Hotel Riu Palace Paradise Island offers 6 restaurants — 5 included in your stay and 1 specialty/extra-cost. Featured venues include Sir Alexander, Krystal, Tengoku, Bahamas and Atlantic. The resort also has 1 coffee shop and 4 bars/lounges. See the full restaurant guide below for menus, hours, and reservation details.
Sir Alexander, Krystal, Tengoku, and Bahamas dinner list reservations required on the live page. Download the RIU app before arrival and book specialty nights early in the stay. Atlantic remains the no-reservation buffet fallback for all three meals.
Specialty a la carte dinners ask for formal dress: long trousers for gentlemen and no sleeveless t-shirts. Atlantic dinner is smart casual with the same long-trousers / no-sleeveless rule for men. The resort is adults only (18+).
Use Atlantic for breakfast (live clocks 7:00-10:30 AM, sparkling wine and live cooking per official copy) and themed buffet dinners three times weekly. Use Tengoku, Krystal, Bahamas, and Sir Alexander for a la carte variety. The Open Air Romantic Dinner is a separate extra-cost experience, not the buffet.
Calypso / Sports Bar and room service run 24 hours. Capuchino covers afternoon pastry. Jerk Barbecue Station and Soca handle lunch and pool daytime energy.
