El Fraile Vacations from $972

We absolutely loved this property. Location was great. Close to everything. Very short walk to the boardwalk with lots of shopping options, restaurants, beaches. The food was great, we did the half board and we were able to switch our dinner to lunch. The pool was great, lots of chairs, but you need to get there early to put your towel down and reserve a spot. The rooftop bar was so, so lovely. Beautiful views, good drinks, and a few appetizer options. The sunset was gorgeous. The rooms are very spacious, clean, and the AC worked great. The sofa bed could be replaced. We did not use it but it didn't look great. We had a pool view and the patio was big. Great for the value

Nice hotel and grounds with good access to the boardwalk. We stayed at the RIU Arecas, the hotel immediately behind it. The RIU Palace is a good hotel if you want larger hotel gardens and boardwalk access for the elderly etc. However, if you don’t mind walking down a large flight of steps, the RIU Arecas is the same standard and had better food.

We've always wnjoyed our stay at Riu. Check in and out super easy. The use of the Riu app to make restsurant reservationds, special room requests, and maintenance repairs easy to make. Poperty is clean and well kept.

Great hotel for families! Lots to do including kids club, entertainment and live music at night. The shows were phenomenal and all the staff we encountered were fantastic. The food including the a la carte restaurants were good and catered well for our family despite there being a vegetarian and a gluten free member.

The place and staff very beautiful and helpful, but not much to do around the area.
