Nassau, Bahamas - Riu Palace Paradise Island

By Sandy from TX | Trip to

The beach was beautiful! It got rough on Thursday though where you couldn’t even go in the water! We went to Rose Island/Sandy Toes and saw the swimming pigs! It was a beautiful place! We walked to Atlantis casino one night to gamble. We walked through Atlantis quite a bit to get to the marina. Chloe and Stan swam with the dolphins. We took a boat ferry to the straw market. It was huge! The hotel was very nice. I had no complaints! John brought too casual of clothes so we didn’t eat at any of the specialty restaurants, but the kids did and said they were good. The buffet was good. Drinks were also good. We didn’t even get in the pool, stayed on the beach. Pool got quite crowded at times, especially when the cruise ship people came on!
