A new resort will soon open its doors in Aruba.

RIU Hotels and Resorts will debut its second hotel on the island, the Riu Palace Antillas, in October.

The property, which will be located next to the company’s Riu Palace Aruba hotel, is slated to open on Oct. 11, the company announced this week.

The new Riu will have 482 rooms, each of which will have flat-screen TVs and free Wi-Fi, the company said.

The Aruba all inclusive property will be adults-only, meaning only for those 18 years of age and over, with 24-hour all-inclusive service.

The resort will feature the Atlantis restaurant, along with three specialty restaurants: Krystal, Rimini and Malmok, along with a pool restaurant, a pool bar and a lobby bar.

The hotel will also have its own nightclub, called Pacha.
