Great experience! Staff are super friendly, rooms are clean, as well as all areas of the resort. Variety of nightly entertainment. Only wish there was an outdoor bar area for the night time. Would definitely recommend this resort!

I like Riu Palace Hotels, but this one is not up to par with the rest. The beach location is very nice, the buffet food had good variety and quality some staff members were great and obviously hard working. However, the hotel property and rooms need to be updated there were cleanliness issues there is an apparent shortness of bath towels as we never received a full restock for the entire time we stayed some staff members seriously lacked hospitality training/awareness as they were short/abrasive and seemed not interested in helping even though they were at their duty stations (front desk, bar, restaurant, etc.)... We had 6 people in 3 different rooms and getting a reservation together at any of the restaurants was impossible because 1) the reservations only open a few days in advance 2) you have to book before 8 am or they are all booked up 3) it would only let you reserve for the number of people registered in your room and it was a challenge to coordinated all 3 rooms to sign in and get the same time reservation. The dinning experience at the reservation restaurants was not that pleasant especially at the Japanese restaurant as you constantly felt rushed through each course and they refused to give you seconds or any extra starters, soup or salad even though this is an all inclusive hotel! Riu Management needs to revamp this overall Riu experience.

Remodeled in known Riu styling. Front desk was less than friendly! But evwry other staff member is happy, friendly, helpful and qanting to help and ensure your stay is pleasureable. Cons: they do not have have any outdoor bars after 5-6 pm. No outdoor eating in the evenings. It is the smallest of 5-6 Riu properties we have stayed at. But I believe one of the only all inclusive in the Bahaamas. So, make rhe best of it!

The staff was wonderful, the property is old and in need of many updates. Dining is limited and requires reservations to be booked via their app solely for your own room only. Comments can be made to include other rooms but not guaranteed. Hopefully you don’t get a room that has two double beds pushed together to make a “king”. We had to switch rooms once. Would not stay again. Luckily, the staff IS amazing and courteous!

This was one of the best vacations I have taken,. The RIU is an excellent place. Very Clean, the staff was amazing and friendly. I have stayed at the RIU in jamaica and the staff in Bahamas is much friendlier. Very handicapped friendly. All the restaurants were excellent except for the Indian restaurant. Needs much to be desired. Besides that everything was just perfect.
