Bahama Mama Mia does this Riu have it all. And then some. Let's start with the dreamy, three-mile stretch of silky sand, where you can chillax, get your drink on (and on - no one's counting) and ignore the world, or hit a game of beach volleyball and burn some calories. And that's just the tip of the beachberg. Toggle between the Jacuzzi at the epic infinity pool and indulge in stress-ousting treatments at the lush spa aka Relaxation Central, or hit the slots next door and hang at the always-festive, hip bars until the sea cows come home. Is that a "yes" we hear? When might we expect you?

HORRIBLE-ROBBED AT THE RESORT
The RIU Palace Paradise island is a joke!! Our property was stolen at the pool and the resort and security were just horrible about it. The right didn't know what the left was doing. Everyone had a different story- everyone kept giving incorrect email addresses. We checked out and still have yet to hear any feedback! Ruined our whole trip as I needed my PRESCRIBED SHADES to see. The WORST experience with UNPROFESSIONALISM and THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!
Absolutely never staying at this resort again and no one should ever use majestic tours. Today was our last day and after checking out we gave our luggage to the staff because they said that they would hold on to it before our shuttle picks us up in less than 2 hours. Arrive early back to the lobby to find out that our luggage isn’t here. After talking to 3 completely useless people they say that they put our luggage on a different shuttle and it’s at the airport. After waiting 30 minutes for the late bus we now have to go to the airport and hope our things are there. Worst experience
The hotel was very clean staff friendly and helpful food in all restaurant’s was excellent. Room was very nice cleaned every day . Bar in room great only thing husband doesn’t like Heineken that was only beer in room but they did have light beer on tap. We are planning on going back same time feb 2021 . Would 100% recommend this hotel and beach was lovely too.
This was the first time to a Riu resort. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this resort on Paradise Island. Food was very good, with (4) individual restaurants and huge buffet. If you would like to eat at one of the restaurants you should get in line at 5:30 pm. If you prefer to eat later you can reserve a later time and they will give you a beeper. You can then go to your room, relax, shower, and dine later. Staff was super-helpful and friendly! We had an ocean view room which looked over the beautiful aqua blue waters. The hotel recommended a terrific snorkel trip to Stuarts Cove. We were picked up and returned by Stuarts bus. Taxi is the best way to get around. We took one into the shops in Nassau(cost was less than $20). Pool and swim up bar were both clean and lots of fun! Only suggestion would be for the resort to offer larger bed pillows, more hooks for damp clothes, and a clock in the room. Other than that, I highly recommend the Riu.

There are no horseback riding tours offered as part of the packages to the Bahamas, however you might be able to get some additional information regarding other excursions available in the area through the Bahamas Tourism website - www.bahamas.com.
KateB
We did not select this trip, but I did talk to another vacationer who had done a horse ride along the beach and they said it was awesome.
Indianna
yes, you can they offer horseback riding on the beach, you can sign up at most hotel adventure agents
2glovegolfer
Not sure but I would think so. Email the hotel or Tourism.
Reded
You'll have to contact the tour companies for an answer.
vegas
There is an excursion for horseback riding but it is pretty pricey. It is on the opposite side of the main island and would be a full day.
Melebean
No
Mespina
Yes there is. For an additional cost at a different location.

