Opening onto a 5km (3-mile) stretch of beach, this is the newest addition to the beachfront. In December 2004, the Riu Hotels chain refurbished the old Sheraton Grand here into an all-inclusive megaresort. Renovations included enlarging the pool, adding a restaurant, and generally enhancing rooms. This 14-story ecru-colored high-rise offers some of the most comfortably appointed bedrooms on Paradise Island. It's more understated than the Atlantis, a lot cheaper, and more user-friendly and manageable in terms of size and layout. Your kids would be happier with all the spectacular events at the Atlantis, but the Riu is a viable runner-up for the family trade. Guests can leave the shelter of the poolside terrace and settle almost immediately onto one of the waterside chaise longues at the beach. The hotel is within walking distance of the casino, restaurants, and nightlife facilities of the Atlantis Paradise Island Resort & Casino properties.

Welcoming drinks are served while you relax on comfortable chairs in the lobby bar amid palm trees and tropical foliage. All the spacious accommodations here are deluxe and tastefully decorated, and equipped with medium-size bathrooms containing tub/showers. Many have spacious balconies that afford sweeping water views or luxurious terraces.

For an extra charge, you can skip the all-inclusive dinner fare and dine at Tengoku, a Japanese-themed restaurant. Other choices available to jaded buffet-goers include Atlantic Restaurant, serving some of Paradise Island's finest steaks and featuring a nonsmoking section, plus a terrace; and Sir Alexander, which is Riu's gourmet a la carte restaurant, featuring highly refined, mainly continental gourmet cuisine with first-rate ingredients. Live entertainment is available 6 nights a week.

Riu Paradise Island offers the ultimate All Inclusive experience in the Bahamas.

    At Beaches Turks and Caicos, how many full or halfbathrooms does the Michaelangelo Family Suite in the Italian Village have?
    the Imperial Family Suites have 2 full bathrooms. the Concierge level rooms in the Italian Village have 1 large bathroom.
    Hi, I am looking into visiting Jamaica. What are the main differences between Riu Negril and Riu Palace Tropical?
    Riu Palace Tropical Bay is more upscale than Riu Negril. It has larger, more recently upgraded rooms, slightly more upscale food, and a nicer lobby. Guests staying at Riu Palace Tropical Bay can use the facilities at Riu Negril, but not vice-versa. We'll be glad to assist you in getting rates for both properties (and others we like in Negril).
    what is an average tip for the butler for a week at Beaches Turkes and Caicos?
    Tips can generally be from $10-$100/day depending on how much/little you use the butler and how valuable you find their service. We generally hear people paying $25-$50/day on average.
