Great food and location but dated

The food is amazing! Unfortunately the hotel is dated, the beds weren’t very comfortable and we needed someone to do repairs twice while we were there for the week. The pool and beach are great and the staff are very friendly.

Overall Awesome Resort!

I really enjoyed the beaches, food and entertainment! Room I was upgraded to a top view which was a big bonus! Only downside I would say is due to a bad back I expected better beds because I did not have good sleep at all. I have been to other resorts and spent less and beds were much more comfortable. Please make that an improvement for the future.

Great Resort

It was clean. Staff was great & helpful. Entertainment was great. Pool side entertainment was great. Room was sufficient. Food was good, being a picky eater myself, I enjoyed all the I tried. Beach was amazing & always clean. Only complaint would be that they watered down the drinks a bit.

Fantastic Vacation

The service at this hotel is the best I have had. All of the staff made me feel special and ensured I had everything I needed. I was surprised at how good the food was in an all inclusive hotel. The room was a little dated, but it was very clean every day.

Not an amazing resort

Hotel was not what we expected and what was advertised on the site. Very old and things are broken in the room. Balcony door not easy to open or not working, bathroom horrible, beds are not comfortable. Service was ok. Not being able to reserve for the A La Carte restaurants was a nightmare. One night at the Italian restaurant the wait was 2 hrs and then no waiter came to the table until 15 mins later. The restaurant was closing so we got the remnants. Horrible! Horrible! The Hotel manag [... read more]er tried to make up for it but this is still not acceptable. Did not get what we paid for. I would give this hotel a 1 - 2 rating. Would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Fantastic stay

The hotel staff were amazing, always friendly. The beach was beautiful. The rooms could use a bit of a paint touch up, but other than that I have no complaints about anything. There was lots of variety in the restaurant options at the resort, and all the food was sooo good! My least favourite restaurant was the steak house.

Nice resort with friendly staff

While the hotel is dated (by dated I don't mean run down, just a little older), the hotel is clearly one on the better ones on the strip. The restaurants are all good, the staff is friendly and eager to help and they don't cheap out on the booze at any bar. The beach is kept clean and the beach staff will get you whatever you need. We had a great time and would recommend this resort to anyone.

Its a Mini Vegas on an Island

One of the best vacations we have been on. Aruba is gorgeous, windy but still everything and more you can ask for. There is less than a 1% crime rate so you can basically go anywhere at anytime. There is so much to do you can walk to downtown or palm beach where they have restaurants, bars, shopping and a mall. If you like Vegas you will love Aruba, every resort/hotel has its own casino. They only accept American but pay you in American as well and its not like a resort casino, they pay very we [... read more]ll. We stayed at the Riu Antillas Resort this was our 3rd Riu and we were so pleased. We received a free room upgrade with both ocean and city view, the rooms are a bit outdated bed was hard but still we were in Aruba. All of the a la carte restaurants were yummy no waiting in line as it was an adults only resort, buffet was great lots to choose from and because we stayed at Riu Antillas we also got to go to the other Riu resort as eat and play there. You just can't eat dinner. The gym was great lots of equipment, warm but still one of the best gym's I have seen when on vacation. Drinks, too much alcohol your better off mixing your own unless you want to get drunk off of your first drink ;) we would defiantly go back I miss Aruba so much

Amazing Resorr

We went to the Rui Palace Antilles for our honeymoon. We chose the Riu brand based on our previous experience with Riu. The Palace Antilles has superb service, great restaurants and amazing beaches. We were totally pampered at this luxury resort! We cannot wait to return!

Highly recommend

My husband and I celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary at this beautiful resort. We were extremely pleased with the efficiency and friendliness of the staff. The food was amazing and the resort spotlessly clean. The beach and water was perfect. We felt very safe, and unlike other resorts we've visited there is no need for a gated community or armed security. We could walk freely anywhere and take the bus into town. It surely is one happy island as they say.

Amazing Resort!

We arrived at the Riu Antilles to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary and the resort by far exceeded all of our expectations. The service is exceptional with friendly and courteous staff, the rooms are spacious and comfortable, the grounds are always clean and well maintained, the food was excellent with a variety to choose from and there was always excellent evening entertainment. We will definitely recommend this resort to all our friends and will stay here again if we ever return to Aruba. [... read more] Thank you Riu for making our stay a comfortable and relaxing.

Amazing resort

Everything was great about this resort very clean, rooms were good, beach was fantastic. the only thing that I did not like was the first 100 feet or so of the beach area, it was rocky and not very sandy, hard on the feet.

Great Accommodation - would definately go back

The food was exceptional such a variety, the staff were superb and every little detail was taken care off with a smiling genuine caring attitude. The cleanliness of the pool and beach areas were exceptional along with the great staff and different areas for eating. My only comment which I would add is when a flight is delayed and you can't get any tea or coffee because everything is closed so early in the morning perhaps this could be changed to accommodate the traveler.

Riu Aruba

This an amazing resort. If you can't have good time here you have a problem.The food service and activies were fantastic and the rooms were great. Thank you Riu Antillas for a great time and thank you for putting us up for an extra night .

In need of upgrade badly

The rooms are outdated, the bed was horrible, the wood furniture on the balcony without even any cushions.The food was plentiful but the meat was tough! The grounds and area very well kept and clean. Front desk does not do much to help you when needed. Loved Aruba but will not return to this resort. For a 5 star hotel and the money spent definitely NOT worth it. Sunwing reps were amazingly helpful we did 4 excursions with them loved every one. The photo shop in the LL inside the door took s [... read more]ome amazing pictures of us.

So Relaxing

We had an amazing hotel. Friendly staff and great service. The resort is a little tired and could use a refresh! There are no reservations for dinner so that took a night to figure out. We enjoyed the entertainment. Book with the hotel or your tour guide for off resort excursions. The beach vendors may be cheaper, but trust me there is a reason.

Awesome Experience

Everything from service, food, location, entertainment options was top notch. We will definitely return to the Riu Palace Antillas. It is within walking distance to many shops and restaurants and is a very safe island.

Great vacation

Excellent resort,great staff,great location. Nice beach, Enjoyed food in every restaurant. Older resort except well maintained. Receive upgrade to better room at no additional cost. Month of March is more windy except we add sun every day.
