Hotel Riu Palace Antillas

Our stay was very relaxing. The pool and beach were beautiful. The restaurants were good. Some meals were better than others. The evening entertainment was not very good so that needs improvement. Overall we had a great time and we would stay at RIU again.

Service was great, very friendly and attentive staff. Food was great for an all inclusive. We tried two restaurants on the resort and were very pleased. Cleanliness was good. Walking distance to other restaurants and shops. Only complaint I have is the room key card. Two nights we were unable to get into the room due to key card issue. We kept it separate from phones and wallets with other cards. And still had this issue. Maybe it was an issue with the keypad itself. But besides this, our stay was great.

My stay was amazing from entrance to departure at this Riu Palace Antillas Adults Only. The staff was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival. Especially with a welcome drink which I feel sets the tone for any vacation. I Loved that there was so much Latin staffed at this location. Made me feel more included. The room was very spacious and conformable. I had an issue with the AC (balcony door wasn't fully closed/my fault) and they were very quick to respond, come to my room and show me what had happened. The cleaning staff was also very quick to respond to my request for extra towels when I needed them. Room was kept clean and fresh when I returned from y outing. The location on the beach was great, the pool side bartenders were amazing. Only thing I think needs some improvement is the demand for the restaurants that needs reservations (even though on the app it says it doesn't). It only serves a certain amount per night so if you are not there to be seated when they open you don't get to eat there. Also, if the Adults only gives you access to the Riu family (next door) I think you should have access to all their restaurants as well. I tried to eat at the Sushi restaurant and was told I only had access to the buffet style restaurant. I have stayed at other all-inclusive adults only resorts that gives you FULL access to the partner/sister hotel. Overall the experience was great, the entire place is beautiful and safe.

Best hotel ever!!! Beautiful, super friendly, amazing food and drinks, exceptionally clean, I can go on and on. My husband and I did not want to leave!! We were actually really sad!! Zarel was incredible. She checks in the Elite Club members, which I highly recommend booking one of those incredible rooms!! I'm sure every room is outstanding based on the entire beauty of the hotel!! Magnificent!!

My wife and I were just in Aruba from July 2-7 for our honeymoon. This was my first time in Aruba. The island is a beautiful, windy and you feel extremely safe leaving the resort. Unfortunately the weather was 81-84 all week with 30-40 mph winds. As far as the resort the grounds are well kept and clean but definitely aged. The food and alcohol are average, the pools are shallow, cold, and gross. You can legit see the sun tan lotion film around the edge of the pools. The beach is nice but they allow smoking and there are a million cigarette butts. The beach chairs are old, broken, and hard to get. The ocean is absolutely beautiful. I spent my whole vacation in the water. We did a catamaran tour which was well worth it. Seen multiple sea turtles, snorkeled, had lunch… it was a nice 4 hours. The service at this hotel was also mediocre I felt like I was bothering the staff when we were in the Dominican in may for our wedding they treated us like royalty. The entertainment was all mediocre. All in all I would go back to Aruba because it was beautiful but I would probably go in September when it’s hotter and less windy. I’d also try a different resort.
