Great hotel. Would love to go again. You should look it up
Staff made up for it, dining bartenders cleaning front desk and entertainment all were wonderful and cared .... very different than going to Cancun ... more relaxing and less stress about tipping every 5 minutes
Great vacation at the Riu! Perfect location to everything on Paradise Island! Beaches were Beautiful!All staff were great!Keno the bartender was Awesome!!Food was excellent! We cannot wait to go back!!
Water and beach were accessible. Great location to connect with Atlantis resort
Celebrated friend's birthday at Riu Had a great time Loved the beautiful view from our balcony and the great restaurants along with the convenience of casino being a short walk next door $4 taxi ride to Straw Market downtown and severel small shoppes across the street made it the perfect location for us
Great view of the ocean, food was amazing. The drinks were strong and good.
Our experience at the Riu was HORRIBLE. There were no signs posted anywhere near the restaurant or in the hotel stating that men could not wear a tank top to dinner, which was a buffet-style dinner, nothing fancy at all. As soon as my husband walked in the door, the restaurant manager rudely told him he had to leave and return with a shirt with sleeves. This was embarrassing for both of us, and we did not return that evening. We ordered room service which was a big joke. McDonald's would have been better. The chicken was very dry, the bread on the sandwich was tough and chewy. The chips were old and stale. Our room temperature felt like being in a freezer. I slept with pants, shorts over the pants, 2 tank tops, socks, and a jacket the first night. We returned for dinner the next evening with my husband wearing an appropriate shirt. This time as soon as he reached the door, the same manager met him and again rudely yelled in front of the customers that he had to leave. It turns out he had a bit of sand on his leg. We had just been to the beach. We were again asked to leave. The fridge in our room was supposed to be stocked with beer, water, and soda on a daily basis. The last 4 days we were there our fridge was bare. We could not make coffee because we had no water. We called the front desk MULTIPLE times to ask that it be stocked and were told it would be. This never happened. If you want an enjoyable vacation with great service, DO NOT STAY HERE.
This Riu has 15 floors and 3 elevators. Never had to wait long. Only 1 outside pool with a bar, but never overcrowded. Great food in the gourmet restaurants and the daily buffet. Staff was friendly and always helpful. We had some trouble with our in-room safe, and they serviced it immediately. They had to replace the circuit board. Entertainment was okay. Not nearly as great as the entertainment at the Riu in Negril, Jamaica.
Nice hotel, great location with incredible food. It was very windy during our stay but due to location we were able to enjoy Atlantis, Potters Cay and take water taxi to Nassau sights. It was absolutely lovely!
I liked this place, but I thought the Riu in Punta Cana was better. The staff was nice and friendly, and the rooms were okay, although on the last day, the noise from the air conditioner in our room was pretty bad. The food is what you would expect in general. There were some really good dishes, but some stinkers as well.
Hotel fine, not great but price is right and if you like the beach this is a great location.
Orbitz did not want to let me post my honest opinion they revised my comments more than 5 times. Just know I would not stay at this hotel ever and the service sucked!!' The water in the room stopped working and there are so many restrictions that they don't tell you before you get there.. so no waste your time!!
We had a very nice time have no complaints about anything
The hotel is in a good location in paradise island. has good beach. Food was very good. As usual got a corner room when booked thru orbitz facing the parking lot. Otherwise very good stay.
all round excellent..staff was great and friendky. great food!
We loved our stay, staff was friendly and food was delicious and plentiful.
Always a great stay. Staff is wonderful and friendly. Felicity, Lynn, Shay, Lenny, Keno, Trevor, Felicia, and SO many others. Sorry that I couldn't remember everyone. Can't wait to next year when hotel is completely remodeled.
Very relaxing, more then enough room to accommodate all guest. Lots to do. Very relaxing.
Fabulous location. Food was incredible. Activities were fun
Nice hotel, staff and pool. There are few things that need updates but overall a nice place and affordable! The feature restaurants need to be more available. Tough to get into the Bahama Steakhouse, finally got in on the 7th night there(Food was great). It was closed 3 nights out of the 7 nights. The pool and beach are very nice. The all-inclusive is nice but they should improve the 'top shelf' alcohol.
