“A Comprehensive Review - Riu Palace Aruba”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

We landed at the airport around 2 pm (earlier than expected due to the favorable wind direction on the flight). The taxi ride cost $22 (we had originally signed up for a bus to take us to the Riu for about $100, what a mistake that would have been!). Upon arrival, the check-in clerk mentioned that our room was not... More

“One Happy Island!”

Reviewed 16 May 2013 NEW

I travelled to Riu Aruba with my husband and 11 year old son. It was our first time in Aruba and we had a fabulous time! We always stay at Riu resorts and we find them all to be five star, no complaints at all. Clean hotel, delicious food, great service. The beach is beautiful, the sand is soft and... More

“We had the best time”

Reviewed 14 May 2013 NEW

My husband and I were looking for a special place to travel for our 25th anniversary. I am so happy we chose the RIU palace in Aruba. We are not seasoned travelers, but we knew what we wanted. A beautiful resort, with a great beach, where we could just RELAX. We got exactly what we wanted and so much more.... More

“Great Week at the Riu in Timeshare”

Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

We just returned from the Riu having rented a timeshare unit. Having read good and bad reviews we took the chance. The bottom line is timeshare units are great deals at the Riu. You have to rent through an owner and there are only 35 units. The units are a little older and a little dated. They are clean and... More

“Riu all-inclusive is a great change from a cruise”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

Our family of 4 adults just arrived back from a fabulous week in Aruba at the Riu resort. We loved the hotel and the food. This was our first stay at an all-inclusive resort but we've been on over 17 cruises so it was our only point of reference as an all-inclusive vacation. I'll try to cover a few things... More

“Could Have Been a FATAL ACCIDENT!!”

My wife and another couple stayed at the Riu Palace from 2/10/13 to 2/17/13. First let me say that until the accident, we were having a wonderful time. The Buffet food was delicious. We couldn't wait to see what the main entree was for the evening. The room does need updating. There was mold in the shower because the ceiling... More

“Aruba Wedding with Stolen Wedding Band”

Reviewed 10 May 2013

Went to Aruba to get married a few weeks ago and thought the first room was nice and the staff was exceptionally nice and the food was good. Things changed when we decided to switch rooms to a jaccuzzi suite. The entire area is smoking in Bldg B(despite their insistance that there is no smoking in the building) and there... More

“Recent visit”

Reviewed 8 May 2013

Recent 1 week stay was above average. Our first time to the island. Room was nice but please ask for a pillow-top pad upon check-in; it helped a lot. Pool was awesome! Food & drinks were above average. If you want a quality drink made you must visit the bar near the lobby; very well made. Also, if you decide... More

“Riu Palace is not all that.”

This was our third time in 2 years coming to Aruba and the first time staying at the Riu. We came with another couple for 7 days and after reading some reviews we thought we had settled with the perfect spot to spend our vacation...boy were we wrong! The food was sub-par the rooms were a bit dated and felt... More

“Would definitely return!”

Reviewed 7 May 2013

First off, I must say that my wife and I were very disappointed in the LIARS that write bad posts about the RIU. Either they have nothing else better to do or were extremely spoiled growing up and fed with a silver spoon. We stayed at the RIU Palace Aruba from April 17-28th and had such a wonderful time. The...
