Riu Palace Paradise Island: Great Resort

Met the General Manager and he is a great guy. Looks after the resort very well. Staff are nice and place is extremely clean and well run.Jackie (Jacqueline) in main buffet is the biggest asset to the place. All service staff should be trained by her.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Comfortable friendly resort

Our Room was beautiful. Nice view of the beach. Food choice and quality was good. Service was excellent and very friendly. Drinks were strong and tasty. They kept the buffet open for our late evening arrival and opened it early for our early morning departure.

Sandals Royal Bahamian: Fantastic food, diving

- Private Island is super unique and fantastic - food is absolutely fantastic - diving is completely included and was really good. - rooms are lovely and fully stocked with alcohol - pools and hot tubs are wonderful but can be a little chilly

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Amazing Beach

Hotel is at a great location on public Cabbage Beach, but it does get busy both from hotel users and locals (who walk the beach selling stuff). The Beach has beautiful soft sand, is cleaned every day and the ocean is so clear. Next door to Atlantis Resort. Easy to do a day trip downtown via Ferry 10 min walk away. Hotel rooms have a fusty smell but ok if you aren't in your room much. Food was good but hard to get a reservation for steakhouse unless you line up early in advance of it openin [... read more]g.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Beautiful resort

4 day stay, Thursday-Sunday, hotel was very clean, beach was spectacular, but wished you didn’t have to line up 1 hour before making reservations for the specialty restaurants. Room was beautiful (ocean front) but the pillows were horrible. Second time coming to this resort and will definitely return. Food at buffet was very good, not always hot as usual at a buffet.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Go somewhere else...

We went to a Riu resort in Aruba in September of 2019 and absolutely loved everything about it, service, food absolutely amazing. When booking Bahamas, we thought, its a Riu will be amazing! Especially considering price. Nope. We had a late flight with Sunwing, arrived at the hotel Sunday, February 9th around 11:30 pm. Our flight back home was the following Sunday at 9:45PM. When we got to the hotel we were told late check out was on first come first serve basis. On Tuesday morning we asked  [... read more]about late check-out, we were told "Sorry nothing is available"..we asked again every day and got the same robotic response, all the while, we met another couple who got late checkout for 2PM vs 12PM only because they had a complaint every single day about service, cleanliness and other issues. After lots of complaining the resort gave them a 5PM checkout and we actually used their room to shower before leaving for our flight. The frustrating part about this is that there was no way the resort was full, they simply chose to not provide late check out to their guests and Sunwing is also to blame for not making these arrangements to begin with knowing that guests have a late flight. They expect you to check out at noon and then what? Go to the beach and get on a plane full of sand and sunscreen? Or the alternative is to waste the day lying around in which case you're better off with an early flight anyway! We expressed our concern to the Sunwing rep at the resort, they did not give a s**t. The hotel also mentioned our luggage would be locked in a room and we would have access during the day, well the luggages were out in the lobby anyone could go and say oh yeah that's my luggage and then gone! Moving along, the food at the buffet, let's just say I ate better in Cuba than here. There is no variety, every single day you're presented with the same dishes, rice, some kind of meat stew, pizza, bruschetta, burgers and hot dogs. There are no live pasta stations or grill stations like other resorts, this was a first for me, I've been to about 10 different resorts and they ALL provide grilling and pasta stations or some sort of daily dish that is the "feature" for that day. The jerk chicken they make by the pool was the best option, but you get sick of it, because again, same thing every single day. I am not a picky eater at all but the food was really really disappointing. The A La Cartes are a freaking disaster. They don't take reservations. People line up for the Steak house at 4:45/5pm!!!!!! They open at 6PM! Now here's the fun part. We managed to get a spot for the Steak house one of the days, actually happened to be Valentines Day, and while we were in there, we saw multiple people get turned down. The restaurant was literally half empty so we thought maybe there's guests with buzzers waiting to get called down. Didn't happen. We had dinner and left and the restaurant remained half empty (we got there for dinner at 7:30 pm). They turned people who wanted to enjoy a nice dinner away just because, saying "Sorry we're fully booked", meanwhile the place is empty, what the hell??? Entertainment at this resort is by far the worst I've ever seen. The Michael Jackson show had people leaving 10 minutes in. No offence to the performers/staff but 1) he looked nothing like Michael Jackson, which in comparison to other resorts was "interesting" and 2) he could not dance...they had a different guy come on stage to do the moonwalk to "Billie Jean"...Another night they had what they called a "White Party"...well nobody was wearing white because 1) it was not advertised and 2) it was INDOORS! All white parties I've been to in resorts are always either on the beach or by the pool. So yeah there was maybe 10 people wearing white and also it was not a party, nobody was dancing except for the entertainers, everyone was just at the bar and most people leave to go to the Atlantis, which is the only good thing about staying at this resort as you're a 5 minute walk from that amazing resort. After the "show" there is literally nothing to do at the resort so we would always walk over to the casino at Atlantis and tour around there and the premises. Staff - most of them are nice people I didn't really have any terrible experience, but not an exceptional one either. However, one of the couples that flew back with us went to breakfast at the buffet one morning, asked a lady for cutlery for their table, she pointed over at a different table and said "there's some there, get it yourself"...WOW! Talk about the audacity. This is the same couple that was awarded with the late check out, they really had a terrible experience this is just one of the things that happened to them. Another couple we met, also went for breakfast and asked to be seated outside in the small patio. One of the servers said, "Sorry we don't have enough staff to clean a table outside right now"...I was literally astonished. Beach - the beach is beautiful and water is amazing, however it does get rough, the first and last day we were there it was a red flag but other days was really nice its crystal clear, and very clean. I loved the Bahamas, but I absolutely disliked and was extremely disappointed with my experience at the Riu. I will not be returning to this resort. We met at least 20 other people coming back on the same flight as us that had the same and worst complaints, every person expressing their disappointment towards the hotel. When you pay so much money to be somewhere and get this kind of service, its really frustrating. And shame on Riu for not caring enough to make their guests experience more enjoyable. I would go back to the Bahamas, but surely would not stay here.

