Sabrina

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
During our stay, my daughter’s phone went missing from our room, and the way the hotel handled it was unacceptable. We were later contacted by a man who said he had the phone and claimed that “someone from the hotel gave it to him from lost and found.” He has yet to return the phone and is now making it sound like he wants money in exchange — essentially holding it for ransom. At no point did the hotel inform us the phone had been found or take any action to get it back for us. Instead, we were left to deal with a stranger, with no support, accountability, or urgency from hotel staff. Guests should feel confident their belongings are secure, and this experience has completely destroyed that trust. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who values safety, honesty, and professionalism.

The property was very clean and beautiful in its own way, however I was expecting it to be a little more glamorous perhaps a sparkling chandelier and more glitter. I felt the appearance was average but most definitely very clean. Also I would like to add the food could be a little warmer and mangoes I thought would be served with breakfast not with dinner. I did enjoy my stay and would return. I have stayed at the Riu franchise several times before but my first time at The Riu Palace Aquarelle.

Property is beautiful, rooms are spacious with amazing view of the ocean and property. My kids had fun at the Kids Club and I loved that they were included in the nightly entertainment activities. The food the first three days was not good, tasted bland, not well seasoned however after that it improved.

My stay at Hotel Riu Palace Aquarelle was fantastic! The resort was beautiful, the service was excellent, and everything was well-maintained. A special shoutout to Chavel and Dimitri at the bar—they were outstanding! They made me feel welcome every day, provided top-notch drinks, and went above and beyond to ensure I had a great experience. Their kindness and professionalism really made my trip memorable.

In general, the hotel is good but there are few things they could make some changes. For example, there are 2 swim up bar and one of them is only adult pool the other one is next to the family pool. The people could get loud and obnoxious with all the alcohol when there are family with small children. People need to know no kids are allowed in the swim up bar. Also the restaurant, could be better and the only one we enjoyed was the steakhouses and the buffet was really good. The room and the cleanliness was on point and there were in top of everything. I will go back to the hotel in low seasons.
