This is the largest, and newest all inclusive resort on Palm Beach. I was very impressed with the quick and friendly service. Even when the hotel looked to be very full, the service at all the restaurants and bars was very quick. Loved the huge swimming pool.
What I wish I
could change:
Not sure why hotels hand out those towel cards to exchange for towels!
Why YOU should
go:
All-Inclusive is perfect for allowing you to control your budget. This property has an abundance of restaurants, and bars, and in my opinion is the best value, best quality all-inclusive hotel on the island. With a RIU, no matter where you go in the Caribbean, you always know what you are going to get.
Having opened in July 2007, this is RIUs first All-Inclusive hotel in Aruba. The property is located in the heart of Aruba's world-renowned Palm Beach. There are numerous restaurants and bars, and a huge swimming pool leads straight to the beach. All-Inclusive fun in the sun, where you will never be bored.
