The modern interior design of the Riu Palace Antillas follows the style the RIU Hotel chain is using for its new projects. Its 482 rooms will have satellite flat screen TV, an electronic safe and free Wi-Fi Internet service.
In terms of food and drink, the star will be the Atlantis restaurant (below), which offers international cuisine and stations with freshly cooked dishes.
There are also three speciality restaurants: the fusion restaurant Krystal, the Italian Rimini and the Malmok steakhouse.
Guests can enjoy a snack at the Palm Beach pool restaurant, as well as refreshments and cocktails at the pool bar Aqua or the Wayaka lobby bar.
Besides, the hotel has an elegant café, open around the clock, that offers customers a delicious range of cakes and pastries.
