I'm currently staying at the Radisson and have been underwhelmed thus far with our experience. The initial women who checked us in at hotel reception was rude and condescending and was not the most welcoming way to begin our stay. Rooms and grounds are okay, but overpriced for the overall quality. Partial ocean view= view of parking lot and construction, and if you strain your neck enough, you get a slight glimpse of water. The beach is lovely, but if you wait in line to secure an ocean front palapa, be prepared to have a view of the loud, obnoxious cruise ship passengers that are set up in front of you. They also use the hotel pool/facilities and aren't stopped at all by Radisson employees. From speaking with others in the island, this issue seems unique to the Radisson. Aruba is a wonderful and gorgeous destination, and we absolutely plan to return, but will stay elsewhere. All in all, there are better options on the island and I wouldn't recommend the Radisson.

Our first trip to Aruba celebrating our 10 year anniversary! Radisson is by far the best hotel in the Palm beach area. We walked from one end to the other and they had the prettiest grounds, best beach area and water and location! We only ate at Giligans and it was reasonable priced. The drinks at the bar were good and they have a waiter coming around on the beach. You have to rent your palapya at 4PM for the next day. I don't think people know that as they dont tell you at check in. But we still got one on our first day. We always got one close to the RIU by the pier. We are people watchers and that is where alot of the watersporst take place and you can hear music from the pier and the boats. Our room was spacious and clean! The beds were very comfortable!!! You can walk right across the road for several restaurants and a couple bars and shopping! When I go back to Aruba, I will stay at the Radisson! Book it, you wont be dissapointed!!!!!!

Been to Aruba before, first time in the high rise area. Radisson is ok, rooms are very noisy with screaming kids and loud televisions. Beware of "Ocean View" room rates. Our room actually overlooked the roof of the casino area and was being redone. Pretty pricey for "ocean view". Great beach area and pools. Need better food/drink prices. Almost made all inclusive rates more attractive. Great location for restaurants and shopping. Place is mostly visited by New Englanders and New Yorkers. Almost has the West Coast of Florida feel to it.

My husband and I just got back from our trip to Aruba where we stayed at the Radisson. We LOVED it. We stayed in the Bonaire tower, which was great... Pretty much in the middle of the resort. The grounds are very nice and I loved seeing the beautiful parrots they have. Ok so I want to cover everything with this hotel. Restaurants: The only restaurant we ate at at the Radisson was Gilligans. It was good. American food for fair prices. Pretty much everything is about $12. Drinks: Happy Hour is everyday from 4-6 (buy 1 get 1 free), your typical frozen drink is $8 and they are sooooo good! Pool: The 2 pools are really nice with a lot of chairs and lounges. The only negative, there is no swim up bar. Beach: the location of the Radisson in regards to the beach is PERFECT! The beach area is bigger than most of the high rise hotels with a ton of chairs. There is a little pier area with a Dunkin Donuts and a restaurant/bar, the food there wasn't that good... i would avoid eating there and just eat at Gilligans. The only negative with the beach is the way you have to reserve the little huts. You have to get in a huge line at 4pm the day before and make your reservation. My husband or I couldn't be bothered to wait in a line like that, so we just waited to see what was free the day of. Location: again, perfect!!! Right across the street from the strip with amazing restaurants and nightlife. its also close to every american fast food place and its a very close drive to the downtown area. Rooms: very clean and very comfortable. When we first checked in we had 2 double beds. I was really upset over this. Why would I want 2 beds? I called the front desk immediately, but since they were completely booked they couldn't move us to a king bed until the next day. Which in the end was fine, we quickly got over it. Like I said in the beginning, i will absolutely stay here again. Here's one more tip. If you don't want to spend $3 on a bottle of water and $8 on a beer... Bring a small foldable cooler, take a 10 minute walk to the corner store and buy your own drinks, throw them in the cooler, fill it up with ice from the hotel and you are good for the day.
