"Our time in the Bahamas was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the staff greeted me with such warmth and genuine hospitality—it instantly felt like home. The location couldn’t have been more convenient, with nearly all the must-see sights just a short stroll away.
One of the absolute highlights was an incredible excursion to Rose Island, where we had the chance to swim with the pigs! The atmosphere was electric and joyful, and the food? Absolutely divine—it all came together to create an experience I’ll never forget.
To top it all off, we wrapped up our vacation with a serene walk to the Queen’s Staircasea peaceful and powerful historical site that made for the perfect ending to our fabulous vacation!

Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island - Adults Only - All Inclusive
5/5 Excellent
"Had a wonderful time at Riu Paradise Island. Staff is friendly and there are plenty of activities. Here are a few tips, get cash as there is no ATM and it is helpful for tips to staff. It is all inclusive so the barside pool can get, I will say hectic, so if something more calm is your style grab a drink and head to the other pool or down to the beach to relax. The more resort activities you do the more Riu bucks that can be won for prizes so start early and also download the Riu App before visiting. Definitely would return."
