Stafford Creek Vacations from $1,147

Amazingly amazing staffs, took care of me and my wife for our second honeymoon very very very well! 20/10

This was our first trip to the Bahamas, and overall we had a great stay at RIU! Food: The buffet had decent options and everything was fresh and well prepared. The restaurant food was very good, so be sure to download the RIU app and make reservations. The lobster at two of the restaurants was delicious, and the poolside jerk chicken was a highlight. Pool: The pool area was clean, but chairs fill up quickly, so grab a spot early. Beach: Absolutely beautiful. The water was crystal clear, there was no seaweed, and the staff cleaned the beach every morning. Weather: The forecast called for rain every day, but it only rained for about five minutes during our entire trip. Don't rely too much on the weather app! Bars: Good drinks and friendly staff overall. Some bartenders were more personable than others, but service was good. Cleanliness: The resort and rooms were very clean, and we didn't encounter any bugs. Extra pillows were provided upon request. Atlantis: I highly recommend walking to Atlantis, which is about 15 minutes away. It's a nice way to spend a day off the resort and explore the area. Overall: A great quick getaway with beautiful beaches, clear water, and good food. I would definitely recommend it!

Water park is great for the kids.

Overall a nice trip. Check in was extremely slow. Room was not ready and waited way too long for the room to be ready. Ruined our first day. Room was spacious and clean. Temporary adult pool was ok. Way too many reserved chairs that were not being used. A complete waste when there are not enough chairs to begin with. Just another way for them to make more money. Need a better system for guests who are over 18 to enter the adult pool. Kept telling my daughter every day she could not be there when she is 19. They were not even nice about it even when I showed them her passport. They looked at us like they didn’t believe her. Not cool and was annoying all week. Would not return sorry. Many better places with better service that make you feel like they actually want you there.

Island House is one of my favorite hotels in the world and yet feels just like home. The boutique hotel is spacious, with quiet tree top views, a relaxing pool that’s always free, spa, gym and access to the private beaches of historic Old Fort Bay Club. The staff is attentive and relaxed. Excellent restaurant options, including an Italian market with fresh pizza, Roman fine dining, inventive Sushi and an all day bar & cafe. A monthly rotation of events focuses on wellness, cinema, music, fine dining and culture. Close to the airport, but far from the cruise crowds - Island House sits in front the heart of Lyford Cay, the capital of off-shore financial services, private banking and luxury neighborhoods tourists never see.