Beach umbrella11 answers
I know that the Riu Palace at Paradise Island does not offer beach umbrellas - is there somewhere one can be rented?
8 years, 108 months ago
twobutlers
The Dreams hotel we stayed out had umbrellas, towels, lounges and on the beach drink service...
JoeG
We did not look elsewhere. There were plenty of beautiful palm trees on the beach that if you wanted shade, it was found.
Indianna
Yes! There are private companies owned by the government on the beach to rent umbrellas. The charge is approximately $25 per day.
MariaCC
There is plenty of coverage on the beach with chairs and umbrellas.
shinkie
I am confused. One of the reviews that I read said no beach umbrellas. But one of the answers to my question indicated there were beach umbrellas. I am going to purchase one to take with me if there are none. Would some who has stayed at the Riu Palace before please clear up my confusion. Thank you!
twobutlers
You can rent them on the beach for $25 per day.
Pattigirl
It does offer beach umbrellas and there are plenty of them.
Happyinparadise
I've gotten complimentary chairs on the Riu Beach and see umbrella's everywhere. Not sure if they are also complimentary, but I know they are available.
Roxie1996
yes you can rent an umbrella on the beach right on the beach from vendors
muddymont
$25 for the entire day use of an umbrella, always offered!
DianaJam
I didn't use an umbrella, but i'm pretty sure they have them. in any case, there is a public access beach right next to Riu's beach, and definitely had umbrellas to rent.
carola
you can rent them at the beach the locals are out there early morn til close you can barter the price i suggest you do and you can also bargain for a price for the week they will set up chairs and umbrella a soon as you start down the stairs

According to the website there is not a casino on the Riu property but there is one at the Atlantis, which is a 5-minute walk.
twobutlers
No there is not.
Ninilicious
yes there is a very small casino.
suunymiche
No, there is not a casino at the Riu, however, there is a casino at the Atlantis which is just down the street.
Tatic
No Casino, but right next to the Atlantis
ODOSOU
No casino on site, but the Atlantis is literally just steps away.
KimG
The casino is in the Atlantis complex. The Atlantis is just across the entrance way, 2 min walk from door to door. Once you get into the Atlantis, it's about a 5 min walk thru their building. their is an Atlantis entrance closer to the actual casino, and you could easily get a taxi from the front door of the Riu to that entrance if you have trouble walking.
Roxie1996
there is not a casino on sight but you are right next door to the atlantis,which you can easily walk to
muddymont
It is a five min walk into the atlantis to go to the casino, we did that everyday. It was awesome!
DianaJam
not on property, but right next door at Atlantis, a 5 minute walk

What is the difference in a Jr. Suite Oceanview and a Jr. Suite Superior Oceanview? Does anyone that has stayed at the Riu Palace know?
8 years, 108 months ago
twobutlers
My daughter and her boyfriend stayed their last month and the only difference was that the Superior had jacuzzi tub in the room in a winding staircase but the layout of the room was identical so they stayed in the junior suite instead of paying the extra money. Wasn't worth it just for the tub.
LouF1954
I think it is close to the water.
Happyinparadise
I stayed there in October in a superior ocean view, and was on the 10th floor. Last weekend I stayed in the plain oceanview, and was on the 4th floor. Same side of the building, just on a lower floor. Room was the same.....amazing and the view was the same.
Roxie1996
the difference is the size of patio and position in jr suite you are able to sea ocean and a great view the other is straight away we stayed in jr suite you are really out enjoying the scenery more than from your room
icky54
I assume Superior Oceanview means better view of the ocean and probably a few dollars more per day. It may be a classification used by the hotel for different types of rooms.
benitocarmen50
I believe its a more spacious room - with a larger balcony closer to the ocean view - hotel sits vertical to ocean so the more expensive room is almost as close as you can get to the ocean. Room/Balcony def larger.
BahamaMamma
sorry don't know the difference
2glovegolfer
Superior means you get the best view of the ocean because technically every room seems to have some view of the ocean even if from the side.
Sparkles
The superior sweet is the end room on each floor so there is only 1 per floor, and the room is much larger, with a huge balcony! But really the junior sweet is very big with a huge bed and balcony, so it's not really worth the money for the bigger room, unless you have kids.
DDan4th
I'm not definite. But I believe that all the rooms are the same. The difference might be how much of an oceanview you may receive. I think the Superior Oceanview rooms are on the 11-15th floors where the Jr Suites are the lower floors.
cberry
The superior gives you 1 extra chair in the same sized room...LOL
FrequentFlyer
I just stayed there and my answer is that the Oceanview has a side angled view of the ocean (still good) and the Superior Oceanview has a more front facing view.

