    Worst Rui hotel that I have ever stayed at

    My husband and I have stayed at several Rui Hotels. Every time we travel outside of the United States, we try to find a RUI hotel just because we’ve had such a great experience. The RUI in Paradise Island Bahamas is by far the worst one we have ever stayed and the only reason why I am giving it a little bit more of a star is because the staff Is so friendly. The food at the buffet was cold and tasteless for breakfast lunch or dinner, The rooms are really outdated and have a funny smell to it. The drinks are water down and My husband and I have stayed at several Rui Hotels.

    RIU BAHAMAS.

    I wouldn’t not go back to this RIU. It’s really hard to get dinner reservations, the rooms are musty and the floor gets extremely slippery. If you only have a 3-4 day trip expect to just eat at buffet because all reservations are 2-3 days out upon arrival. It’s also very frustrating that the reservations open at midnight for the restaurants and are all reserved in a very fast amount of time. The bar music and entertainment is good, but it’s extremely loud. We also had a horrible expirence with a taxi cab driver that sits below the RIU. If you can get PJ as a taxi driver I 100% do recommend him. He is amazing. I would spend your money elsewhere, not here.

    WORST TRIP EVER

    This was the worst Vacation ever! I have been to many all inclusive resorts. It should have 0 stars ! I didn't even stay 24 hours, was supposed to stay 5 nights. Was happier leaving 80 degrees temperature to come home to the cold weather. This was supposed to be an all inclusive resort, but it was like a Holiday Inn! Staff was beyond rude and me me very uncomfortable. When I was speaking to one staff member the others would be laughing! I had to carry my own luggage from my room upon checkout. Pool was small, no umbrellas, 3 flights down to the beach ( I am a senior and have trouble walking stairs) again no umbrellas insight! Lobby was small with a few couches and nothing else! I ate 2 meals which were just ok, side dish of brocolli, one spear and one grape tomato! No entertainment !The Spa was a joke! One sleepy person at the desk and no staff in the Spa , was told they call in staff for appointments I was not alone in my thoughts, heard complaints from many guests at that were also staying there! DO NOT GO !

    Not enough Gluten-free options

    We loved our stay at the Riu Palace. The room was super-clean, the bed comfortable, the staff never stopped smiling and were always helpful. And the beach was first-classs. At the beginning of our stay I chatted to one of the chefs who told me that if I asked the cooks could prepare a few gf dishes for me. He was very kind. The problem, though was that every day (especially breakfast) I was confronted with the most delicious looking foods on the buffet and I COULD EAT NONE OF IT. I had to trawl through all that was on offer (and believe me, there was a lot!) and find the few items that were safe for me to eat. It drove me crazy looking at those delicious choices and having to walk away. In the end, I used my own gf cereal for breakfast and picked the few safe items for the rest of the meals. People who don't have celiacs do not understand the particular torture of looking at delicious food and not being able to eat any of it. And, the food at the Riu was amazing, from the looks of it! Thank you for a lovely vacation, if it hadn't been for the food, I would have definitely been back, it was that good a place to stay!!!!

    Rooms are not good

    This hotel has been terrible for us, we had to move because they put us in between a large party that had two rooms so they were going back and forth banging on each others doors. The room they moved us to had an air conditioner that was so loud, they cam to look at it and said it needed to be replaced. We moved to our third room and the air conditioner mostly works but if you take a shower all the floors get slippery because there is no vent fans. The lobby and restaurants look great but the rooms are very dated and the blankets are scratchy. I would not come back to this property.
