You might have to pinch yourself (but not too hard) when you see how off-the-charts fabulous this place is. The pampering begins the moment you arrive (thank you for the welcome drink!), and then it happens: your life of luxury starts to unfold before you. It's The Ritz, after all. The miles of white sugary sands and the smooth ocean waters out your back door are just the tip of paradise.

Long Walk to everything
The Ritz Carlton speaks for itself. The hotel is beautiful but if you have a room on the other side of the only one elevator you have at least a 6 to seven minute walk from the elevator through winding hallways and when carrying beach items, it becomes very tiresome. We spoke to other guests who felt the same way. The staff was absolutely amazing and very helpful at all times and tried to make your stay as pleasant as possible. It's definitely a place to read or write a book, no activities poolside or beachside, very sedate and quiet. We took our adult children with us and they really didn't enjoy themselves. We stayed at the Marriot last year and it was much more fun! The hotel is located at the very end of the island which makes walking to anything almost a day trip. We definitely wouldn't book this hotel again but if you want complete isolation and quiet, this is the place for you. Our family likes to have fun on vacation, not solitude.
Very nice and well maintained resort with extremely happy and attentive Staff. Food & drinks are expensive of but of excellent quality. Pool and beach can use more shade!

Ritz
Although not a typical Ritz, more along the lines of a Marriott, it was very nice. They tried to get us to upgrade for an additional $2500 (a bit much since we had no intention of being on premises 24/7). Aruba is safe and everyone was more than accommodating. The staff was very friendly and we felt as though they went above and beyond their duties. There were conventions and the pool area got a bit rowdy, but everyone seemed to be cordial and friendly.
Overall we loved our stay at the Ritz. The trip Cheap Caribbean planned for us was a good value for this property. We especially loved the service, the beach and the rooms. The dining options are fairly limited, with just BLT Steak and a so-so Italian place as the main restaurants. The outdoor Madero was terrific for lunch by the pools. And to watch the sunset from the outdoor patio at the hotel bar is a must (although we did get a bit eaten by mosquitos). On the beach, servers come by on segues to take the orders- which is really fun. We came for the beach, and it didn't disappoint. VERY calm warm water. The hotel has free non motorized equipment and we paddle boarded every day. A great needed vacation!

A room with a view of the coast. If you have any further questions, you may contact the resort directly or call and speak to one of our Beachologists at 1-800-915-2322.

The room faces the beach rather than a sideview. We had a sideview, which we had view of the beach, water, kite surfers. Since we didn't stay oceanview I cannot be sure, but I liked the quietness of our room. Our room faced the northern side of the hotel which provided beautiful sunsets. They asked if we wanted to upgrade to Club, which would have included Oceanview, but for the extra $$$$, we decided against it and use the money for dinners offsite, excursions, and drinks.

Looking down the coast with no view of resort property

It's definitely not a direct view of a beach, only a side view. Not the best view to have, sometimes it also involves looking at a parking lot.

Room Information
320 finely appointed rooms with private balconies, 46" flat-screen TVs, spacious bathrooms with full-sized baths and separate showers, in-room Internet access, customized Honor Bar on request, Ritz-Carlton signature featherbeds with fine linens, Asprey amenities, robes, turndown service, in-room safe and coffee/tea maker.
Brand spankin' new with extravagances in every aspect of the resort - a seriously swanky vacay.
Beach loungers with chic blue and white striped umbrellas where the wait service is sheer bliss and the white sugar sands of Palm Beach stretch for miles.
Signature Ritz-Carlton featherbeds in the rooms (you're going to sleep like a baby) and oversized bathtubs to really slip into relaxation.
Glamorous spa indulgences like the Signature Massage where fresh coconuts from the island are used. Delicious.
Exploring Aruba's rich history, culture and especially digging into all the yummy cuisines on the island - this is a food lover's island, for sure!
What We'd Change
Sometimes the resort is busy hosting corporate events and seminars, which will add a few more folks and lots of activity at night, but the level of service, the food quality and prime location more than make up for it.
Why You Should Go
This "One Happy Island" is easy to navigate - 19.6 miles long and 6 miles wide so getting out and exploring is a must do.
The water is safe to drink (they have their own filtration system so no hugging the porcelain goddess) and the US dollar is generally accepted everywhere (& they drive on the right side of the road - it's like home, but with 82 degrees and ocean views all day long).
Live La Vida Lucka at the 24-hour casino - 305 slot machines, 17 table games and 2 sports betting kiosks (maybe you'll win big and pay for your trip!)
24-hour in-room dining is always available and sometimes all you want to do is cozy up in your room, put on your PJs and take in the ocean views off your balcony.
Sweat it out at the fitness center where all the equipment is new and sparkly and you can join a yoga or Zumba class or try out tai chi on the beach.

BARS/NIGHTLIFE
If you see a Screaming Pelican, just know it's not a real, live pelican attacking a sunbather, but rather one of the cocktail concoctions you'll find at the Divi Bar (rum, vodka, banana liquor, more rum - you get the idea). It's true - the bar tenders at The Ritz are ready to mix and mingle the drinks with any twist you want.
