If anyone looking for a stay this resort is great absolutely have nothing bad to say close to the airport shopping area and restaurants right on the beach staff friendly and helpful you also have a lot of food options inside the resort for a great experience book the elite club rooms
We had a great stay in Aruba! The property was nice, clean, and fun, with a great atmosphere. Overall, we really enjoyed our time here and would definitely consider staying again.
One of the best vacations we've ever had. Hotel was great, room was clean, pool and beach were great, food in the buffet was fresh and delicious (don't recommend the restaurants too much), and pool bar drink cups are small so you'll be going back for refills more frequently not a deal breaker for us.
Our honeymoon at the RIU was absolutely amazing and even better than expected! The staff was absolutely wonderful and helpful in every possible way! Everyone was so friendly and we will definitely be back!! We recommend the RIU for anyone looking for an all inclusive trip to Aruba!
The lobby was beautiful and the front desk staff were kind and very helpful. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The pools, bars, beaches and buffet were all amazing. Highly recommended.
Great all-inclusive hotel! Everything was clean and well maintained, and they had everything we needed right there. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made our stay enjoyable. We would definitely recommend it!
My husband and I booked the swim up elite package. We had an amazing time. All the staff there were amazing. We absolutely loved our waitresses to the entertainment crew.
Entire resort is very clean. We enjoyed the 5 restaurants, my fav was the Asian. The buffet was great for breakfast and lunch. Our room was poolside and a good size. Maid service was amazing daily. Entertainment by the pool daily was fun. Staff is so friendly and very attentive. ♥️
Absolutely amazing. Grounds were greatly kept. Rooms were big and spacious and the food was top tier. Best food I’ve had at an all inclusive as of yet. Let’s not forget, the most stunning sunset! Will definitely go back!!!
My wife and I had a great stay at the Riu Palace Aruba. The property was pristine they had lots of staff insuring the property and rooms were kept clean. The food was really good and plentiful, and the service was good as well. I would.highly recommend upgrading to the elite club to us it was definitely worth the extra cost.
This place was great! Recently renovated from what we understand. It's walking distance to town and shopping and restaurants. Our room was fantastic. They really focus on keeping things clean. Variety of food!! We absolutely loved the daily exercise by the pool, Luis and the whole team was fantastic. We laughed and got exercise too, it was one of our favorite parts of the day!. We loved the snorkeling too!
Everything about the Riu Palace was amazing. The parties, events and entertainment were GREAT. Definitely will be back to Aruba and will be staying at the Riu Palace again. AMAZING RESORT!!
