"For an adults-only, warm-weather escape, look no further than Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island in Nassau. When they’re not relaxing in their rooms, each of which has a private balcony or terrace, guests can be found soaking up the Bahamian sun on the beach (there is a stretch of sand reserved exclusively for resort guests) or enjoying a dip in one of two on-site swimming pools. Additionally, with a slew of entertainment offerings and activities — which run the gamut from live shows and music to beach volleyball, kayaking, and beyond — it’s pretty much impossible to be bored here. For an extra rose of R&R, hit the Renova Spa, which has a sauna, whirlpool bath, and a slew of wellness-centric treatments such as vitamin C facials, detoxifying body wraps, and deep tissue massages. Lastly, when hunger calls, guests can make their way to the main buffet or one of four a la carte restaurants, including a Japanese eatery and a steakhouse." - Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman Lauren Dana Ellman is a New York-based freelance writer and editor who specializes in travel, lifestyle, food, and shopping content.

If possible get an Ocean View Suite, the views are incredible (floors 4 and up)!!! We stayed there for first time a few weeks ago (Feb 2025) and will be going back next year! Lots to do off property. Restaurants are difficult to reserve, but buffets were very good. Entertainment was good. Fantastic long stretch of beach. Service in all areas was outstanding. Hotel is very clean.

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary in January 2025. We enjoyed our week stay. Food and service was top shelf. We didn’t have any real delays with drinks, or food. We especially enjoyed the large buffet with different offerings daily. One evening we were talking with a couple and she was leaning/sitting on the arm of one of the chairs… the staff moved the furniture to allow her to sit more comfortably without being asked. That’s the kind service that we were spoiled by most of the week. The only bad was the bed being a little hard and the weather being cooler. The beach is nice, it was cool and windy; Go to the left past the other resorts, there are big rocks that block wind, and will make the beach experience much better. We went down there multiple times and had most of the area to ourselves. Thank you to all the staff and the island for making our adventure successful!

My husband, mother, sister, and myself stayed here for Christmas. This was our first all-inclusive experience. The hotel was clean inside and out. Food selections were good. The drinks were always poured heavily (which was fine by me!) We were unable to enjoy the beach as it was too rough and windy during our stay, but we were perfectly content in the heated bar pool. Each day we also scheduled a time slot to use the hot tub (definitely recommend). The only thing that kept me from giving this resort a 5 star is that it took them 3 days to get half of our party into a new room when the AC stopped working. For as much as this place costs, I'd expect that to be handled promptly. Instead, we were told repeatedly someone would be sent to fix it and no one would ever show up to the room. Paying a fee grand to stay in a room that reached 80F isn't my idea of a fun trip..

We recently stayed at Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island for our anniversary and it was a phenomenal experience! It was our first Riu property and from the first moments on site the staff was extremely helpful, attentive and friendly. Our room was clean, modern and cleaned every day. They refill your mini-bar and the room service was prompt and just as advertised. We enjoyed the dining and beverage services throughout. The buffet was diverse, the coffee shop was excellent and the restaurants were great experiences. Pro tip: work on getting your reservations right away when on site and plan out your meals if you want to get in the restaurants. Staff were excellent in assisting with getting a table. The activities poolside were fun, and I can't say enough about the jerk chicken they're out there serving every day for lunch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely do it again. Thanks to each and everyone who work there for making our getaway memorable!

This is NOT a 5 star hotel! 2 stars would be generous. Riu RUINED my engagement trip. We paid for an upgraded room with ocean view, and instead got a view of the air conditioning for the entire building. We were supposed to have a king bed and instead got two twins pushed together without anything connecting them. The food was inedible. The beach was swarming with scammers and trash. Staff was so poorly trained that they didn’t understand any of our complaints. They refused to give us a different room or allow us to cancel our booking. STEER CLEAR!!!

My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon. We were greeted with a warm smile and welcome from the staff. They offered to carry our bags to our room and made sure we were the most important people to them. The food was wonderful from all the restaurants at the hotel to the buffet to the pool grill. The food did not feel like an all inclusive-it was nice to have nice food at the hotel. The entertainment was nice. The room was clean and smelled wonderful. We had a nice balcony to look at the ocean. The beach was well maintained as well as the spa and pool. We really enjoyed our stay here. The price we felt was extremely affordable for 2 people for a week. The only thing I would correct is faster room service-that took a little but longer, but otherwise everything was perfect and we thank the hard working staff. The excursion desk was also perfect in helping us get out of the hotel and around the city on tours and day trips.

We checked in yesterday for a 6 night stay. This property is very disappointing. I will say the food at the buffet is good and the staff is great. The property does not deserve 3 stars. The room has 4 single outlets so leave your electronics at home. Each of us a phone and an iPad and I have a CPAP. The bathrooms are small and no counter space. Another significant issue is the 2 day waiting period to book into one of the 4 non-buffet restaurants. You can only book 2 nights out so the first couple of night, you only can eat in the buffet. While the food is good, I want the option. And… you can only book 2 days in advance And everything is done on their app which is wonky, clunky and far from intuitive and if if you don’t book by 3am there is nothing available! This place needs a full refresh and a couple of great computer engineers.

Just stayed there last week very disappointed. Making a dinner reservation was hard to get. Hotel definitely needs some fixing up. Looks run down. Bird poop covers the pool deck. They only clean a walking path. Not much to do there. On the beach as you go downstairs the local guys trying to sell jet ski etc. But they just sitting there smoke weed. The hotel blocks most of the sun down at the beach. It would have been nice to have a store to buy some clothes. The spa hot tub was not filled up and broken tiles not inviting at all. Definitely don't recommend!!!
