    Wonderful Vacation

    We love Riu Palace Aruba and can't wait to go back. This was our 3rd time staying at the Riu Palace and we took our kids and grandkids for a family vacation and they absolutely loved it too. As always Riu Palace delivered excellent service and the food is amazing. Can't wait to go back

    A Wonderful Find!

    This was an absolutely stunning place! We had issues with the view but they made changes and we lived it! They said the rooms were not updated, but the rooms were perfect! No updates required from my standpoint. This place is great for families, couples, friends, etc.

    Riu Palace A+

    Stayed at the Riu Palace last week. Though there was construction on the property and also at the next door property, it was not very noisy at all. The people that work there always strive to make our visit comfortable. This trip was lovely and relaxing, as always.

    Great experience and customer service at Riu Palace Aruba

    We had a great experience at this resort! Staff members are very friendly and attentive. We had the same manager check on us multiple times a day to ensure we were having a good time. The rooms, resort, and beaches were very clean. The food was pretty good and the breakfast buffet was amazing. Krystal was our favorite restaurant. The only downsides were the small elevators and construction going on, but we couldn’t hear the construction in our room or on the beach which was nice.