Melia Nassau Beach Resort: Relaxing family vacation!

Our family spent one week here in February and had a great time! The beach was beautiful! We really enjoyed taking long walks down it. The food was great at the buffet, many different choices, so the kids always ate well. The pool area was great for the kids! The staff was helpful and friendly. Only downfalls about the resort would be having to ask for water and mini fridge restocking. Most days they forgot to do our room. Our room was a walk out on the main floor. It was spacious enough for us, [... read more] even with the cot between the two beds. It was however, very dated. Pretty sure it was the original hotel. They should renovate this area. Definitely get rid of the carpet in the hallways! All and all, a great vacation. Close bus ride to the airport, downtown area and even paradise island. We will visit again!

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Fantastic resort!

This hotel was amazing, staff was friendly and extremely helpful. The grounds were clean and beautiful. The restaurants were first class and the atmosphere was superb. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing holiday or a piece of paradise.

Breezes Bahamas: Excellent Resort

Everything about the facility met our expectations, location, staff, cleanliness, food / meals, etc good value for the price. Located within easy commute to downtown for shopping we enjoyed travelling by bus which provided reliable and economical transport. We came away totally satisfied with our vacation and would highly recommend this resort.

Grand Hyatt Baha Mar: Amazing resort

Hotel and grounds are immaculate. The pictures you see do not do the resort justice. Only down side to the resort is that the casino is in the middle of the hotel so you have to pass thru it for anything you want to do in the resort

Breezes Bahamas: breezes spa and resort nassau

hotel was dated ,however room was clean and comfortable.food was excellent and staff was great.nightly entertainment could be refreshed.beach was beautiful and pool area was good.only one restaurant was open each night causing a long wait.they need to the another restaurant open .staff was knowledgeable and helpful.

Breezes Bahamas: Wonderful Holiday at Breezes Cable Beach

Resort is old and could use a little uplift however rooms are clean, food is excellent and staff is beyond amazing! Beach is beautiful and great for walking. Evening entertainment a bit redundant, piano bar sing alongs great ! Buffet great quality of food and variety very good. Three Restaurants on site all very good however you are not able to prebook so you need to go early to get in line for the first setting or wait for the second. That aside we had a wonderful week and I would definite [... read more]ly return!!!

Breezes Bahamas: Fantastic Resort

The resort is the gem of the bahamas. The room are nice and the staff are great at looking after you. The pools are very nice and one of the few resorts with a large hot tube. Everthing is close and the entertainment is great. The food is in a word wonderful. This is worth a second look for heading on vacation. I love this resort.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Good trip!

Overall it was a good trip. Good food. Good service. Good night club. Close to Atlantis for the casino and more nightlife. No complaints other than the lack of any substantial late night food. It’s an adult resort geared towards night time fun but doesn’t give any late night food, other than stale burgers and hotdogs that need to be microwaved.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Good value

The service was exceptional and everybody was so nice. The hotel room was clean. There was a big selection of food. The a la carte was first come first serve and often at 6 o’clock, there was no more seating left. The buffet was better than the restaurants with the exception of the steakhouse. The lobster was great. The bar/night club is 24 hours but on Saturday night the DJ left at 11:30 pm and there was no entertainment at all that night. There is not much in respect to entertainment [... read more] at all. The beach was lovely but super packed and crowded.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Wonderful Stay!

This was a fantastic resort to escape to. My husband and I had a great time. The staff are friendly and so accommodating. The hotel is so clean And the beach was beautiful. The only negative feedback is the smell of the lobby. It is not because the lobby is not clean ,they are constantly scrubbing and polishing and visually it is beautiful. I do believe it is the water that they are using to clean with that has a sewage smell to it. There is no doubt about it that there is an odour when you en [... read more]ter the lobby and I believe it’s just what their unfiltered water smells like. The odour sometimes comes up the drain as well in the room. I think that if they were to put a deodorizer of some sort in the water that the cleaning with it would certainly make a difference. Overall a wonderful place to stay with this exception.

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Beautiful clean resort!

Four of us travelled to Bahamas for the first time and absolutely fell in love. the resort, rooms, food areas etc. were all super clean....thumbs up to the staff. The food was INCREDIBLE!!! We just couldn't eat enough of it.....eat eat eat:) The beach was breath taking, the water a perfect blue. We would all stay at the Riu Palace Paradise Island again....just longer next time. 3 nights definitely was not long enough. We fell in love with this resort and Paradise Island!

Riu Palace Paradise Island: Loved it

Second time here- food is great and awesome drinks and service! Really good for a large or small group trip. The rooms are perfect - clean, well stocked with all amenities and a great view both times.
