Riu Palace Aruba: riu palace

Food selection and quality was excellent. Staff very helpful and accommodating. The resort needs some renovations as it seemed a bit worn down. Also they need to manage the reservations of umbrellas by pool and beach better. Too many unused lounges wth reserved towels. Entertainment by pool was good but could use a bit of quiet time in afternoon

Riu Palace Antillas: Aruba is a Dream!

Hotel Riu Palace Antillas is a great hotel. Pro's: amazing beach, good food(although repetitive), friendly people, fun casino, clean. Con's: facecloths & toiletries are not replenished unless you call the front desk, you have to line up for a beeper to dine at the restaurants (I would prefer to make reservations), entertainment is lacking. Biggest con of all: the bed is very hard... did not sleep well the entire trip as I prefer a softer bed. We had so much fun playing cornhole with Mona by the  [... read more]pool! The gentleman who played Saxophone by the pool was phenomenal! Enjoyed a little dance party with live music in the outdoor foyer one night. Rooms are a little small, but you don't spend time in there anyways. Overall would go back!

Riu Palace Aruba: Amazing resort!

Where do I begin? Such a beautiful resort with amazing friendly staff. I have never met more accommodating people. Our Sunwing rep took care of us when we needed him the most. We met one particular bartender, Nelson, who will be a friend for life. The resort is very clean and looks just like you see on YouTube. We will definitely be going back!

Riu Palace Antillas: Good Hotel

The rooms at the hotel have been updated and are very generous in size. The hotel is well maintained and offers a great selection of food choices and the coffee bar was an excellent stop for coffee, pastries and other various item including some delicious sandwiches. There was always some type of entertainment from the disco to the pool to the stage shows

Riu Palace Antillas: amazing resort

it is a good hotel ,location is nice ,food tasty .rooms big enough, beach is clean, water is clear, some entertainment and people are the best .we would highly recommend this place, and we would like to go back again.

Riu Palace Antillas: RIU Antilles - amazing!

This is my 6th time to Aruba, second time to the RIU. The others were timeshares. As a solo traveller, it was easy to meet other travellers, everyone is so happy to be on "one happy island". Resort is close enough to walk to Palm Beach village or grab the bus to head downtown Orangestad for the day. Short walk to grab the "boardwalk" that runs all the way to past the divi's. The rooms are bright, clean and good for what you need them for. Water/beer/pop in the mini-bar fridge replenishe [... read more]d when necessary. Cleaning staff are always on hand and do a great job! Food excellent - prime rib, hamburgers, sushi, ceviche, chicken, fresh vegetables, pasta, cheese, bread, desserts, and so much more, plentiful. Ate at the steak house one night, IMO buffet is just as good! Lobby bar & 24 sports bar - delicious cocktails and treats! Pool bar - Elsa, Camillo and rest the staff work tirelessly and always with a smile. Great service and quality! And they have Caesars for us Canadians. Beach - best in the Caribbean! The guys who bring you your chairs are always so accommodating. My one beef is people get up at 445am to save palapas, I gave up trying, ugh! Grounds - well manicured and someone always cleaning. Sunwing rep - we had a hiccup with our delayed flight and had to seek out our rep to find out what was going on. Would have been nice to let us stay longer in our room but I kind of get they have other people to put in those rooms. Misc. - room service is great, small/simple menu, foam party was a blast, security is everywhere - always felt safe, didnt go to the disco or any of the shows. I would say, do yourself a favour and just book it, but then the prices will go up and it will cost me more. So ... book somewhere else ... LOL

Riu Palace Antillas: Loved it

Great resort, very friendly staff and helpful Best buffets ever so much variety to choose from Close enough to walk to small town on road or down beach Lots of beach chairs and paplas although they do fill up fast in the morning

Riu Palace Aruba: Great experience. Will come back.

We stayed at the Rio Palace Aruba first week in dec. The room and resort overall were very clean. Housekeeping was on the ball. We dined at the buffet restaurant the entire stay. Food was well prepared and more variety than we could sample in the one week stay. We found the staff courteous and helpful the entire time. The beach was clean and always groomed. No sargasum. If you like to use palapas, you will need to reserve one early. They go fast. We did a couple of trips off resort. Wish we ha [... read more]d more time to do more. Will have to go back to complete the Aruba experience. It truly is One Happy Island.

