Oct 21, 2025Resort visit
Food and location was excellent. Loved the swim up bar and direct beach access. There is a short walking distance to a variety of bars, market place and restaurants.

Everything you want for a beach vacation
What a fabulous week!! Everything was outstanding. Every single person that worked there was out to make your stay amazing. Facility was spotless. Rooms were spacious. Our room overlooked the pool and ocean. Food and drinks were delicious--buffets or specialty restaurants. Beach and pool were awesome-bartenders and pool attedants were so attentive. Having the resort on the beach is so convenient. We really enjoyed the poolside and nightly entertainment. Brendan, Tyrese and Axel were absolutely amazing. They made everyone feel welcome. Worth going just to see them dance!! I highly recommend this vacation spot.

Amazing Hositpity at the Riu Antillas
My husband and I I arrived at the Riu Antillas and after we checked into our room we received a phone call from Kevin,who manages the front desk. He asked how our check in process went. We have stayed at this hotel three times and we love the views. This time our view was obstructed. I informed him of that and he immediately tried to find a way to make our view more in the realm of what we were used to. He was able to change our room and my husband and I could not have been happier. True, genuine hospitality. Thank you, Kevin!!! The best part was that I went to the front desk to thank Kevin again, he looked at me, remembered our room number and called me by name. Special! We will be back…again.

Best vacation spot for couples
Everything was excellent including the all inclusive food, staff, drinks, the room and the hotel. We had the room on the top floor for couples. I wish we had the balcony facing the ocean but our view of the city and partial ocean view was nice. The bathroom was a walk in shower with all the amenities. The entire hotel was always clean. Everything was in walking distance but if you have health issues then you don’t want to walk too far. The atmosphere was warm and inviting centered around vacation/ island mode. The lobby was loud at night but the hallway by our room was always quiet. We stayed at the adult only resort with all inclusive. Definitely worth it.

Oct 07, 2025Riu Antillas – Extremely Disappointed! Stay at Riu Palace Instead!
Riu Antillas – Extremely Disappointed! Stay at Riu Palace Instead! ⭐ We stayed at Riu Antillas, but ended up spending most of our time next door at the Riu Palace, and thank God for that! The difference between the two is night and day. The vibe, energy, and friendliness at the Palace are on another level. A huge shoutout to Dulcinea at the pool bar — she was an absolute gem! Her kindness and positive energy made our trip so much better. Unfortunately, Antillas was a huge letdown. A very disturbing incident happened at their steakhouse, and it completely ruined our impression of the resort. For four nights in a row, we tried to get a reservation with no luck. Finally, one evening they signed us up, gave us a ringer, and told us to arrive by 6:30 PM. We waited patiently until 8:00 PM, and when the ringer finally started blinking, we went to the entrance. The hostess coldly told us she hadn’t called us and still had seven parties ahead — even though we had been sitting there the entire time with a blinking ringer in hand. Then things got even worse. The steakhouse manager, Lissette, came over and was shockingly rude and disrespectful. When my husband tried to read her name tag after asking for her name, she hit his hand and his phone fell to the ground. We immediately reported the situation to the manager on duty, expecting at least an apology or some action — but nothing was done. Absolutely no accountability. This was completely unacceptable behavior from a supposed “all-inclusive, adult-only, four-star” resort. We felt disrespected, ignored, and disappointed. If you’re planning to visit Aruba and want a relaxing, friendly, and respectful experience — skip Antillas and stay at Riu Palace instead. The difference in service, attitude, and atmosphere is unbelievable.
