May 10, 2025Great place to stay!
Excellent service all around and great location right on the beach! The bedrooms were very clean, not the most fancy, but we didn’t spend much time there anyway!

May 10, 2025Disappointing Stay
My wife and I just returned from a very disappointing week stay. We opted for the Elite Club which sounded really good on paper but didn't live up to expectations but the most disappointing aspect of our stay was the construction happening next store at the Riu Palace. Between being woken up at 6:30 in the morning with loud banging or the constant jack hammering that never let up all seven days we were there, it really made it impossible to relax and enjoy a peaceful week in Aruba. The work being done made the use of the Elite pool a very unpleasant experience and not relaxing at all. No one from management ever expressed any type of apologies for this and this construction was never mentioned when this stay was booked. No one ever even asked how we enjoyed our stay when checking out. It felt like no one from management was even there. Unrelated to the construction noise, the beach chair game is just an awful experience and not for me. All that said, most of the staff were pleasant and some were really great which really salvaged this trip from being a total disaster. Unfortunately, I feel like the Elite Club is just a money grab with no real advantage while this construction is happening. I wouldn't recommend this place for their total lack of transparency and honesty.

May 10, 2025All good except for the elevators!
We enjoyed our vacation at this resort except for the inoperable elevators. The cups they serve drinks in are extremely small, bring your own drinking cup!! Other than that, it was great and the staff was great. You can bring your own float for the pool, if you like extra pool towels, you only get one p.p. The food is good and available 24 hours a day.

Great time!
Bed was a little harder than we like, there was an issue one morning with the elevators, other than that, staff was great and accommodating. Food was great and service at the bars was awesome. Will be coming back for sure!! Highly recommend the Riu for vacation!
