Just returned from Hotel Riu in the Bahamas. The hotel room was nice and clean. My room was on the 15th floor and had a view of the ocean. So it was nice to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean and wake up to the sun rising over it. The only issue is that you can only access... More

Atlantis is next door... More

Sitting on the balcony of our last full day at the Riu Palace. There are definitely some pros and cons about the place. I'll start with the pros. LOCATION. This place is located right on the beach. Our junior ocean view suite faces the sunrise and all I can see is clear blue water. It's also right next to Atlantis... More

Cons: 1) Check-in/Room: we arrived at 1pm they insisted there were no rooms available and to come back at 3pm, however there was a continuous flow of people checking in and going up to their rooms during that time.
