    Birthday trip

    Food was average and there was 1 restaurant that we never could get into because of the no reservations. Also as a frequent all inclusive traveler not use to being limited to only one entree or no customizations in the restaurants. never knew what entertainment there was except for the white party. Was there for my husband’s birthday and was told our room would be decorated. Never happened. When I inquired why it was blamed on housekeeping and they don’t always have the supplies to decorate…really that’s the excuse, pretty lame and disappointing. Overall as a frequent traveler, we were not impressed with this resort which I’ve told my travel agent and friends. We will be trying a different resort on our next visit to Aruba.

    Horrible

    Two words……. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!! Husband and I stayed here at the Antillas resort and we had more cons than pros. Place needs a facelift BIG time !!!! Shout out to Joshua at the front desk he was very kind to us and we enjoyed the Krystal restaurant the most other than that the rest was very repetitive and the evening restaurants like the steak house was very unorganized. Will NOT go to this resort again :(

    Fabulous Stay

    Loved the place and the staff more. Shout out to Michelle at the Atlantis restaurant, Piola on towels and Nathan, Junior, and Enrique for keeping the drinks flowing by the pool

    Riu Palace Antillas - Aruba

    This was our first vacation to an all inclusive. We travelled with several family members to celebrate a milestone birthday. We couldn't have been happier with our choice to stay at Riu Palace Antillas. The buffet was wonderful with so many choices for each meal - including theme nights for dinner. The staff at the hotel was always pleasant and accommodating. The beach is absolutely beautiful, warm, and calm - perfect for relaxing. We were able to obtain palapas every day by reserving them early in the morning so we could spend the day at the beach. The location of the hotel is well within walking distance of many restaurants and shopping areas. We also booked a full-day tour of the island. It was informative and a great way to experience Aruba. There are many excursions to choose from. We had such a wonderful stay here; we would definitely consider staying here on our next trip to Aruba.
