    Entertainment

    The entertainment, Melbin, Brandon, Axel and Tyrese were awesome!!! 👏🏻 The bartenders Jonathan and Nelson were amazing! The pools were awesome and the beach area was beautiful. We were grateful for Ish’s guidance during our stay. She was so welcoming and supportive.

    First time here. Will return!

    First time in Aruba. Great trip! The rooms were beautiful. The food and drinks plentiful and good. Staff were friendly and actually smiling! Would have preferred a room facing the sea but the room we had was lovely.

    Love Love this Resort

    We absolutely needed this trip! Our daughter is getting married next June and the venue is in our backyard. Stress!! Stress!! So before the festivities start happening, me and my husband took some time for ourselves. We were very impressed with everything. Definitely will be back in the future!

    Fantastic trip

    Loved the hotel, amenities, various restaurants. The only negative experience we had was the extremely invasive noise from the sister hotel next door from the outdoor stage. It was enough of an intrusion at night, that I would request a room on the other side of the hotel in the future. Other than this negative experience, our trip was fantastic. Staff, service were also excellent!

    Needs a little sprucing up but still a great hotel with good service.

    This was my 2nd trip since 2023 and this time I noticed wear and tear in some areas of the hotel. Mainly the hallways. The carpet was worn and dingy. My room had been surfaced cleaned but not deep cleaned. The bathroom had hair on the floor and loooked like it hadn’t been mopped. I called the next day and housekeeping got right on it. Had to request towels and washcloths as they forgot to leave clean ones. It was mainly small things but for the cost I expected more attention to detail. Love Riu for the vibe and energy but the next time I’m on the island I will check out some of the newer properties
