Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms are not so good and definitely reminded me of a budget chain. They could use some refreshing as they are old-looking, just okay, which is what I would expect being in the Caribbean. The service was attentive and went out of their way to make our experience special, even arranging a special song for our anniversary. The location is also very nice and quiet, just a 2-minute walk from the bustling town full of restaurants and shops. The dining experience was enjoyable with a Mexican theme and live music. The facilities are decent, but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel was a mixed experience with clean and functional rooms but lacking in overall cleanliness and maintenance. The service was friendly and accommodating, although some aspects were not up to resort standards. The location offers easy access to the beach and local amenities, but there are some minor inconveniences. The dining options were varied and enjoyable, especially for themed nights. However, the facilities could use some improvement to enhance the overall guest experience.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with a well-stocked fridge, but the noisy pool and bar music were a bit of a letdown. The service varied from good to not so great. The location was ideal for evening strolls near restaurants and shops, but the constant noise from the entertainment team was overwhelming. The dining experience was fantastic with a wide variety of delicious options. Overall, a mixed experience with some highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel's location is fantastic, right on the beach with plenty of sunbeds and attentive staff. The rooms were clean but lacked a decent view, and the mattress wasn't the best. The service was exceptional, with staff always available to assist and even organizing fun activities like water volleyball. The dining options were good despite some issues with the buffet. The facilities were a bit tired but spotless.
My stay at the hotel was enjoyable overall, with clean and comfortable rooms but some areas needing improvement. The staff was friendly and attentive, making my experience pleasant. The location was vibrant, although dining options and facilities had some drawbacks. The value for money was decent considering the offerings.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Riu Antillas. The location was breathtaking, with beautiful pools and beach areas, although the dirty and outdated hotel next to it was a downside. The service varied from exceptional to poor, but the facilities were exceptional overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location on Palm Beach was great and the service was exceptional, the rooms were a bit outdated and overlooked an alley with dumpsters, lacking maintenance. The dining options were amazing, but the facilities left much to be desired.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms offered a beautiful view, but we had a few issues like a non-functional outlet which made charging our electronics a challenge. The bathroom was fine but could use some freshening up, and there was a strange smell in the hallways. Overall, it was a great vacation and good value, despite some room issues like a broken slider door, leaking fridge, and dirty bathroom.
The hotel offers amazing pool-view rooms and fell short of meeting some expectations, especially in addressing late check-out requests. The location is part of a lively pool area close to the beach but lacks enough working elevators. Dining choices are diverse, and the self-serve buffet impresses guests.
The hotel is centrally located, offering easy access to activities and restaurants. While the rooms show signs of age and delays in check-in could be improved, the dedicated staff members provide outstanding service. Dining options are varied, although the nightly entertainment may be too loud for some.
Upon checking into room 1637, I found it to be very outdated and below the standard I expected from Riu hotels. The ceiling needed attention, which was disappointing. The service, while satisfactory in delivering the perfect lobster thermidor and crab cakes, felt lacking in friendliness and eagerness to please. The location, by the Hyatt and beach attendant, was great, but more effort in accommodation appearance is needed. The dining experience, especially at the Riu Antillas, was delightful, despite the buffet challenges. Overall, the poolside drink cups were a letdown due to their small size and flimsy material.
The hotel offers great ocean and pool views from the rooms, similar to popular chain hotels. However, the constant issue with mold required room changes multiple times. The service staff put in great effort to enhance guests' vacation experience but can be demanding for tips on an all-inclusive stay. The location is ideal for exploring the bustling town nearby, but securing a spot by the pool or beach can be competitive. The dining experience provides a variety of food options, including specialized sections for limited diets.
My stay at the hotel was a great vacation that offered good value. The rooms were clean but could use some updating. The bathroom was fine, but a little grouting was needed. The hallways had a strange smell. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. The view from the 14th floor was stunning. The only downside was that I didn't travel all the way to Aruba to stay in my room.
My stay was a mix of positives and some minor downsides. The hotel offered an ocean-view room on the 15th floor, although it could use a bit of freshening up in terms of bathroom grouting and hallway carpet. Overall, it was a great vacation at a good value, despite having a view of the roof on the 9th floor.