Riu Palace Aruba: Excellent resort. Clean and friendly

We had an excellent time. We will go again, but will stay 2 weeks next time. Very safe island. We had to complete a health app regarding covid 19. Very little masks were worn.Weather was beautiful the whole time.

Riu Palace Antillas: Awesome Aruba

Hotel was mid sized, Rooms were recently refurbished and perfect. We were in room 1004 and view of sunset was slightly obscured by construction next door. Staff amazing and received prompt service from front desk.

Riu Palace Antillas: Amazing!!!

Our stay at this hotel was amazing! It lived up to all the great reviews! Food beach staff and rooms did not disappoint!!! Worth the money. Any bad reviews should be ignored!! Great pool vibes and Casino!

Eagle Aruba Resort and Casino: Amazing resort

The resort is well kept .the rooms were clean nice that there’s bbq on site. Very accommodating and the staff were amazing . Will definitely come back. 5 min walk to eagle beach and to superfood grocery store.

Riu Palace Antillas: Amazing resort

Everything was great at this resort. Food was amazing. Service was great. I would definitely recommend this resort and I will come back. The weather was great and I felt very safe at this island. Casino slots did not give much.

Tamarijn Beach Resort: Great Resort

We just returned from the Tamarjin Beach Resort. The rooms are nice and comfortable. We originally paid for a Premium 2 Queen Bed Room and by comments made on the facebook page it seemed as though the location we were in was not the correct room. Went to reception and addressed the issue. They immediately fixed the problem and moved us to the correct block location. The customer service was excellent. The restaurants and food quality was very good. We only had one complaint with the Ginge [... read more]r restaurant. The service was extremely slow and it seemed as though we did not exist. When the fool came my husbands was totally cold. The food was still good and maybe it was just a bad night for them. The staff and bartenders were amazing. Very friendly and attentive. The beach was a little disappointing. Some areas had a lot of big rock that you could not access the ocean. The areas that you could access the ocean you needed water shoes. There were a lot of smaller rocks and broken shells. It was hard on the feet to get into the ocean. Once you past the first two feet the water was beautiful. Crystal clear and warm. The pool was on the small side for the size of the resort. We were up and about by 9:00 a.m. and could never get a chair by the pool. We walked over to the Divi and the beach was much nicer on that side. We would definitely go back to this resort. We really could not complain about the food or staff.

Riu Palace Aruba: WOW!

We love this hotel. We were here 13 years ago and came back again. It's better then we remembered. Clean, beautiful, amazing beach and pool. The staff is so nice and helpful. Our room was in the main building on the 8th floor. It was spotless every day and we had a fantastic view. We loved the buffet and there was always something new to try. Can't wait to come back!

Riu Palace Aruba: Amazing Resort

This hotel is amazing, very family friendly , clean and well kept. I would 100% recommend this hotel! The hotel staff was very friendly and welcoming! Food and restaurants are all amazing and very clean!

Riu Palace Antillas: Incredible!

Fantastic staff, SUPER clean, great food and beautiful beach! 10+ For Us! Five minute walk to downtown Noord. Could not be more pleased with our vacation experience at the Riu Palace Antillias! We Would Return! A special thank you to Trip Central for their detailed care along the way in ensuring our trip was outstanding!

Riu Palace Aruba: Very Special Resort

We are very impressed with the outstanding layout of the Rui Palace,the buildings the grounds,trees,,plants,big revolving doors the Greeting Staff was simply a marvellous start to a great vacation. Throughout our stay the restaurant staff, night entertainment, tours was indeed better than expected. Our vacation was indeed a time on earth spent as if was in Heaven. I give five thumbs up to the Pool , towels , and Beach services.

Eagle Aruba Resort and Casino: Nice

Nice place. The room was very nice but the housekeeping was minimal, only made the beds twice in two weeks, emptied garbage and left lots of towels only. The air conditioning unit was very noisy although we didn’t complain.

Riu Palace Antillas: Beautiful Resort

Beautiful resort and beach. This is the second time we’ve been to this resort and we would go back. Service and the staff were excellent. Rooms recently renovated and food is incredible. Nobody wore masks and no hand sanitizer available anywhere on resort but we didn’t feel uncomfortable. A new resort is being built next door so there is construction noise while you are on the beach but it’s not all day long and wasn’t too annoying.
