    Awful Hotel and Management

    One of the worst hotels I have stayed in ever. Rooms are dated. AC didn’t work properly. Food is below average. The General Manager of the hotel refused to meet me despite my trying to see him 3 times and leaving my mobile number. They advertise their theme restaurants as part of the value proposition, but you have to start lining up at 5:15 in hopes of getting a slot. Obviously they would prefer you dine at their buffet for all meals. Simply a terrible experience and certainly not worth the price.

    Poor customer service and no rewards at RIU Antillas

    Promised rewards of VIP airport lounge access, transport to, and from airport, and two free massages, were not provided despite frequent contacts with customer services. The call center was also useless. Food was mediocre. Hotel staff was very nice however

    MET MORE THAN MY EXPECTATIONS!

    We chose the RIU ANTILLAS because 1) we wanted no children(no insult to anyone!) 2)*** all inclusive primarily just had in mind we will use it for breakfast possible lunch and day drinking.. well I MUST SAY EVERYTHING EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!! we were on the 12th floor #1206 they called it a "jr.suite w/ ocean view" wonderful ocean view ,great CLEAN ROOM good AC ,king size comfortable bed a huge shower with 2 different shower heads, great water pressure...2 seperate sinks a plus for me! now THE FOOD.. yes, the "restaurants" that DO require reservations get filled very very early BUT if you dont mind eating about 8-8;30 pm you will be just fine..which we were(like going out with friends to dinner on a sat. night!) the Arubian Steakhouse was good, i dont prefer steak but went because my other half loves it...he had a NY strip which he said was quite delicious and I had a VERY GOOD LOBSTER TAIL! with as many sides as you wish.. NOW..one night we didnt feel like waiting for a reservation, so we went to the BUFFET. IT WAS OUTSTANDING!! EVERY NIGHT IS A DIFFERENT THEME&CULINARY ..One night was Latin food -one night Arubian-one night Mexican as so fourth.. I AM VERY PICKY and everything was delicious!! AND live music to the theme of the night .. My original plan to go out in town for dinner ASSUMING the all inclusive food was going to be mediocre. WRONG!! it truly was wonderful!! the staff was always pleasant and eager to help! the POOL... so YES.. the downside.. you DO need to go EARLY ,that's ONLY to get a really good spot! ( i always went about 7;15 am ) and was able to choose a great spot at the pool and/or a beach hut) sometimes i would just put my towel down and go back to bed ! lol.... there is ALWAYS a wait staff coming around with fresh glasses of lemon ice water and asking if you would like a drink... needless to say the RIU ANTILLAS EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS and I will be going back in FEB! see you soon :)

    Good not Great.

    Awesome resort as I travelled with 31 other people for a wedding. Great location and the beach access is awesome. Although recently upgraded, things are showing their age (Elevators, doors). It was hit and miss with staff. Some are just in it for the tips, others seem to care about just having a job. Food was just good, but you can use the buffet restaurant at the Palace next door and I suggest you do. The service there was much better, but overall a good resort.