why does the pool close so early????6 answers
8 years, 101 months ago
becky
Hi Becky,
Rest assured, you are able to use the pools after 6PM. The lifeguards leave for the day at that time and any swimming after that hour is permissable but at your own risk. Additionally, the beach never closes!
ccsusan1
Any all-inclusive I've been to in the Caribbean all close around 6:00.
I think it's for the better, can you imagine all the drunks that would be partying. Not to say I.m not a drinker but all day at the pool drinking is enough for me.
There might be insurance issues too.
naha54
The pool is open, but just at your own risk. I saw some people in the pool even after dinner sometimes. Just bring your towels back the next day to make sure that you receive your towel cards.
cberry
Very good question! We asked ourselves the exact same question when we were there. It closes at 6pm and there are no lights in the pool for night swims. If I were to guess, I would say they are catering more to the wants of the staff than to the customer. I would email them that question.
Reded
It closes basically when the sun goes down.
vegas
Don't really know the answer to that unless it's because of all the free booze.....don't want anyone getting drunk and falling in?
Melebean
There are two sittings for dinner 6:30p and 8:30p and there are entertainment (shows or bands) at night.
Ann62
Honestly I have no clue. However, the only problem we had with the pool closing early was the bar closing in that area. The pool is nasty!!! You won't want to swim in it anyways. We used it one time to sit at the bar. While sitting there we were disgusted with the water.

DanielleCC
There is no cost to enter the casino and it is just a short walk (10 minutes) through the interior of the complex. While walking there is lots to see and plenty of shops.

There is not cost to enter Atlantis. RIU is next door to Atlantis and about a five minute walk to the casino.
vegas
There is no cost to enter the casino at Atlantis:) We had a couple days of "icky" weather and headed over there to burn some time while waiting for the sunshine!! Just make sure u enter thru the hotel itself, we tried to walk the beach back to Riu one day when leaving and got stopped right at the door because we were not registered hotel guests, oops:(
CK3121
No cost to enter the casino but you may leave your money there! Access is very easy - walk down the driveway at the Riu and up the driveway next door, follow through the interconnecting buildings of the Atlantis and there you are. 5 minutes unless you stop to shop or take pictures along the way.

There is NO cost to enter the casino at Atlantis.
The Atlantis is next door to the RUI Hotel.

You'll have to get with the tour companies situated in the hotel lobby. Majestic Tour company is what I used.
vegas
You are able to book excursions prior to travel with your vacation package or directly with Majestic Tours while in destination. These excursions can be viewed during the online booking process.
MariaCC
Free activities include pool games, ping pong, afternoon dance/water aerobics (way more fun than it sounds!) and darts. Locals offer items for sale on the beach, jet ski rentals, banana boat rides and fishing trips. Excursions include just about everything you can think of and can be scheduled through the Riu or next door at the Atlantis.

Not much at all. No water sports at all. They play with a hula hoop at the pool and do a limbo and juggling show. They also have a band in the evening. Nothing that is going to wow you.

