Mar 03, 2025Water and Beach are beautiful - resort was meh
TLDR: 2.5 stars. Wouldn’t return. Didn’t have a “bad” time but set your expectations appropriately, and you’ll be fine! Front desk: 9/10 (Daphne and QT were phenom) Bar Service: 3/10 (we had 2 bartenders/servers who served us with a smile; the rest were curt. I was also yelled at for asking for water when we arrived - first interaction with anyone besides front desk) Minibar Service: 3/10 (had to ask for waters 3+ times) Restaurant Service: 5/10 (weird to have 3-4 different folks during a service; no music. No ambiance. Lemarco was amazing on our last night though!) Restaurants and Food: 7/10 (had some really good food and some really bad food) HATE the reservation system! Sad there are no “open air” restaurants besides Jerk Chicken for breakfast or lunch! Room: 7/10 (clean and the cleaning staff were so nice!!) Daytime Entertainment: 7/10 (Blush, Mickey, and Enrique were amazing! But they need more things to do - ping pong, pool, etc) Evening Entertainment: 8/10 (exactly what youd expect) Gym: 4/10 (several broken machines; very small) Pools: 5/10 (clean but very warm which isn’t really refreshing when it’s super hot!) Location: 7/10 (we walked to downtown nassau but there are other closer places you can walk to if you want to get off resort) Overall, this resort is 2.5 stars. We’ve been to many other AIs in lots of different countries. This visit does not make me want to visit another Riu, but it wasn't terrible…just set your expectations appropriately! It’s a vacation!!

Not as I like it
Went for a week at the RIU Paradise Island. It was very disappointing. Check-in - no one shows you to your room. The key cards didn't work and it took three times for them to get them to finally work. Room- Very small balcony but a standard hotel room. The TV was limited and sometimes the picture would scramble. There was water and soda provided along with a variety of liquor. There was a coffee maker but during our stay they ran out of coffee for it. The shower was really nice, plenty of hot water and pressure. We did have an ocean view but it also overlooked a hotel that looks like it is being demolished and there was construction noise all the time. Room service- a limited menu but we ordered for the mornings and they were prompt Restaurants- There are 4. You needed reservations which were hard to get. They only allow you to book 2 days ahead. The frustrating part was the restaurants were never full, they always had a lot of empty tables even though the app said they were unavailable. The food was mediocre at best. We ate at the Japanese restaurant and I got really sick from it. At each restaurant you were given 1 appetizer, 1 entree and a dessert. Very limited choices. We were able to try all the restaurants and none of them were great. The buffet was good for breakfast with lots of variety. Pool and beach- you were given a pool card for towels. You were given just 1 towel per person, that was it. If you lost your pool card it was a 20.00 charge to get another. The pool was small and very warm. The beach was nice and they would set you up with a lounger and an umbrella. The beach was crowded so you didn't have much personal space. Bars- there were 2 bars and a coffee shop. The one bar was open 24 hours, the pool bar closed when the pool did. The 24 hour bar was in the entertainment area it got very loud and crowded in the evening. For the amount of money they charged, I was expecting better. Needless to say, I will not be returning.

We didn't believe the reviews - lesson learned!
Stayed at many other Rius. This by far is the worst. No sister resorts! No medical or doctor on site. Buffet was horrible hot food was cold. same ol foods day after day. Breakfast is the best and the steak house. We did get into 2 specialty dining. Thanks to Randy at the front desk. Staff is very friendly . No complaints there. There is nothing to do this resort not even any lil shops. All of the issues we seen are management or the owners not wanting to invest in their property. The beach is nice and they even bring you your lounge chairs. But the weather was not on our side either. No bar service at beach or bathrooms. We seen 1 bathroom by the lap pool quite a walk. If your considering this resort go to the Riu in Negril or Dominca Rep Adults only palace. They have a better night life too. Room service was horrible as well. Stay away from casinos Atlantis and Baha Mar high end!!! Good luck
