There is an abandoned property next door that is a bit of an eye sore. The RIU property was very condensed, but overall nice and good for our relaxing week of endless drinks, food, and sun!

Property was too small, felt enclosed. Also didn't like that everything had to be completed on an app (ie dinner reservations, etc). When on vacation I chose not to have to carry my phone every where we go.

Dirtiest room I have ever seen (hair and used condom on bed). Dust is everywhere!! Ocean view was just concrete even though we called and confirmed a week in advance. Room service was terrible. Room service options are just a few things with tiny portions. Called four times in one day and nothing. We were just requesting mini fridge refills for bottled water. Mini refrigerator has free soda, water, and beer. But they never refilled it. Restaurants have odd hours but food is great. A lot of the same meals. There are multiple restaurants but you had to make a reservation with two to three days in advance. So we couldn’t get in to anything other than the buffet. Pool area is great but don’t expect a seat. We didn’t get one in the 5 days we were there. We are frequent travelers and this is the first bad review I’ve ever given. Just a terrible hotel experience from the beginning.

Clean and attentive service in restaurants and hotel. Maid staff didn’t clean room one day and didn’t replace towels twice. Food in restaurants was good. Buffet was ok nothing great. Same food every day. Breakfast buffet was better. Night life needs a upgrade. Entertainers tried hard but nothing spectacular. Wish they just played dance music and make more like a club.

Resort staff and bartenders are awesome. Pools could be a little more clean, you see sunscreen and lotion blobs floating.

This was our first time in the Bahamas. We booked this trip last minute for our anniversary so a lot of the other hotels in the area were booked. We chose this one because it was all inclusive and all adults. The hotel is on the smaller side and not much to do.The views are beautiful from the rooms. The beach was on high warning for about 3 days so we were unable to get in. The beach is beautiful and the water is clear. I will have to say the solicitors on the beach were so annoying. Every 5 minutes someone was trying to sell you on some time share, braids, cigars, pineapple/coconut with liquor, cover ups, hand made turtles, jet skis or excursions. Normally we would start our day at the beach and end up in the pool before noon. Also, the resort has signs stating not to hold chairs with beach towels but every morning we would wake up early and chairs would have towels for hours without anyone there. The Jerk Chicken spot by the pool was amazing! The restaurants were always booked. Only ate at 2. The buffet food was pretty good! We always found something. Even though we kept hearing complaints from others. Shows at night were pretty good! Drinks at the bars were good. We had our own cups and the drinks seemed to be pretty much juice vs when you ordered in a regular cup. Wish the coffee spot was 24 hours or open earlier. Security was on point at all times and very alert! In all I think I would visit this resort again.

After being slightly hesitant due to some reviews, we booked this all-inclusive hotel for a getaway. Aside from the iffy elevators (they are all functional, they just seem too small for a resort of this size), the trip was amazing! Food was great. Using the app, we were able to make reservations for each night of our stay and tried all 4 of the restaurants. My wife's favorite was the Kulinarium, and she particularly like the Tamarind beef. The trick is to remember to pop on the app in the morning when spots open up. The regular provided buffet was also great and had a wide variety of food selections for all tastes. Service was excellent. This resort is also a short walk from Atlantis, and after 6 you can walk around much of the Atlantis property without a day pass, including The Dig aquarium.

This was a good property, but don’t feel it was comparable to other RIU Palaces (such as Cabo). Getting a reservation for dinner was next to impossible. They wanted you to use the app, yet only 2 nights could we get a reservation and then you’d walk by a nearly empty restaurant. I feel RIU needs to change up their restaurants. The last few have all been the same as the previous resort. This resort also, had several water problems. We didn’t have hot water for 2 nights and there was a big water leak on the 2nd floor and 6 rooms of people had to be moved and the lobby got flooded below.

Wonderful for a stay in the Bahamas! Staff were VERY friendly and attentive and made the stay very hospitable. There were a lot of food options and all were delicious, including the buffets! It was a difficult reservations to the restaurants, as you mostly have to make them days in advance, but we were still able to get into a few, but when we were not able to get into one, the buffet dinner was still very good! The pool and private beach were lovely, and the entertainment and service at both was wonderful. The evening entertainment was also very enjoyable as well. If you are looking for one with a lot of activities and excursions, this is likely not the resort for you because it is smaller, but there were still a lot of activities and entertainment during the day. I highly recommend this resort, and I definitely would come back!

Sheets, blankets, and towels were stained. Bath towels also has an odor to them. Our ac did not work in our room. It took two phone calls and three stops at the front desks to get moved to another room. Although the ac unit wasn't broken like in our first room, the ac did not work well in the second room. Our tv would also not connect to the wifi. When we had maintance person come his repose was "oh yeah these tvs don't hook up to the wifi". When arrived we were told we had to make reservations for the restaurants. We were unable to make any reservations prior to having an assigned room number. By the time we received our room number all the restaurants were booked for all 3 nights we were staying at the hotel. As an all inclusive we loooked forward to eating more than buffet food for all of our stay. The resport itself was a little run down. It was advised as an "adults only" resort, but there were many children running around the beach. We expected the beach resort area to be more private an secluded much like some of the other resorts we have stayed at. There was also a ton of solicitors walking the beach which was a bit annoying when trying to have a relaxing vacation. Some of the staff was friendly. Our favorite was Lamarco, he was the friendliest restaurant staff memeber and when we spoke to him about not being able to get any reservations our whole stay, he sqeezed us in last minute. He was the only restaurant manager who was warm and welcoming.

Beautiful location and a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the resort is small. The hotel and amenities are very outdated and need to be modernized. The food was unfortunately lower quality.
