    Terrible - do not travel here with a group

    Do not book this hotel, especially if you are traveling with a group. You cannot make dinner reservations and in order to get a table you need to wait in line at 5pm and then you won't be seated until 8pm...who wants to do this on vacation? It's so stressful and really disappointing. Most nights we couldn't get a table so we had to eat off property which defeats the purpose of an all inclusive. The food for breakfast and lunch is just a buffet, there are no other options. The elevators didn't work, so there were always lines. They make you pay to get a decent chair on the beach. The property is extremely dated & the A/C at the gym doesn't work. It was terrible - I would avoid this hotel at all costs.

    See Aruba

    Hotel is perfect location! Right on Palm Beach! Don’t worry about loungers, they have lots. Rooms are spacious with a wonderful walk in shower. Service was good, the managers at this resort were amazing. You could always find them walking around and checking up on customers. Was very nice to see. Food was very good, being buffet or themed restaurants were. They do seem to have a problem with labeling food. Watch out if you have allergies!!! Also didn’t have a problem getting into the themed restaurants. They serve local beer which was nice to see. For having a cocktail it was much better to ask for bottle on shelf, not what’s under bar. The lobby bar was very loud and usually packed. Could use another bar with better sound. The shows at night were good, white and neon party little over the top. But I guess that’s what Riu thinks they need to do. Not a fan! Was great to see a paved walking path along long the beach. Shops and restaurants were just a short walk away. The local bus is just right outside of hotel. Was great to take to town (Oranjestad) once in town you can ride a trolley car for free. Was a great way to see some of Oranjestad. We rented a private tour of whole island, was just amazing! Wonderful trip!

    Great service from Rebeling, Estela, John, and Elsa

    Super clean resort with fantastic beach and great location. Estela kept our room spotless and was so helpful with extra blankets and checking on us. Check in was one of the best experiences we have had. Rebeling was so kind and helpful. She helped us check in a little earlier than anticipated and helped us call a cab to go home. John took care of us for breakfast and lunch. He always had a Coke waiting for us. Elsa out at the pool bar also knew our virgin drink order and had it ready whenever we came up to order! Great place and would highly recommend.
