Paradise Island Bar Hotel

"Great!"

"The resort was clean and we really enjoyed the large pool and beach area. Was also walking distance to Atlantis "

"We stayed at the Reef for 6 nights. Overall, we had a good week. Check in wasn’t as smooth as we would have liked. The room wasn’t ready until after 4:30 and our bags had been taken to storage before we realized it would be several hours before a room was ready. The staff were very accommodating and gave us a small upgrade and a small credit for the inconvenience. The resort property is very large. Besides our own room, the resort is also very loud - the pools, the beach, the restaurants, even walking the paths - there is noise or loud music playing everywhere. The only peaceful spot was areas of the beach away from the resort chairs. Beach/pool chairs were often all reserved by 9:30am - get up early if you want to claim your spot. Nothing was ever removed from what we could see even though signs are posted to that effect. The restaurants ranged from amazing to poor. You get what you pay for, but be prepared to pay $$$$ to enjoy a great meal. Our favourites were Amber followed by Carmine’s. I would not recommend Murray’s at all. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, from the front desk, cleaning staff, pool/beach staff and the restaurants. The only real complaint I have would be about the guests themselves. The amount of garbage that was left behind on the beach or at the pools was disappointing. If you have young kids, like water parks and a Vegas type atmosphere, you will enjoy this resort."

"Riu was an exceptional stay! Service was great, food was delicious, the events they had were fun, drinks were tasty. The resort was in a prime location as well! However, Riu doesn’t have an openly available transport so you will likely rely on taxis to get around if you plan to go far- bring cash."

"We stayed for ten nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Balcony has views of the resort and the ocean."

"We had an ocean view room with stunning views, also can see the aquarium from the window. Best ever experience "

"The rooms are in serious need of updating, and the adults-only pool area also feels dated and worn which was surprising for a resort at this price point."

"Everything was unreal"

"The condo was as advertised. Great value. For that reason alone, you shouls stay there. The 5 stars are for the owner. I experienced a life threatening medical emergency. Steve was immediately responsive and did all he could to support us through this situation. He is a genuine caring and compassionate human being. His recommended driver, Monique, is also a truly fine person. With minimal notice, she picked up our kids at the airport and brought them straight to the hospital! I can never thank them enough for helping us. They are the gold standard for "responsive hosts"!"
