bar service was great. Make sure you have the jerk Chicken. Visit Atlantis after 6 and see the aquarium and stop by to see the yaughts a girl can dream right. Room was lovely, but bring your own shampoo

Excellent resort

Very clean, friendly and welcoming staff, amazing food. Great amenities and customer service. I enjoyed the excursions available and the overall accommodations provided. I highly recommend staying here!

Our Favourite

We have been twice now and love it more every time we go. Friendly staff, amazing food, clean rooms, never a complaint. We will definitely visit again sometime. So much fun !!!! Highly recommended

Amazing stay!

First time coming since the renovation and it was fantastic. Can’t wait to come back. Food is high quality and all staff members exceeded my expectations. This hotel meets the needs of all guest types.

Beautiful resort

Love this resort. Have been 7 times. Never disappoints. You get the same great amenities every time. Everything is so close. You're in very short walking distance to the pool the beach the buffet the coffee shop and the Atlantis Hotel is 60 feet away. There are so many staff that are available to make sure you always have a drink in your hand a towel or anything that you need. I also like the fact that it's not a very far car drive from the airport.

Honest Review

Service excellent Room cleanliness: satisfactory. Hair on toilet, washroom, hair dryer on arrival. Not cleaned well. Toilet: When flushing, it doesn’t flush completely. Need new system. A magot in toilet found. Hotel: Smells aged, musky rooms. Food: Excellent Pools: Nice. Infinity pool a bit too crowded and small. Activities: Need indoor playroom for bad weather. Maybe a pool table would be good. Entertainment: Satisfactory. I liked the variety.

Great resort

Hotel was wonderful. Clean exactly as described. Staff was very helpful. Pool and activities were as expected. Atlantis hotel was nice and close. We did find it strange that you can not make reservations for supper. Wait times were too long. We will be visiting another RIU soon. Thank you.

Beautifully Renovated Hotel

My Husband and I took a short trip here last week. The hotel was beautifully renovated, had two nice pools and the beach. The food from the buffet was delicious, and we were always excited about what they would have for each meal as it was always different(which we have found with some other Riu’s That we have stayed in that it can be repetitive. But this one wasn’t.) The Atlantis is directly beside you so there’s a lot to see and do. Day passes for their amenities are expensive, but w [... read more]e went to see their aquarium, outdoor aquatic area, and beach’s for the day and it was stunning. Worth the little extra money. We walked over to the straw market which is their downtown area from the hotel. It was only about a 30-40 minute walk, and it was a decently nice one. Felt safe, and got some exercise in. Could have taken a taxi, but we enjoy seeing a destination for all it is. We did take the ferry back just to enjoy a different view which was only $4 per person a ride. So value for money for sure. However the themed restaurants food weren’t all that exciting, and they don’t take reservations so it’s all on a first come first serve basis. Nothing worth standing around for 45 for. The buffet was much better in my opinion. The beach had a very strong undertow so the 2/3 full days we were there the flag was red and we couldn’t go in the water so it was slightly limited there. Everyone at the hotel was super nice, and friendly. All in all, the value for money was impeccable.

Rieu Palace Paradise Island was amezing

I would fully recommend this resort. the food is amazing the people are great the hotel is very clean the pool is amazing the only think the beach needs to be a little better there is to much of a dip.

Fabulous resort

We loved our stay at the Riu Palace Paradise island. Our room was large, clean and very comfortable. The resort is beautiful, well laid-out. We loved having the option of the two pools and the beach so close-by. We've been to many resorts and the beach at the Paradise Island is one of the nicest and the staff the nicest. They were just awesome and really made our vacation. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would come back ourselves.

Very good resort

This resort was really good... The breakfast, jerk chicken lunch and a La cartes were amazing. All the workers were really friendly especially LG and keno they were really helpful and friendly. Would recommend this resort

Fantastic! My second visit!

