Two and a half months. That’s how long until the Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island opens its doors once more. The renovation begun last month will bring new features you’re sure to love. The most significant change is that after its reopening (scheduled for late October), it will be an Adults-Only hotel.
With this change, the Riu Palace Paradise Island will allow our guests to enjoy fantastic amenities. Upon arrival at the hotel, guests will be greeted with a glass of champagne to welcome them. A touch of glamour. It’s also adding Concierge service, and the hotel’s theme restaurants have been renovated to provide new décor and an atmosphere even more in line with their themes.
Also, new bars are being added to enhance the wide gastronomic variety available at the Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island: the ‘Chutney’ Indian restaurant, the ‘Jerk’ grill, the ‘Capuchino’ pastry and ice cream shop, and the ‘Calypso’ bar, a 24-hour establishment located in the same hall that hosts the various performances and shows.
Aside from gastronomy, the renovation will give guests two swimming pools to choose from: one with 323m2 and another with 193m2, which will also feature the ‘Soca’ aquatic bar. Outdoors, the hotel also will offer a terrace-solarium in addition to the existing terrace.
In the rooms, the baths will all be redone to include a shower stall and provide a bathrobe for guests. The lobby has also seen its décor updated to give it the fresh and elegant style RIU is adopting in all its new projects.
At no additional cost, guests who so desire will be able to enjoy other amenities related to the Adults-Only format: they will be able to request a romantic outdoor dinner (with prior reservation) and enjoy a special wine list. And, our guests will also have access to Premium beverages throughout the hotel at no additional cost.
There are just three months until all of these new features become a reality that you can enjoy. We can’t wait to open our doors and welcome you with open arms to the Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island.

I have difficulty understanding the different room options ie: junior suite vs junior suite superior, junior suite with sea view, junior suite with partial sea view, special suite. I am particularly interested in the suites that face out to the water with balcony that you can see both directions (not on the side of the hotel facing only one direction). Can you tell me please what is the name for these suites? Thank You.
Hi Colleen!
First of all, forgiveness for slow to respond. The rooms in wich you are interested are the Jr. Suite with sea view and the Suite with sea view that you can see it here: https://www.riu.com/en/hotel/bahamas/paradise-island/hotel-riu-palace-paradise-island/index.jsp#rooms-grid

We are looking to finalize Ravel plans to Paradise Island but have one concern. I have a peanut / tree nut allergy and need to know if the resort can accommodate my needs. I have previously emailed directly and have not received a response. I am so looking forward to going and hopefully this can before end out.
Hi Ray!
For your intolerance, you have the option of asking the restaurant manager to prepare a dish that does not contain peanut or treenuts and they will prepare it 🙂

Do any of these changes affect the restaurant reservations? We are traveling there for our 4th time in November (we love this resort!) and the reservation process is the only thing that drives us crazy!! Thanks!
Hi Kayla!
We eliminated the reservation system in caribbean hotels to prevent it from collapsing with reservations and that some guests were unable to enjoy them.

Hello,
Just wondering if the hotel has reopened. Looking forward to returning again. It is too bad that Mr. Riu decided to close down all the stores. Did the night club move to the area where the sports bar was? Glad that another pool was added.

I will be travelling with 6 Ladies and we would like to be facing Atlantis, in a room on the top floor. What room number should we request? How many people are allowed in each room? How far is the resort from the airport? Is there 24 hour food available?
In the all-inclusive packages would there be anything that would be an extra cost??
What kind of currency should we bring?
