    Had much better experiences in other Riu hotels. This wasn’t so great of experience but i must thank to two employees who made my stay pleasant. VIKISH ( front desk) who went above and beyond to make us happy. This guy deserves a raise. And Louis ( donning staff) who had a beautiful laugh all the time and so helpful. Palace side of hotel was so boring but atol side was more fun.

    I stayed for two nights and really the only good thing about this hotel is the sea. Since we arrived, we were greeted with a drink of something that I'm still finding out is the service, it's terrible, the gastronomy is catastrophic, I don't recommend this hotel to anyone, I live in Florida and For me it is not worth traveling so far thinking that it is paradise and in the end you find that everything is a lie

    I stayed two nights and really the only good thing about this hotel is the sea, really. For me, I live in Florida. It's not worth spending so much money if the Bahamas is much better.
