Top Santa Cruz Hotel Reviews

Hotel Riu Palace Antillas - Adults Only - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Palace Antillas - Adults Only - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"Getting I to the smaller specialty restaurants for dinner was very awkward. You had to get in a kine at 5:30 to put your name in at 6:00 and then go directly into the restaurant or get a time to come back later. If you come at 8:00, they may not be taking anymore seatings even though there are plenty of tables. But they have been reserved for a certain time. It is just so awkward to get ready for dinner so early when you might not get in until later."
