My husband and I have just returned from our 2nd trip to the Riu Palace Aruba and we agee with all of the comments in the previous review from Northumberland.

We returned from Aruba yesterday and really enjoyed ourselves. Check in was fast and hassle free and they gave you a nice refreshing cocktail as we waited.
