What a great trip! Riu has it all! Best hotel entertainment hands down and the staff pulls out all the stops at this place. Prime beach, prime spot next to Atlantis, everything about this place is just prime. First place in the world I have been that when I left I said, I will be back. Want to check this... more

My sister and I traveled to Bahamas together and enjoyed our trip very much! The hotel is in need of some renos we were told that the renos were to start in Aug.09. The rooms were very clean and no problems at all. The staff is very very friendly and will help you with anything.(not tip induced) The beach is... more

This is a great all-inclusive getaway. Excellent food and service. A terrific value for the money. This has been the second time we went here. more

After reading through some other reviews I was a bit skeptical about the hotel. My fears were allayed within 30 minutes of first walking in the door. The rooms which many had complaints about weren't spectacular, but they were clean, secure and well-maintained, and honestly very little of my trip was spent inside the room--it is vacation after all.

The rooms are outdated but the new ones are pefect in every way. The room is old but clean!!! We faced... more

We were sent to the Riu from Breezes because Breezes overbooked so they made us an offer we couldn't refuse. The Riu's lobby is gorgeous, the rooms are ok with great balconies. The location next to Atlantis is superb. BUT they are closing at the end of August to refurbish all of the guest rooms -therefore most (not all) of... more

After reading the reviews before going down to the RIU, I was a little unsure of what to expect. My husbnad and I stayed at the RIU 8/1-8/5 and loved it. Basically, the main compliant were the dated rooms, but we knew about the rooms before we booked. The staff was great, friendly and very accommodating (which was another concern... more

My husband and I spend 6 days and 5 nights at the Riu for our honeymoon. We absolutely loved our stay and we felt that we got our money's worth. The staff is wonderful and attentive - always laughing and asking how you're doing and our room on the 10th had a balcony with amazing views of the ocean. The... more
