Hotel Riu Palace Antillas - Adults Only - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Palace Antillas - Adults Only - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was nothing short of phenomenal! The staff were amazing, the amenities were wonderful, and the food was way better than I expected. Top quality, and the staff were so helpful and friendly. My only wish is that we'd known more about the Elite Club upgrade so we could have reserved dinner spots and truly tried each restaurant, but it was still great. The beach is first come, first served, so you'll want to be up early for a good spot. There are plenty, though, and if you go midday around 1 or 2, you can usually catch one! The beach and ocean were clean and gorgeous. I've never had a stay like this, and not having to take a golf cart to get anywhere was my favorite part. The casino was a major plus! The staff were so understanding when I wasn't sure how to play at the tables. They helped me learn, and I honestly had a great time. I'd go back just for the casino experience. The island is super safe, and no one tries to steal anything. Make sure you book your excursions through the hotel, because the staff are so helpful and nice, especially at De Palm Tours. Top of the line equipment and friendly staff! This was a much needed trip, and I cannot recommend it enough. I can't wait to go back!"

"Had a great one week stay at the Barcelo. Clean rooms, pleasant staff for the most part. The location can’t be beat. Right on Palm beach and across from a vibrant shop and food area. The food at the resort was okay, do not expect gourmet offerings and you will not be disappointed. Will be back."
