Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Riu Palace Antillas
J. E. Irausquin Blvd. 77, Palm Beach, n/a Aruba, Aruba
Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.
Right next door to Hotel Riu Palace Aruba, its family-friendly sister, this high-rise tower is strictly for adults, offering all-inclusive rates and a fabulous pool area right on the beach as well as stellar sea views from many rooms. The hotel has its own themed restaurants, a nightclub, casino, gym, and a spa. A bonus is that guests can also avail themselves of all the facilities next door at the sister resort, giving them far more choices of dining, entertainment, and activities.
PROS
- full bottles of standard spirits, beer, and soft drinks in all rooms
- arguably the best and biggest all-inclusive buffet on the island
- 24/7 room service included
- only adults 18 and over
CONS
- rooms are small by modern standards
- common areas appear more corporate than resort-tropical
- not all rooms have a sea view
