"We stayed at RIU Aquarelle, Falmouth in July 2026 as a family of 14 (ages 5–80) and had a great vacation.
We've had mixed experiences with all-inclusive resorts, so we arrived with modest expectations. RIU Aquarelle pleasantly surprised us. Although it's a smaller resort, I think that's one of its strengths—it was well maintained, well organized, and consistently delivered a great experience.
Highlights:
⭐ Outstanding evening entertainment. The RIU entertainment team was fantastic, and Miguel deserves a special mention for bringing incredible energy every night.
🍽️ The buffet was very good, with lots of variety. The themed restaurants were average to good.
☕ The Capuccino Café was a great addition for specialty coffees and desserts.
🎢 The water slides and splash park kept the kids and teens busy.
🏖️ Beautiful beach with soft white sand. Watch for a few coral rocks under the water—water shoes are a good idea. The sea was a little rough at times.
😊 The staff were warm, friendly, and always helpful. Tipping isn't required but is genuinely appreciated.
🛏️ Rooms were clean and comfortable.
A couple of suggestions: Our Junior Suite had two double beds and a pull-out sofa. Two adults sharing a double bed felt cramped—queen beds would be a big improvement. Also, the three pools are side by side, so when one gets loud, it's hard to find a quieter area.
Overall, excellent value and a resort we'd happily recommend to families and groups."
