Our trip was from January 31 to Feb 4th 2010. We landed late on Thursday, flying on SkyService. All I will say about them is low budget flying has definate cons, don't expect to be on time arriving to departing. Their two staff members at the airport cannot possibly check in an entire airplane of passengers in two hours. The... more

My husband and I landed Thursday morning at 9 a.m. We traveled via Sky no service but that's another story. We were at the hotel by 10 a.m and although we didn't get a room right away we were given a bracelet and were allowed to eat and drink all we wanted right away. We were also allowed to make... more

First off, the weather in the Bahamas is dicey in January and February so dont blame bad weather on the staff or the island, that is up to you to research. The hotel was just fine. Dont listen to the bad reviews unless you are so ridiculously picky. The rooms are clean and updated. There is unlimited booze, water and... more

My husband and I spent two weeks at the Riu in July of 2008; the first week with our entire extended family for our wedding, and the second week by ourselves for our honeymoon. We had a beautiful room right at the front of the building with a spectacular ocean front view of the beach. The service was excellent, the... more

Fabulous place to go. From Ontario, it's a short flight (3hrs) which is great if you don't really like flying. The facility is really nice, the people and service are excellent. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The food was amazing, so much variety, everything very tasty and accessible. The beach is fabulous, the weather was very good This hotel... more

It actually became a joke by the 4th day. We were traveling with my parents and everyday we would ask each other "what towels did you get today?". There was only one day on the entire trip that we got 2 bath, hand, wash clothes. They even ran out of towels at the pool and we had to wait for... more

We were very pleased with our recent visit to the Riu Palace - Paradise Island. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our room was clean and well maintained during our 4 day stay. When we needed towels, on two occassions, they were brought to our room within 5 minutes! We cannot compare this Riu hotel to other Riu facilities,... more

We have been to two other Riu resorts before adventuring here and I have to say that this resort has some pros and cons. Last year we stayed at Riu Palace Riveria Maya and it was surely a PALACE!!!!! The Riu Palace Paradise Island is considered a palace, but doesn't compare to other palaces in the Riu chain. This left... more
