We had a really good time, despite some of the issues. But really, after finally getting our room, it was a generally positive experience. And for the price we paid, hard to really complain. I would not, however, pay more unless a ton of issues were resolved / improved. Positives - super amazing Bahamian people. They are really warm and... more

This recently renovated hotel has a wonderful location, friendly staff, interesting food and beverages. The sound of the surf is perfect. Beach is a little difficult to walk as it is not flat, but very clean. Be sure to ask for a room in the 24-32 to be closest to the water. The even numbers get the sunrise and the... more

We stayed at the Riu Palace Paradise Island from December 10-17th for our honeymoon. The hotel is not ready to be at a Palace level. We arrived a little early and were told to go to the lunch buffet and eat and come back when we were done to see if our room was ready. I read that on quite... more

We stayed at Riu in the Bahamas for 4 days in December. Hotel: About 45 minutes from the airport. The hotel is still going through renovations. It didn’t bother us, Hotel was clean and no noise like the other review stated. Great location. Right next door to Atlantis. Not even a 30 seconds walk to the Coral Tower (one of... more

We stayed at the hotel from december 5th untl the 12th. We had a Jr suite on the 12th floor and the room was beautiful. The fridge was always stocked full of beer and pop and also had an inroom liquor dispenser. The sand was really soft because every morning they would clean the beach with a tractor. The hotel... more

Just back from the RIu. The main part of the hotel looks very much the same for those who have been there before. There are some new things such as a sports bar and a new Al la carte ( didn't try ). The buffet is still as good as I remember. The big changes are in the rooms. They... more

My husband and I were at the Riu from Dec 3 to the 10th flying out of toronto. The location is great and the beach was very nice. While the hotel is a work in progress after their renovations and the completion of their remaining renovations- the hotel staff was extremely nice and helpful. The food was decent, not the... more

My husband and I just got back from a long weekend at the RIU Palace, and overall, we had a great time. I agree with others that there still needs to be some work/improvements done, but they are certainly on their way to running a five-star hotel. The Fusion restaurant was excellent, as was the buffet. Didn't try the Gourmet... more

My husband and I enjoyed a 3 night stay at the Riu. The room was newly renovated and the bed was super comfortable. The staff overall tried hard to offer great service but check in was slow and missing towels had to be requested 2X. The pool is ok. The beach was nice but the drop off into deep water... more
