    Honeymoon Stay

    We stayed at the Riu Palace Antillas for 7 days for our honeymoon. Aruba was beautiful and the resort rocked! We loved our stay and was very sad to leave. Thank you to the staff that showed us a great time!

    Thanksgiving in paradise

    The place itself was beautiful and clean, the beaches, and pools never any trash at all. The beds, 50/50 not too bad but not great either. That is the only complaint. The employees at this resort was unbelievable. I was very impressed, from the waitress staff, entertainers, the towel hut( Palua) the front desk much better than I’ve seen at 5star resorts. Hope to make it back there

    I loved RIU

    Again no complaints about RIU at all. Here in Aruba the food was much better compared to Cancun and another places we have been.

    You just have to go.

    Oddly enough I'm writing this review and I'm not sure where to start or what I can really say other than you have to go here. The Riu Antilles Arrival & Check-In: Upon arrival at the resort, we were warmly welcomed by the staff, who provided refreshing drinks and a quick and smooth check-in process. Accommodation: We stayed in an city/oceanview room, and it was absolutely perfect. The room was spacious, clean, and well-maintained with a large balcony offering views of the turquoise water and town views.we had morning sun which allowed us to sit outside late afternoons without burning in the sun. The bed was comfortable, and the bathroom had all the amenities you could need, including a large walk-in shower and bath robes. The room also has a stocked minibar and fridge with soft drinks water and beer and coffee machine. Housekeeping was always on point, and the room was refreshed daily with fresh towels coffee and water. Dining: As an all-inclusive resort, the Riu Antilles offers a wide variety of dining options, and we were impressed with the quality and variety of food. The main buffet restaurant, "La Toscana," had a great selection of international dishes, with themed nights that kept things exciting. We also enjoyed dining at the specialty restaurants, particularly the "Italian Trattoria," where the service was impeccable and the food absolutely delicious. The on-site bars, including the swim-up bar, offered excellent cocktails, and the beachside bar was the perfect spot to enjoy sunset drinks. Service & Management: A special highlight of our stay was the exceptional management team, led by Alejandro, who played a key role in ensuring our experience was flawless. Alejandro’s professionalism and attentiveness were evident from the moment we arrived. He checked in on us regularly to make sure everything was to our satisfaction and took the time to engage with guests, creating a personalized and welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that the management at Riu Antilles is dedicated to providing the highest level of service, and Alejandro’s leadership sets the tone for the entire team. From the restaurant staff to the concierge, every employee was friendly and eager to make our stay memorable. Beach & Pool: The beach at Riu Antilles is simply stunning. The soft white sand and clear waters are perfect for a relaxing day in the sun or swimming in the gentle waves. The resort provides plenty of lounge chairs and beach palapa’s , so there's always space to unwind. The pool area is equally inviting, with two large pools, one with a swim-up bar, and plenty of shaded areas for lounging. Whether you prefer to soak up the sun or enjoy a refreshing dip, both the beach and pool offer the perfect spots to relax. Overall Experience: Our stay at the Riu Antilles was nothing short of fantastic. The combination of stunning surroundings, excellent all-inclusive dining, spacious accommodations, and exceptional service made it the perfect vacation destination. We left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated. A big thank you to Alejandro and the entire management team for making our experience extra special! Tips for Future Guests: Try the themed buffet dinners for a chance to sample different international flavors. If you're looking for a peaceful experience, opt for early mornings at the pool or beach before it gets busy. You have to try the Riu party on Friday’s, it’s a blast.
