"The whole experience af Riu Palace Antillas was great! It’s worth it to upgrade to a partial ocean view or full ocean view suite. We were on the 17th floor at it was amazing. The resort is impeccably clean and staff are constantly working to maintain the cleanliness. The gym is well stocked with equipment and wasn’t busy - I was there every day. We loved that we could leave the resort and walk into town to go to the different shops. The beach is fantastic, white sand and turquoise water! Aruba is very windy so gals with long hair will want to prepare to have to wear their hair up every day so it isn’t blowing in your face all day. The food at Riu is awesome, my only complaint is that the dinner buffet opens at 6:30pm and I’m more of an early eater so would have appreciated if the dinner buffet started at 5 or 5:30pm. The food staff are amazing; they remembered who we were and what our drink orders were right down to what we put in our coffee. Lastly, I hope they eventually change the room keys to be attached to the resort bracelet. The key cards deactivate if placed against a phone and we had to reactivate our cards a couple times throughout our week long visit. "
