Search Residences in Dutch Antilles

"The check in staff were friendly and absolutely amazing. My room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The only downside for me was no access to the beach due to seaweed. Which I know is apart of nature but I primarily booked the resort for beach access. I would definitely stay again "

"Nice Staff"

"I think just avoid all inclusive in Aruba but I’d definitely not come back to the Riu Aruba Palace Antillas. The value is just not there at all. The real issue is the food. Other than breakfast and some dishes at the Krystal restaurant, it was really inedible. You can’t make reservations for dinner and most had hour plus wait times by 6:30pm (and you were waiting for not great food). There is basically no food between lunch and dinner. So many of the waitresses were unbelievably nice. Hitting head on the lamp wasn’t fun (it’s on top of bed?). The pool and beach were unusable a lot of the time as zero available chairs by 7am and no one doing their job to bring chairs around usually. The entertainment was lowly attended most nights and there was not much going on at the resort. The dancers and some singers and shows were good. The bars stock only certain quantities of alcohols like Tito’s and don’t not refill when they run out. All the bartenders were super nice. We were told by the doorman he couldn’t find us a cab and it’d be better to find it on the street (which was difficult). I complained about the food and was hoping there’d be some type of change but it really was just a serious problem. I basically stuck to breakfast which was good and then salads. I have a severe mango and papaya allergy which was quite hard to navigate, so I couldn’t eat fruit. The management was nonexistent. The internet never worked and you had to reconnect every time you wanted to use it. "

"Very good staff and good food wifi very good "

"Absolutely beautiful clean hotel in the perfect location. Staff was super accommodating and friendly. Pools and beach was amazing. Highly recommend "

"It was supposed to be all inclusive but in fact it really wasn't. Room service wasn't included. You couldn't get reservations for the other restaurants on the property and you had to eat at the buffet for the first dinner. I've never heard of such a thing. We went off property to eat some nice meals but ended up spending even more money."

"My stay at Sonesta was a bit of a mixed experience. There were several maintenance issues in the room that really shouldn’t have been overlooked. The shower head needed fixing, the AC seemed stuck at 18 degrees the entire time, and the Body Soap, Shampoo and conditioner dispensers were broken, which was inconvenient. The pool area was also disappointing. There’s only one pool, and it was consistently very crowded, making it hard to actually enjoy. That said, the staff were genuinely nice and helpful, which made a positive difference during the stay. Overall, it has potential, but the property really needs better upkeep and attention to detail."

"Very relaxing, clean room and resort, really nice and welcoming staff all around!"

"The resort was wonderful! Lots of pools and restaurants and the beach was lovely. All of the staff that we encountered was fantastic as well. It is conveniently located a short drive from the airport and both capitals with ample safe parking. It was also an easy walk to lots of off-site dining options. My only regret would be not trying any of the boat excursions listed on the back of the activities guide - maybe next time."
