Stayed at the Riu the week of May 20th. Room was nice and spacious, 2 double beds, separate sitting room. Only complaint with the room is the Air Conditioning was soooo strong. The food at the San Nicolas buffet was fabulous. Only tried the Italian a la carte restaurant and it was okay, nothing spectacular so we just ate at... More

Rooms had a very musty smell to them. Beds were really hard. Served pretty much the same buffet all 5 days we were there. Food was below average. They needed more music when hanging at the pool all day. The resort employees were great but I'm sorry to say I will never go back.

Stayed at the RIU Palace May 20-27. We had a wonderful time in Aruba! Beautiful island with warm and friendly locals. Excursions were worth the extra money; especially the ABC Island tour, Ranch Nortorious (horse back riding) and the Depalm Sunset Cruise. It truly is "one happy island". The Riu, Magnificently OLD architect with an amazing pool and beach! I... More

Stayed in RIU Aruba on May, 6-13. Just want to mention: that was our 3rd stay in RIU Aruba in a row (2010-12); we stayed in 7 other AI resorts during the last 10 years (Mexico, DR, Jamaica). The very beginning: RIU Palace Aruba is absolutely the best!!! (And this is my first “excellent” review of the AI resort). 1.... More

The only place to stay in Aruba, with several high class restaurants, casino, pools, gym and on the beach. The staff cant do enough for you, the atmosphere, environment and location made for a truly magical experience. Not to be missed
