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