How was the food? What does the Riu consider Imported and domestic beers? Did you have to pay additional for the specialty restaurants? Did they have entertainment in the evenings at the hotel?
7 years, 95 months ago
D
The food at this resort is very good and the specialty restaurants are great. They do not cost extra, but you do need to make reservations. I would suggest making your reservations as early as the resort will allow so that you don't miss out. They have entertainment, shows, every night.
ccsusan1
Food was excellent. Several choices of beer. No money is required at all and the entertainment was great.
Pattigirl
The food was good. We ate at the buffet for lunch and dinner and had breakfast brought up by room service. You do not have to pay extra for the speciality restaurants but you have to make reservations and you can only do that btw 8-9am. The have 2 or three brands of their beer and the had miller lite stocked in your room and they have heinekin. They have entertainment every night in the lounge bar and a 24 hour sports bar
barbiesunshine
The food in 2 of the 4 specialty restraunts was good. 2 not good and the buffet was good. You do not pay extra in the specialty restraunts but need to make reservations. Long pants only for the guys. The hotel has under par entertainment nightly and poolside during the day.
BostonWoody
the brunch was good, the restaurants were awful, we walked out of 2 of them only one i would recommend is sir alexander ( gourmet) no additional charge for the restuarants but can only sign up at 8:00am
in the morning at hotel. go early or there is a line
kass
Food excellent! No charge for specialty restaurants...included in the price. They are 5 star!!! Live music every evening and then some kind of show every night as well. Beers are Kalik or Sands. No imports.
Beachmama2012
The food was good. Even the pickiest eater can find something they will like. No extra charge for specialty restaurants but you must make reservations. Don't drink beer but the wine was decent. Entertainment was too loud for our taste.
ChubbieBubbie
the restaurants are good, the beers are local, no additional cost for specialty restaurants, entertainment ends quite early but you can go to the casino and clubs at Atlantis right next door.
Mespina
The food is absolutely awful. Miller lite was the only beer we seen that was imported. We did not try their domestic beers. You do not have to pay extra for the specialty restaurants but, good luck getting in. We were there for four days and were only able to get in for one night. So, we were pretty hungry our entire trip. No joking!!!! They did have entertainment however, it is mediocre at best!!!!
Hoosiermom
The food was very good, no you don't have to pay for the specialty restaurants, but you do need to get your name on the list for that evening. Yes they do have entertainment in the evenings at the hotel.

Also if you go to Atlantis after 7pm you can go to the indoor aquarium for free because they staff isn't checking room cards anymore!

No you cannot enter the beach at the Atlantis property while staying at the Riu, unless you purchase a day pass at Atlantis. The only other resort that has free access to the Atlantis property is the Comfort Suites Paradise Island.
CaitlinCC
No you can not...we were just walking on the beach sidewalk and were met by security...they were very rude...and we were just walking on the sidewalk back to the Riu. You have to enter from the street..just steps away from the Riu.
Divaardie
You can't enter Atlantis Beach at all, unless you are a guest of theirs or bought a day pass. They make it very clear you can't be on their beach unless you are a paid customer. RIU and Atlantis actually share a beach, however Atlantis ropes off their property.
LeilasHotMama
The Atlantis is on 144 acres. The beach that is alongside the Riu and Atlantis is open for everyone.
Hoosiermom
Yes. All the beaches on the ocean side are public and are accessible from Riu. Ocean can be very dangerous with undertows and current (one person drowned the day we arrived). This may not be the place to go if you want to do snorkeling. I never saw anyone do it the week we were there. There are snorkeling excursions but to different areas.

We actually saw the wedding ceremony here when we were there, it was on the beach but it was literally surrounded by crowds of onlookers in bathing suits! They had to bring in security bc a drunk old white guy in a speedo was trying to film the wedding on his phone and he was, no joke, right up on the family's seating area. LOOK ELSEWHERE.

The gym was decent. Small but enough equipment to get a workout in if you have to. You can walk through Atlantis to get to the casino and their shops and the Marina without paying. That part is all open to the public but you must pay to enter their outdoor pool/waterpark/aquarium exhibits. A daily pass can be purchased for $130/person.

I often thought about how you would be able to do this as a vegan/vegetarian OR esp with allergies. I noticed during the buffet that a lot of the food was prepared in the same pots/pans. Example: every guests omelette with own selected ingredients went into the same pan without being washed. I assume other dishes are prepared the same way. They also don't list the ingridents - are those pancakes gluten/dairy free? Who knows! They also don't as if you have food allergies. I domt think this would be doable for you any where.

The resort is very close to shopping and dining areas, there is public transportation as well as excursions that you can take.

