    Really appreciate the updated review. I visited this property about 10 years ago, and the property next door was ruined due to a hurricane, the Riu endured, but was worse for the ware, it's nice to see they renovated it, & also I've stayed at the Riu Antilles several times before, so your comparisons were appreciated and had impact.
    I'm looking forward to taking my partner & I on another vacation down to the Bahamas in spring, & based on your review I feel this would be a worthy venue for us to enjoy a week or so in the Bahaman sun :)
    Thanks for the review!

    When I was alone in the Bahamas and the kids were gone I swim to Paradise Island before it was built. It looks like about 50 ft deep maybe more but at the bottom are all kinds of sea snakes and later I found out they come to the surface to get air.

    HI thank you for your review. THe beach is beautiful. How was the food at the restaurants? Are there any restaurants close by at walking distance or not to far to take a taxi. what are your top 3 resorts in Bahamas?

    • @ftbeat
      @ftbeat  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi. The food we had, jerk chicken was amazing. We were there for the day so we didn’t sample anything else although the buffet looked amazing.
      As far as a “top 3” that is very subjective and based on likes and budget. For us, Riu for value and Sandals Royal Bahamian if we are spending more. Atlantis is great for families but bring an armored car of money for the restaurants. And there are off site restaurants near the Riu. It’s actually right next door to Atlantis.
