Happy New Year! In this video, we're on Paradise Island and we want to take you on a RIU Palace Paradise Island full tour. This one is special! We've been here 3 times - and it never disappoints. Although quaint, it is an excellent place to unwind, with all-inclusive food and drink. Adventurers may look to venture off resort - but look no further than Atlantis right next door. Also, The city of Nassau is a short ride away, with so much history, food, culture, and pirate lore to discover. Don't miss the fish fry for some fresh Conch Salad.
Hope you enjoyed our tour, if you liked the video or your found it helpful, hit the thumbs up, and leave us a message or question down in the comments. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to our channel for more hotel/resort tours around the world ... and to find out where we going next ✈️🌴

Very informative and even though every RIU resort are similar, it is good to see the lay out at the Bahamas. With the Atlantis being a non exclusive resort with higher price rooms with inflated food prices, the RIU seems like the go to place. You can get a day pass for the Atlantis aquarium or go after 6pm for free.

Yes, that’s exactly why the RIU is such a great choice in the Bahamas!

Thanks so much, this was very informative. I was thinking of booking here for June of this year but I am unsure about the weather in June as I have been told it can get stormy. The hotel itself looks like fantastic value for money. I can't believe that it's all inclusive and has so much variety in eateries and even an all day snack bar. The prices at the Atlantis are so bad that you could spend thousands on food and drink, so this hotel looks perfect. It's modern and has a good location and lots to offer. Easy to pop over to Atlantis too, which is great :-)

Make sure that when you book your Ocean Front room, they don’t change it to an Ocean view or Pool view room. I’ve been there twice, they did it twice, had to argue for them to give me the correct, more expensive room. They always made me keep the lesser room for one night, move the next day to the proper room, and credit me with something worthless, like a credit on an overpriced massage, when I would prefer a cash refund or the correct room the same day. Also, sitting on the balcony, you may notice some off-putting cesspool type smells. The food is very good. You have to get up early in the morning to wait in line to make a reservation for a restaurant if you don’t want to eat the buffet meals, which are very good.

They usually have conch salad/conch fritters at the buffet 👍🏻 the fish fry is an outdoor food vendor area outside of the resort - you can get there by taxi. There are lots of excursions you can book through the resort - or our favourite thing to do is visit the Atlantis resort next door. They have a casino, aquarium and water park 👍🏻 you can purchase a day pass to enjoy the activities there.

Could you explain how many days you stayed what was the pricing for the Covid vaccine if you stayed for 4 days leaving on a 5th did you have to take a test on the 5th day or could you test on the 4th day for the 5th day

@WherewegoingNext 2 жыл бұрын

The Covid testing is different for every country. For us in Canada, we needed a negative PCR test no older than 3 days.. but I believe for the US it has to be a negative antigen test no older than 24 hours before departure. The price for a PCR test was $120 USD and the antigen test was $25 USD. Always check the regulations in your country before travelling, as things change all the time.

I was there in early May. Great food, entertainment, and people but the location is too isolated. Good pools and beach. No shops in hotel and only one overpriced little convenience store across the street. It's also too far away from the Atlantis and Nassau. No public transportation and cabs are too expensive. It cost me $10 to get to Atlantis and $20 to get to Nassau. Bahamian and US dollars are equal. Hotel is somewhat run down. Rooms are too small. No bathtub. Shower difficult to use and towels are of poor quality and sometimes frayed.