Definitely take a taxi. They will wait for you. It may be pricy but worth the local experience. Our driver charged us $90 but we were out for a good 4 hours. The area we went to was about 15 minutes from Riu. Straw market is great.
ARos
Taxi or Majestic tours.
Perkibu
You can take a ferry from paradise island to Nassau, or a cab. The ferry was $4 each way per person, the cab we heard was about $11- but quicker...either works, we took the ferry. And they have a guy that works for tips on the ferry that tells you about the island.
Merry101
Take ferry for $4-5 ...faster and cheaper than driving via cabcab and you get to see the cruise ships up close.
Jfrerx
we took a cab to go downtown and the ride was about 10-15 mins from the hotel.
WORK2VACATION
Taxis, at all times in front of the resort and cheap! only $4.00 each way PP
Beachgirly
It is easy to go into Nassau. Take a taxi for $13 one way. It is about 3 or 4 miles. Takes 15 minutes. Once downtown, everything is walking distance. Once tired, just grab another cab (Look for the yellow license plate) and another $13 back to the hotel. There are cabs everywhere. Need to site see? Just ask a cabbie what it will cost to go anywhere you want... they will take you. My Wife and I took a "historic" tour. Over 3 hours and it cost us only $125.00. I didn't think that was bad for 2 people. The taxi driver was well informed and we got private viewing of the area, not a tour bus with 30 people going to areas that maybe you want to see, and maybe you don't. Much more personal.

Yes it's a short walk next door to Atlantis. You can purchase a day pass to different adventures at Atlantis. If you just want to go walk around and look at the exhibits go after 6:30 pm. If you want to have dolphin, sea lion, or sting Ray encounter it is much cheaper to go to Blue lagoon Island and have that experience and spend the day there as boats returned at 1,2, & 4pm. There is food on island but quite expensive. You can book that through agent in hotel lobby or walk short distance to building adjacent to jimmy buffets margeritaville and book individual or package deals.

Do we have access to the water park with the all inclusive package?5 answers
We were wondering if the water park was included in the all inclusive package deal
4 years, 49 months ago
Casey
No--Not a part of the RIU all inclusive plan meal/drink. However, as you check in, excursion agents are visible for bookings for just about anything on New Providence and other islands.
If your question is directed at a CheapCaribbean or travel package plan, they will have to answer.
HazelandMolly
No, access to the water park does not come included with a vacation package to this resort.
SalCC
No, it's not. Atlantis is a different hotel resort with a water park, a short walk away. You can pay for day passes to the Atlantis waterrpark. Not sure of pricing though.
wishfultraveler
No, you have to pay separately for the Atlantis day pass, I believe it was $150 per person!
they have cardio equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, and stationary bikes. Please remember that the gym equipment can change at any time.

Nice excerise area with a little of free weights and good cardio equipment.

Dumbbells, a universal gym and a few several cardio machines but I don't recall if they were treadmills or ellipticals

All of the above
GuruMcNeese
There are 3 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 2 bikes and a few free weights. A small weight machine that allowed for lap pulls, chest press, etc. Pretty small and it's packed in the morning. After 9 is wasn't usually too bad.

from the airport to the resort , is it best to get a cab at the airport to go to the resort or book it with my trip, which is cheaper ?5 answers
3 years, 42 months ago
lovely
i would say take the shuttle to the hotel and book the shuttle with your trip
WORK2VACATION
We recommend purchasing the shuttle, this way you have guranteed and pre-booked transportation. As far as costs go and which is cheaper, this can vary as the cab fares are not always regulated, as well as something we cannot price out for you as we would be unable to arrange this.
JeannieCC
Do it with your ticket it's cheaper and it's not far from hotel either cabs will charge you too much.
MB91616
Avoid a cab. Book ride from airport to hotel when booking trip.

