About Riu Palace Antillas - Adults Only - All Inclusive

Picture a day here as a slow slide from morning to midnight, with the all-inclusive format keeping everything close. Mornings can start at the coffee shop or the restaurant, and then the day drifts toward the water. Riu Palace Antillas is beachfront with a private beach area, where sun loungers or beach chairs and sun umbrellas are set out for guests. If lying still isn't the plan, you can head out on the water with the on-site water sport facilities, plus snorkelling and diving. Because the resort is adults only, the mood stays relaxed and grown-up. A guest rating of 8.1 from 1,051 reviews suggests many travelers enjoy that rhythm.

Midday is for the outdoor pool, with a pool bar for a drink and a hot tub for lingering. The terrace and garden give you somewhere to sit out of the water, and the snack bar covers the hours between meals. Wine and champagne and fresh fruit are part of the food and drink picture too. Active travelers have the fitness center, with aerobics and other fitness classes on the schedule, and table tennis for a more playful workout. For the opposite approach, book a massage or beauty treatment in the spa and wellness center, then wind down in the steam room.

Evenings give the stay its personality. Themed dinner nights change up the rhythm of the evening meal, and the entertainment staff bring live music and performances. Anyone keen to follow a big game can watch live sport broadcasts, and the shared lounge/TV area makes a quieter place to settle in. When you want a bigger night, the casino and the nightclub with a DJ are on the property, so there is no need to go looking for the party.

The practical side is easy. WiFi and parking are both free, the front desk is open 24 hours, and the concierge service and tour desk can help you plan time away from the resort. Car hire is available too. Round-the-clock security and key card access add peace of mind, and contactless check-in and check-out is offered. Check-out is at 12:00 PM.

The private beach area belongs to the resort, so the sand is part of the daily routine rather than a trip.

Guests arriving by car can use free parking, and the front desk is staffed 24 hours, so late arrivals are covered.
