Jan 20, 2025Lost a Great Rating Due To Roaches
I have this resort a 3 due to the roaches— otherwise, I’d rate it a STRONG 4!! I’ll start with the negative… When we arrived on our 1st day, we had to go to the sports bar to eat because we had to wait until the buffet opened at 6:30. There were a group of roaches by the microwave. We were so surprised— we should have alerted staff but we didn’t. Fortunately for the resort all other restaurants seemed to be cleaner.. The rooms were a little dated and small but not horrible. It was FREEZING in the resort because it was cold outside. I asked could they turn the ac down in the resort but they said it was regulated according to the weather. My husband asked if they could turn the heat on and they laughed 😂. Bring long sleeves, pants, sweaters. I left there with a cold. They need to make the hot plates hotter— the food was damn near cold at the buffet. The coffee house opened at 10, which is late, but u can get coffee in the buffet and sports bar. The gym was small for all u gym heads like me. Luckily, we went in the afternoon, so we didn’t have any issues. Now for the good stuff!! I was GLAD the bed was soft ( we travel with blow up beds cause we’ve had some HARD beds) I was also glad that they use bleach to clean with in the rooms/ hallways— they need to try that in the sports bar. The food was GREAT in most of the restaurants. We always bring our own seasonings but we did really need them. Whoever the cooks are, they did a great job especially in the buffet and steak house—no complaints at all regarding food other than it being hotter. The staff were friendly!! I love late check out!

Jan 20, 2025Enjoyed PARADISE!
We decided on a qiuick trip to the bahamas and tried Riu for the fist time and was not disappointed! The staff was friendly and amazing, no complaints. The food was vert good but as a person with a sweet tooth , I thought the desserts lacked decadence , but the ice cream was great!

A nice weekend getaway
Riu is a decent resort. It is small with one pool, one pool bar, and limited activities. We traveled for a quick weekend getaway and it was nice. Ask for a room upgrade so you have more privacy and quiet. The majority of rooms have an adjoining room/door and the noise from neighbors is loud. We moved to a larger suite without an adjoining room and it was much better. Also, stay on the quiet side, sunrise side. The other overlooks the pool area which is very loud. The rooms were clean and adequate. The food was very good in the buffet. It is darn near impossible to get into one of the table service restaurants and when we did the food was not good. There is a bar open 24/7 with snacks, coffee, and drinks. It was a nice space. Terry the day shift manager is a dream! The pool is loud and loud. There is a DJ that competes with the outside bar music and combined it is overwhelming. It was also not my kind of music and not "island" music. We sat on the beach everyday and walked up to the bar. The Jerk Chicken snack shed was delicious. We took a taxi to church on Sunday and it was amazing. You can also walk over to Atlantis and go shopping, casino, restaurants, and aquarium. It is something to do, but feels like commercial America. We will return to the bahamas one day, but find somewhere a little more secluded.

Repeat Guests
We loved every moment of our vacation! From the front desk, the beach crew and everything in between we had no issues. We had no issues getting dinner reservations, and the food was excellent. Beautiful beach with beautiful people. We will be returning !!

A week in Riu Palace Bahamas
We had a good time. The resort is nice, service is excellent, 5 restaurants with a great option of food. Pool area is good also. We got a little unlucky with weather, it was windy, but generally we had a good time.
