Independent in Rose Island from AU$223

"My stay at Bahamas Riu was truly unforgettable from start to finish. This resort deserves every bit of praise because the experience was that good. The moment I checked in, I felt the warmth and hospitality that the staff is known for. Every single person I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure guests were happy. Whether it was at the front desk, the restaurants, housekeeping, or the entertainment team, everyone went above and beyond with a smile. One of the major highlights for me was the 24/7 bar. The vibes? Immaculate. The drinks? Always on point. The bartenders kept the energy high and created such a fun and welcoming atmosphere no matter what time it was. You can literally stop by at any hour and expect great service, good music, and a whole vibe. The resort itself is stunning; clean, modern, and truly well kept. The food options were great, the entertainment was lively, and the pool and beach areas were absolutely beautiful. You can relax, party, explore, or just enjoy the scenery… whatever mood you’re in, the Riu delivers. Overall, this trip was a solid 10/10, and I’m honestly already thinking about when I can book my next stay. If you’re considering coming to the Bahamas, save yourself the searching — Bahamas Riu is the place to be!"

"Here’s a polished rewording of your travel note, Budget-Friendly Travel Guide This spot is perfect if you’re looking to save money. Rent a small, charming car from Budget for about $40 a day—it’s worth it. The hotel sits near West Bay and St. Albans Street; if you spot Ace Hardware, you’re close. - Hotel: - Rooms are clean, and the staff is attentive and respectful. - Room service is available upon request. - The property features palm trees and gardens, which add to the relaxing atmosphere. - Transportation: - Without a rental car, expect to pay around $55 for three people from the airport to the hotel. - Local buses are a great option: they cost $1.50, are yellow with benches at stops, and run along West Bay Street. - Westbound buses can take you to Goodman’s Bay or all the way to Nirvana Bar, where $5 grants access to Love Beach. - Eastbound buses lead to Junkanoo Beach, the Straw Market, and downtown Nassau—though expect cruise ship crowds. - Always ask about the last bus pickup time so you don’t get stranded. - Dining & Amenities: - Breakfast includes rotating options like eggs, sausage, or omelets, plus waffles, oatmeal, cereal, and fruit (oranges, apples, bananas). Drinks include water, milk, orange juice, and coffee. - There’s a pool, and happy hour starts at 7:30 p.m. by the pool with a DJ. The night staff are friendly—try the punch! "