I liked this Riu so much I returned again this December. It is about a 3-3.5 hour flight and a 45 min from the airport so it’s great for a quick getaway. Both times I chose the Thursday - Sunday option and considering it again next year. Food and beverage - pretty great, a huge variety of items to choose from. Amazing salad bar, always meats, cheeses, fish, chicken, vegetables, pizza, pasta, paninis, bruschetta, seafood, fresh fruit, ice cream,you name it! The beverages are the best that [... read more] I’ve had at any all inclusive type resort (I’ve also traveled to Jamaica/Dominican/ Mexico/Cuba so I have experienced many). They have a martini bar and make a mean Espresso Martini! You can get lattes, espresso, or cappuccino every morning and throughout the day as there’s a coffee bar that’s open in the lobby. I’m pThe process for eating in their a la Carte restaurants is a strange one. I feel it may just be due to whatever administrative costs are associated with managing reservations but it’s firat come first serve and people line up to an hour ahead of time if you wanted to eat in the a la Carte restaurants. The first seating is at 6:30 and second at 9. This recent visit I didn’t bother to plan to wait in line and stuck with the buffet. Last time I had the Japanese restaurant and we ended up going to the buffet after anyways. They also have room service! Sun - the beach is absolutely incredible and the lifeguard will get the beach chairs for you or at least find you some. Beautiful white sand with aqua blue waves. There’s a smaller swim up bar- infinity pool outside and a larger pool. This hotel is much smaller than any of the other resorts I’ve ever stayed in and it’s hotel style with 15 floors rather than spread out 2-3 levels. Guest rooms - excellent, clean, every room has an ocean view with a balcony. The toilets seem to run all the time so if you get a room with one that does, I don’t think it’s fixable. I would just close the bathroom door at night. There isn’t much night life, no disco or night club but I did dance in the martini bar last year, this year I really took it easy and relaxed which was entirely possible. The hotel is located right next to Atlantis so you can pop littering next store and explore this great big hotel. They have great shops at the Marina but nice to come back to your adult only resort :) In my professional life I work for a 5 star Hotel brand and would still come back to this hotel a 3rd time!

The best resort to stay at in the The Bahamas as per value for money!!!

The hotel/resort was right at the Paradise Island beach, and had amazing staff helping out 24x7. The resort had 4 restaurants on premises, each one unique and amazing in food quality and dining experience. The swim-up bar was the best part of the resort and the bar-tending staff was very polite. Another thing, housekeeping was punctual and kept the room sparkling clean each day. The resort was exactly as shown on the website. There was one thing which should be kept in mind, the room service men [... read more]u was not up to the mark. It just had 4 items, and the lady who answered the phone was pretty rude, but that's it. So I would recommend to eat at the restaurants in the resort, rather than ordering room service. Other than that, it was an amazing stay, and would love to visit again, when in The Bahamas.

Relaxing Place

The hotel staff were absolutely amazing! Food was great! Rooms were your average rooms but my view of the ocean was fabulous. I feel the hotel is catering more to the older guests. I think they need more entertainment and games. The entertainment staff were awesome but they don’t get a whole lot of time to do much with everyone. The hotel also defiantley needs to have music playing longer then 2 hours during the day. Nothing like “MUSIC” and drinks by the pool. Bahamas is beautiful!

Riu Palace Paradise Island

The hotel has been renovated and looks good but the pools are awkwardly placed. We upgraded our room to have a better view of the ocean but we could hear music and loud talkers even when our door was closed. The buffet was not the greatest. Not many choices. We went to one restaurant, the Steakhouse. My husband waited in line at 5:30 and we received an 8:00pm reservation. The food was terrible and cold. The beach was spectacular and there were many employees to help you set up your beach chairs  [... read more]and umbrellas. We thought we had a private beach , however, there were many locals and visitors at our beach. There were many people passing by trying to sell sea-do time, parasailing and beach bags. We ended up spending extra money and going to the Atlantis for dinner. If I ever went back to Bahamas I would stay at the Atlantis. Even though it may seem like more money, you definitely get what you pay for.

Agent had poor communication

Our travel agent asked our group of 13 to call to pay the deposit by the next day. Then she went on vacation. no one at the office could accept payment. Then when the balance was due, the exact same thing happened!

Wonderful resort

My sister and I where very impressed with the hotel, the service, all the staff, the food was excellent. We would go back there anytime as we enjoyed it so much. I would highly recommend The Riu Bahamas for anyone looking for a wonderful vacation.

Great Stay!!

Travelled with a large group of women..... lots for everyone to do or just do nothing! A four day get-away was perfect for us busy moms - long enough to get a break but not too long for the dads at home to "hold down the fort". Loved the beach, loved the pools, loved the free pouring drinks..... night live could be ramped up however, the shows were good. Super Fun Time overall - we will book again next year FOR SURE!

Beautiful resort!

I had a very relaxing and enjoyable vacation. The resort was very clean and and very modern. The ocean was crystal clear and the beach was amazing. The staff were very pleasant and for the most part very helpful.