Book round trip with majestic tours when booking your trip. Much less headache and cost than taking local cabs.

we were told by a fellow hotel guest that it was free after 7pm, but we found out it is not actually intended to be free - it's just that the staff stationed at the entrance leaves & you can 'sneak in'
ChicagoGal
Yes it's true. We did it! I recommend waiting as it was very cool but I would have been disappointed if I paid $42 to go.
Mimi131313131
Yes is what I hear. We didn't find out until we were leaving the cab driver asked if we visited it and said you can go to it after 5 or 6 because guards get off work around then so nobody checks wrist bands afterwards. Wish I knew this I heard its awesome, but we did go to Casino and all the shops which you can do anytime.

Yes, Many of the restaurants do have dress codes. Each dress code is listed in the restaurants description.
CCCasey
None specified other than a cover up or slip must be worn in restaurant during lunch.
MNtrvlr
The only dress codes are for the 4 specialty resturants. I believe it was no Shorts and no Sleeveless shirts. Otherwise women have to wear a cover up over their swimsuits in the hotel, but that is it... the buffett and all the bars are pretty laid back
BKWK
Sort of.
At the buffet, no. I saw everything from bathing suits (with cover ups on) to formal dress. I wore jeans and a shirt each day.
The other restaurants (there are 4) require men to wear a collared shirt. We went to the steakhouse and I wore a summer dress and my husband wore a collard shirt and khaki pants.
Mimi131313131
Only at the Fusion restaurant do men have to wear long pants. Other than that they can wear shorts. It was pretty casual even at the sit down restaurants. Women are in sundresses, ets.

TimCC
No, it is not included in the RIU price. It will cost approx $100 per person to use the facilities at the Atlantis for the day. I believe you are correct in that the Comfort Suites has the use of the Atlantis Property, but the Comfort Suites are not all inclusive, and meals are very expensive on the island.
BKWK
No. Nothing for the Atlantis was included in our price. No discounts either. $42 to go to the aquarium at the Atlantis but we were able to go for free after 6pm. You have to pay full price for the water park and all excursions the Atlantis offers (dolphin swim, sting ray feeding, etc.) All very very expensive.
Mimi131313131
You can go to Atlantis from the Riu but to participate in any of the Atlantis activities, you’ll need a day pass. There is an excursion concierge in the Riu lobby that can help book that for you. I believe it’s about $40 per person.
SandyEverywhere
I heard the same about Comfort Suites. And the RIU does not provide this discount to get into the Atlantis. It is free to go to the Casino and shops but that is about it.

For a party of this size, you would likely need two rooms, one adult and one teenager in each. Teenagers over the age of 12 are often considered an adult. The maximum occupancy for the rooms we offer is as follows:
Max occupancy: 4
Max adults: 3 (w/ no children)
Max adults: 2 (w/ up to 2 children)
Maximum Occupancy: 3 adults & 1 child (0-12), or 2 adults & 2 children (0-12).

TimCC
No dolphin swim is included. There is a dolphin swim very close in the Atlantis hotel, as well as an excursion to a local island to swim (Blue Lagoon). Either will cost about the same approx. $100, but the Blue Lagoon is really nice for a couple reasons. 1 is that you get to take a short boat ride to the island (their own private island) which takes approx 30 minutes to get to, Once there, you can swim with dolphins, or sea lions, have your own beach and water toys, as well as a small meal. My wife and I took this trip.Loved it!
BKWK
No.
tangy
No , however next door at the Atlantis you can book for a fee..

Riu Palace Paradise Island (Adults-Only): All-Inclusive Bahamas Bonanza
Bahama Mama Mia does this Riu have it all. And then some. Let's start with the dreamy, three-mile stretch of silky sand, where you can chillax, get your drink on (and on - no one's counting) and ignore the world, or hit a game of beach volleyball and burn some calories. And that's just the tip of the beachberg. Toggle between the Jacuzzi at the epic infinity pool and indulge in stress-ousting treatments at the lush spa aka Relaxation Central, or hit the slots next door and hang at the always-festive, hip bars until the sea cows come home. Is that a "yes" we hear? When might we expect you?
