Riu Palace Antillas: Rius Palace Antillos

We had a great vacation the accommodations were great. The entertainment team was fantastic and very friendly with everyone, they organized many different activities. The restaurants had great food and the food display was very elegant. I think that they could or should have some limitation on reserving chairs on the beach and at the pool so everyone can have access. There was times when towels were put on chairs in early morning and nobody shoed up till the end of the day which made it hard to  [... read more]find areas in the shade. They should put some time limit on unattended chairs to allow the use by other guests. The staff was very friendly and courteous and helped the guests as much as possible. The rooms were always very clean and well equipped with whatever was needed. I would like to thank everyone that made this a wonderful trip.

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort: Very Nice Resort

This is a fabulous hotel with many features. We enjoyed the private Island with the flamingos, the restaurants had a nice variety of food, the staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and nice, the location was great-right on the main street. We enjoyed the pool/beach area as well and enjoyed watching the cruise ships come and go.The only complaint was that we had to carry around our card with us and sign for every meal and drink. It was most inconvenient at the pool bars as the service was s [... read more]lower because they had to enter in our room number, swipe the card, then have us sign it. We would have preferred to wear a bracelet indicating that we were all inclusive. Overall we had a fantastic week and enjoyed exploring the Island.

Divi Aruba Beach Resort: Awesome Resort!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amazing week at the Divi - the people are amazing and the facilities are outstanding! Well kept, clean and safe. Lots to do in and around the resort. I would recommend the Divi to couples or families looking to get away. The weather was fantastic.

Riu Palace Aruba: good resort

i was pleased with the resort, the food was all good, rooms were clean, beach is great and the pools were good. The staff were very nice to work with if we needed anything at all. Best of all the weather was fantastic!.

Riu Palace Antillas: Exceeded our Expectations

Firstly let me say that the people of Aruba and at the hotel are extremely kind and professional. We couldn't get over how clean everything was and how well run the hotel was also. There were always managers around asking if everything was good and if they could do anything for us. We had connecting rooms which was great as we were a family of 4. The food was absolutely amazing and always a variety. With all 4 of us liking different things we never went to bed hungry. They had live music pl [... read more]aying at the supper buffet (something different each night) which really made it that much more special.. With spending most of our time at the beach and refusing to stay inside while on holiday, we can't say too much about the night life. We were beat come bed time. We were aware of the winds in Aruba, and we loved it, otherwise it would have been too hot. Hats off to Sonny the operator for checking in on us when we arrived to see if all was good and to our liking. Really can't say anything negative about the hotel at all. We had King beds and they were extremely comfortable. The top of our list was a clean hotel and great food. This hotel had it all. We ate at the Italian restaurant and it was also very good. We didn't meet anyone there that didn't like the hotel or had any issues. We read alot of reviews about the rooms smelling moldy, but we found as any hotel on the ocean, of course if you leave the patio doors open the room will get humid, so we kept the a/c on all was good. We thoroughly enjoyed the adult only hotel. We only went in the pool on the last day as the beach was more what we were looking for. The water is truly amazing!! The staff on the beach getting your loungers worked like crazy to keep everyone happy and in a great spot on the beach. Overall just a great place!!! We loved it and will definitely be going back again!!!

Riu Palace Antillas: service was on the poor side

The resort was well maintained. Food selection was awesome. Bartenders and wait staff in specialty restaurants were fabolous. However staff in main dining area and front desk were definitely not friendly at all.

Riu Palace Aruba: Everything was great..I liked the beach, pools and the food quality.

Service was friendly but not over the top. The only negative comment that I have for this hotel is the LOBBY!! It is very outdated and since we get our first impression when we enter the facility through the lobby, I almost regretted picking this place. But once you exit the lobby, all was great. I also liked the proximity of this hotel to the little local strip of shops and restaurants.

Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort: Location and comfort

Amsterdam Manor in Eagle Beach is in a fantastic location in Aruba with few good restaurants, shopping and entertainment options near by. The room looked exactly as pictured, super clean and comfortable. It was very easy to communicate with the staff, they do everything to make staying at this place a great experience! I can only recommend this hotel, five stars!

Riu Palace Antillas: A great week!

Hotel grounds were immaculate. Staff work hard to ensure all is clean. Food was excellent. Only complaint is there was no Japanese dining option at the Antilles and we could not use the Riu Palace Aruba a la cartes. Mattresses were not the best and pillows were uncomfortable. Staff definitely elevate the hotel to a higher class. Great location.

Riu Palace Antillas: Great resort

The resort itself is in need of some serious renos. It fails in comparison to other resorts that have spend the time to bring their resorts up to a better standard. The rooms are tired and mold in the bathtub is not a plus. The bed was not comfortable at all, it was lumpy and cause both me and my wife back pain. we both ended up at the spa for back massage to help ease the pain. Now on the brighter side, the staff at this resort is exceptional. I had a great time around the pool with the entert [... read more]ainment staff. The buffet food was very good, the other restaurants where very good staff excellent in all food areas. great selection of food choice as well.. I would come back to this resort again but a few changes would have to happen in order to get my business again..

Riu Palace Antillas: Great resort

We loved the RUI. The resort was very clean, ate at al la cartes all 7 nights and dinners were excellent. Wi-fi is available through out entire resort and even the beach (although know should unplug while on vacation.) Only thing I would say needs improvement would be night entertainment. Would go back again for sure love that only a 20minite rode from airport.

Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort: Five stars resort

Amsterdam Manor in Eagle Beach is in a fantastic location in Aruba with few good restaurants, shopping and entertainment options near by. The room looked exactly as pictured, super clean and comfortable. It was very easy to communicate with the stuff, they do everything to make staying at this place a great experience! I can only recommend this hotel, five stars!

