The RIU Hotel in Aruba is a very nice hotel and a great place to stay. The beach is beautiful, clean, and well maintained, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy the ocean. The hotel itself is very clean and well cared for, which made our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The food selection is big and offers a lot of variety, so there was always something for everyone to enjoy. Everything was fresh and well prepared. The staff were extremely friendly, welcoming, and helpful, always making sure guests felt taken care of. Overall, RIU Aruba is a fantastic hotel with great service, a lovely beach, and excellent food. I would definitely recommend it and would happily stay here again.

Everything was amazing, from the room, beach and food, The only thing we didn’t like is that the pool wasn’t heated, it was chilly and windy so a heated pool would have made a big difference. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. If we go back to Aruba this will be our pick again.

This resort is definitely not like what it looks online. Some parts yes but other parts no. My room for example, what I booked vs what I walked into. Two completely different looks! Wasn’t at all what I expected. Family resort and no games or fun? Where’s the entertainment team? Room was cleaned and left with no towels? Called and requested, put in on the app & even went down to the front desk. Had to wait an hour for a shower and was stuck with eating at the buffet!!! If you’re not in line by 5:20/5:30 you’re not eating at a specialty restaurant forget about it. We got there at 6 first night and the lady said “we’re closed”. All I could do was laugh. Suppose to be vacation and I have to fight for a place in line for dinner? Not relaxing at all. The towel lady is always so miserable. She handed me a towel with blood spots on it and got an attitude when I asked for a new one. Why not just throw it away? Drinks are ehh.. just get something on the rocks. Not the best bartenders for mixing drinks, everything I had was just not it. Nothing was balanced. Overall, Aruba was nice. Weather was good, beach was clean, ocean was clear as day. But I don’t recommend staying here. I’m also a RIU elite member. I’ve stayed at tons of other locations and this is by far the worse one. They definitely need some help. Very disappointing honestly especially when you pay $$$$ for an all inclusive.

Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort

I recently stayed at the Riu Palace Aruba and overall, I would consider my experience average. The rooms were very spacious, which I loved, but the furniture felt a bit outdated. The hotel itself was extremely clean, and the location is one of its biggest strengths, it’s right next to most of the popular party spots and the busy beach area. You can easily walk, rent an e-scooter right out front, or take a taxi for about $15 USD. If you’re able to walk, I definitely recommend it to explore the area. As far as food, I can only speak on breakfast and the American Country Sports Bar since I did excursions during lunch and dinner and also had a birthday dinner off-site. The food I did try was just okay. The sports bar has very limited seating and they don’t allow take-out, so you may end up waiting for a spot. Room service was another downside. The menu was very limited with not much variety compared to other all-inclusive resorts I’ve stayed at. I also wasn’t greeted with a welcome drink or offered help with my bags, although I noticed the group behind me received that service, which felt inconsistent. Overall, despite a few inconveniences, the stay wasn’t bad. The location and cleanliness were the highlights, but the food variety, room service, and small service inconsistencies kept it from being great.
