RIU Hotels & Resorts has announced the incorporation of a second hotel on the island of Aruba, scheduled to open in October.
The Riu Palace Antillas is located next to the Riu Palace Aruba directly on the beautiful Palm Beach, and will be exclusively for over 18s. The hotel will offer the acclaimed RIU All Inclusive 24-hour program, complemented by the luxury services available at the RIU Palace Adults Only hotels such as a welcome glass of cava, concierge, 24-hour room service and free Wi-Fi internet service throughout the hotel.
The Riu Palace Antillas enriches the chain's product range on the heavenly island of Aruba, a destination where the company opened the Riu Palace Aruba in 2007. The new RIU hotel, which has 482 rooms, will offer a buffet restaurant with international cuisine, culinary stations with dishes prepared on the spot and three speciality restaurants. Customers will also be able to enjoy soft drinks and cocktails at any of its three bars, including one by the poolside. There is also an elegant patisserie-cafe open 24 hours a day.
As an added attraction, given that the two hotels are neighbors, guests of the Riu Palace Antillas will also be able to enjoy the Riu Palace Aruba's facilities.
The entertainment program offers sporting and leisure activities during the day, and live music and shows at night. Furthermore, the Riu Palace Antillas has a nightclub, with entrance and drinks forming part of the All Inclusive programme, and a full casino.
The international RIU chain was founded in Mallorca by the Riu family in 1953 as a small holiday firm and is still owned by the family's third generation. The company specialises in holiday resorts and nearly 70% of its establishments offer its acclaimed All Inclusive by RIU service.
With the inauguration of its first city hotel in 2010, RIU is expanding its range of products with its own line of city hotels called Riu Plaza. RIU Hotels & Resorts now has more than 100 hotels in 16 countries which welcome over 3,5 million guests a year and provide jobs for a total of 27,107 employees.
RIU is currently the world's 29th-ranked chain, one of the Caribbean's most popular, the largest in Spain in terms of revenue and the third largest in number of rooms.
