Jun 30, 2025Great property!
This was one of the best around properties I have stayed at. The management was awesome. Enjoyed the large variety of food each day. We felt safe and the property is close to shopping stores.

Great trip
Aruba is awesome. We will return in the near future. Riu is good too. The food/hotel were great, lobsters/steaks/seafood were fresh. The beach and pools are beautiful. The cleaning staff was honest. I forgot to close the safe. She told us she put a do-not-disturb sign so no one would go in. Nothing was missing.

Very good but far from perfect
This is the third time we have been to Riu Palace Antillas and here is my honest review. The staff are some of the most welcoming, helpful and attentive people that I've ever met. Any time there was an issue, they were immediately there to help. This hotel is all inclusive and all of the food and drinks are included with your stay. The food is good but gets repetitive if you are staying for longer than a couple days. There are several restaurants but the menu doesn't have that much variety so it will feel like a bit of the same after awhile. You can get drinks at the hotel bar, poolside bar, outside bar or you can get beer/wine at all the restaurants. At the full service hotel bar, poolside or outside, you can get anything you'd like and it's well worth the all-inclusive package. The rooms are clean and spacious. But the beds are absolutely terrible and too firm. Additionally, they only give you sheets to cover yourself which I have found to be a bit too little if you like the air conditioner cranked down. On the flip side of things, the balconies can house two people and you get a nice view of Palm Beach. My one major complaint was we kept having issues accessing our room. The key card readers kept having issues with the battery and we were unable to access our room on multiple occasions. This required us to keep going up and down which was a royal pain. Overall, it is a nice hotel that is adults only and worth it for the all-inclusive alone. Aruba is one of the safest Islands in the Caribbean and well worth visiting.

We'll Be Back
We loved our stay at the Riu Palace Antillas. The staff was wonderful, welcoming and friendly. Our only recommendation is to change the location of the steakhouse to accommodate more people. It was a frustration that it took us 3 days to finally get in on the first seating. We are older and eat earlier. If you're not in line by 5:15, you're not getting in at 6. Standing in line in the heat for 45 minutes was hard for us, due to health issues.
