Riu Palace Paradise Island - Adults Only - All Inclusive

If you’re looking for a fantastic beach this is the place. The resort was nice and small and easy to maneuver, friendly staff , easy to make reservations. Food and drinks were good, lobby cafe was excellent along with Calypso Bar and 24 hour room service. Best part is no fight for beach chairs and umbrellas the staff brings out 2 chairs and 1 beach umbrella for you every morning! Definitely will be going back maybe this February!

I am not picky and travel all over. My only non-negotiable is cleanliness. This is my honest review. You can only check in at the designated check in time. If you booked a package, checked in online, or requested early check in you may get lucky and get in your room early. I was given a welcome drink upon arrival. The food was typical RIU but I will say the Bahamian breakfast was great. There is no gift shop on the premises but you can walk to the shops and there is one directly across the street. The prices are a little insane but typical. A taxi ride to downtown Nassau is also worth it if you want to shop for cheaper. Lobby is small but clean and all of the restaurants are off of the lobby. RIU Palace is supposed to have robes and slippers, there were only robes and this was not palace level. Think boutique style all inclusive. A few areas I saw needed updating. There were three elevators and all were running. Saturday and Sunday the resort was sold out and we still did not wait more than a minute for an elevator. My room was freezing with the air conditioning and could not be changed. I turned the fan down and still froze. They do not skimp on alcohol at the pool bar. Purchasing a bottle of wine at dinner is not worth it for what they serve and the price. Get what you like at the airport. Restaurants usually have set dinner times 6:30, 7, 7:30. 8. I did the buffets for breakfast and lunch and booked dinners. Some restaurants are closed specific days during the week so check their schedule. Kulinarium was good. There are small portions but the food is decent. They had surf and turf but I don’t do beef. The grouper I had was overcooked but the Yuca was the best I ever had. Japanese restaurant was decent. They had mahi mahi and it was awful but the rest of the food was good. Bahamas Steakhouse staff were amazing at lunch and dinner. For dinner the food there is great and worth it if you can get in. Coffee is decent at the Capuchino. I always bring my Dominican or Cuban coffee wherever I go but I had no problem drinking their coffee. Coffee is served with milk so make sure you request cream wherever you go or you will get milk. My housekeeper was Sandra and she was amazing. All of the staff there make this place special. I saw some guests being extremely rude to the staff and it was unfortunate. They are not there to be downgraded. Despite the party place it is quiet and I slept great here. The bed was firm and pillows fairly new. The beach seems to be the place for the older adults to float and chill while I was there. It can be loud at times especially during holiday weekends. The hotel does have a policy for quiet in the hallways by 10 pm. Cons: I had to ask for to go cups in my room. Maybe it’s preference but I wanted coffee on the beach. Sand fleas: they are not as bad as other beaches I’ve been too but don’t go near your bed with sand and get the sand flea sunscreen.

My first time to Nassau the best part of this whole four days was the ocean. I would NOT recommend hotel RIU Extremely hot in the lobby in the dining areas and the bar . The whole first floor is extremely hot and humid. The coffee in dinning room and in the room not good coffee and went downstairs to the coffee shop and did not open TILL 10am what the HELL no coffee in four days ! The room had great view but the BED was an alley BED they picked up somewhere and threw it in the room worst mattress ever!!!! It was dirty and I can hope I did not catch anything !!! The sheets had holes in them and blankets were dirty with stains so we could not use those. For the amount of money this hotel makes they should invest in GOOD COFFEE and GREAT Marress s . They need to update the rooms and invest in good food in the dining area!!! This hotel is outdated and old and disgusting and for goodness sakes throw away the 1955 mattress I Slept ON GROSS!!!!!

We had a blast! The RiuFit and RiuFun Teams were awesome. The crazy games were fun and varied between trivia and game games like connect four and head,shoulders, knees, CONE! The night time entertainment was so good!! Thanks for a great vacation!!!

The resort was beautiful! The beach was perfect and the girls that worked in the Spa were amazing! The only issue was every night after dinner we wanted coffee with our dessert and it was such an issue due to a broke coffee maker. I feel they should have had a backup machine. Anyway we always got a cup but it definitely an inconvenience for the staff.