Riu Palace Antillas: Fabulous resort

The hotel was amazing, clean and very friendly staff. The manager greeted us on our first day, he welcomed us and asked if everything was to our satisfaction. The staff at the reception/main lobby was also very helpful. Bartenders and servers all very helpful, the whole resort was very clean. Excellent place to vacation, we'd definitely be back.

Riu Palace Aruba: Paradise

Our stay was absolutely amazing. Check in was a breeze, we received our envelope and within 20 minutes, we were all settled by the pool. Our room was clean, spacious, and the best part was the ocean view from the window AND the balcony... Simply stunning. The cleaning lady did an amazing job every day and our fridge was always filled. At the pool bar, excellent service. Entertainment was great, both during the day by the pool and at night upstairs. Alex at the bar upstairs makes the best drinks. [... read more] Jonathan and Mary at Riu Antillas were amazing too! They made it a fun night, every night. A very special thank you to the gentleman who took care of us at the buffet every night, and set up a surprise table for my boyfriend on his birthday. They sang him happy birthday and brought a cake out for him with candles. The food.. The steakhouse was awesome! The Italian restaurant was great too, the buffet has so many options and a different theme every night, food was delicious. The beach area is beautiful and very well taken care of, always clean. It's also a great location, we went for walks every day, on the beach and outside of our resort. Our stay was perfect, from beginning to end. I would definitely recommend this resort.

Riu Palace Antillas: Fabulous Resort

Great vacation! Rooms were nice, staff was great, pool and beach were awesome. Enjoyed the casinos in both Riu Hotels. Food was really good, including the buffets. I would highly recommend this resort!

Riu Palace Antillas: Riu Palace Aruba is a great place for the family

Overall the hotel is great. excellent service and staff. the grounds/rooms are clean and well maintained. the food and restaurants are well above average for an all-inclusive, especially the buffet (we usually aren't big fans) changing the variety daily. the proximity of the hotel for walking the beach/boardwalk to see the shops and various beach bars is perfect. Also for walking down the street to the shops, restaurants and coffee shops at night. very safe. $11 taxi ride to downtown Oranjesta [... read more]d but the area near the hotel is better. great nightlife. beach is beautiful and clean. the island is safe to explore. we rented a jeep and toured the entire island on our own. on the downside is the lack of quality beer and alcohol. only one type of beer. the hot tub in the pool was broken the entire week. The one pool table in the sports bar was also out of order all week and the second pool table wasn't working for the last part of the week with no repair date set (we asked). overall we had a great time and would recommend Aruba and Riu Palace to everyone.

Riu Palace Antillas: Beautiful beaches

The hotel is in a great location not far from shops and restaurants. It’s a very large hotel with lots of dinning options. This is our 4th time visiting Aruba and our first time at the Riu. We had perfect service the staff was great. And never bothering you for tips. The pools are large lots of options and shaded areas. My only down fall would be the rooms they are a little dated. But very large and clean. The hallway carpet has a bit of a smell and is very old but overall we had a great time  [... read more]at this beautiful resort. Thanks riu antillas

Riu Palace Antillas: Great food, great people!

I was extremely pleased with the quality of food. Even the hamburgers were delicious! Everything, from the entrees to the desserts, was a feast to the palate. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness, both inside and out, was obviously a big priority. The staff were always available and eager to meet our every need. The only complaint I have is that the hotel Riu Palace Antillas requires serious renovations and updating. Many times we had to open the toilet tank to replace the  [... read more]chain that kept falling out, to allow the water to flush. The stopper to the bathtub didn't have a chain to pull on to allow the water to drain. We used a nail file to pry the plug up before we could remove it. The mattress and pillows were very outdated and lumpy. In general, the hotel is very drab in colour and lighting. The Riu Palace Aruba, next door, was recently renovated. The lobby was gorgeous. The only reason we didn't book that one is because it was a family resort rather than an adult-only resort.

Riu Palace Aruba: Beautiful Beach

Great pool and beach Poolside waiters Raoul and Nelson were amazing. Rest of the staff could care less that you were a guest. Beds were comfy but pillows suck. Small and lumpy. Asked for new ones at front desk and never did get them. Room cleaning was hit and miss - short on towels, no water fill up in fridge. For a 5 star disappointing. Entertainment was mediocre. Acrobats were good but same performers each night with different costumes. Charlie's bar in st Nicholas was a blast. Rent a ve [... read more]hicle and take a tour. Weather was amazing, nice warm breezes. That's why you go to Aruba. For the price- double some other tropical locations- the RIU was disappointing. I would recommend going because of the weather not the hotel.

Riu Palace Antillas: Even better than the 1st time!

Our second time visiting Aruba and staying at this resort. Once you step off that bus, you enter a world of amazing service, friendly people who appear to truly enjoy their jobs, incredible food with large variety and freshness day after day and immaculate cleanliness. Managers always circling the resort - highly visible and engaging - ensuring guests are satisfied and enjoying themselves. Gomez and Justin were an amazing part of our trip. Engaging, entertaining and always going above and beyo [... read more]nd to ensure the guests were happy. They made an incredible difference to everyone they encountered. The beaches are well maintained and service to get chairs reserved is efficient and easy for guests. Only negative comment I will continue to say is the lack of engagement and participation from the entertainment team. They are not visible nor engaging. With Aruba having the best beaches in the world you would expect them to walk the beach to talk to guests and be as entertaining as they marginally are at the pool. The entertainment team helps make a vacation even more fun. It’s just a tip to make this resort even better since they’re already awesome. Will be back yet again next year. Love this place and would recommend it to anyone and everyone !
