Riu Reopens Bahamas All-Inclusive

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - June 1, 2021 - 1:38 pm

The Bahamas’ Riu Palace Paradise Island is back, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The Paradise Island all-inclusive officially reopened in May, according to The Bahamas’ Ministry of Tourism.

The adults-only all-inclusive resort is set adjacent to the Atlantis Paradise Island resort complex on Paradise Island.

In 2017, the Riu underwent a broad transformation project that transformed the resort into an adults-only property.

It’s one of two all-inclusive resorts on Paradise Island, along with the already-open Warwick Paradise Island Bahamas.

The Bahamas is open for tourism; the country recently updated its protocols to waive testing requirements for vaccinated travelers.
