We, too, were skeptical after we booked and reviewed the hotel. Well, thankfully, we were so happy we went the RIU. The buffet was terrific, lots of variety. The drinks were plentiful and the beach was excellent. Turquoise water and warm enough to want to swim in. I don't know what people expect. Never stayed anywhere that was perfect. Place... More

Loved the Bahamas and Paradise Island. The RIU resort was super. It is all inclusive and some of the best food that I have eaten at an all inclusive; especially the buffet. The beach/water is beautiful and the service is terrific. The bartenders, cleaning staff and food folks are extremely friendly and helpful. The entertainment is not very good. This... More

We booked our trip and were a little scared because some of the reviewers complained of this or that. If you are older folk and have traveled the world in high class, because you were smart and planned your retirement out right, then yes, this is not for you. Go spend your money at the pricey Atlantis, why save it... More

Don't believe all the bad reviews on this hotel. We were very happy with our stay at the Riu last week. The place was clean, employees were very friendly and helpful and the food was wonderful. We had a room on the 15th floor, and yes you do have to wait sometimes for the elevator but not for very long.... More

I stayed for four nights with family members in late January, 2012. The location is very nice, with a beautiful little beach and great views (we were on the 14th floor, even numbered room so we did not have the pool view, which was a plus to me). The pool temp was great. One day, there was a waitress for... More

I was very disappointed in this hotel. I really am not a fan of all inclusives and for good reason. Cheap booze, and lower standards. This was the same. The gym, which i was looking forward to was the WORST i have ever experienced. It smelled like cat urine...half the machines were broken, others were from another century and no... More

We stayed at Riu in September, 2011, but I am just now submitting a review (oops). We ended up at Riu because we had booked at Breezes, but since they sustained hurricane damage we were relocated to Riu. Riu is near Atlantis, with a very long white sand beach. Nice large lobby area with a bar. Our room had a... More

just returned from Paradise Island Riu, food was good, entertainment good, but if your a beach sun bather, not the place.. it is shaded most of the day.. even the pool area.. we actually carried chairs down to the next resort just to lay in the sun. We had a wedding at the RIU and they did a great job.... More

We had a really nice view from our room facing the right side facing the south. The food was excellent. I was a little worried by some reviews, but we decided to wait and form our own opinions. Every other day, we would spend on the beach. We just asked one of the umbrella renters to follow us to a... More
