Sep 24, 2025Best Holiday
Fantastic holiday 😀. The RIU PALACE was amazing, room lovely, spacious and clean. House keeping first class. Food amazing from the main dinning room, good variety of food (and I'm a fussy eater). Always found something eat. The restaurants was easy to book, we never had an issue booking, despite reviews. Entertainment team were amazing, friendly and always spoke even if you didn't join in. Looking forward to going back again next year Xx

What a beautiful holiday
Our last night after a wonderful 11 night stay. We upgraded to the Elite Club and so glad we did. The view over the ocean was wonderful. The food was amazing and the room kept spotlessly clean. All the staff are so polite and nothing was too much trouble. A special mention to Sheldon and Hugh.... absolutely 5 star care and attention. Also Vincent was very welcoming at the Elite Club restaurant. An absolute pleasure to have spent our holiday in the presence of such fabulous people The only slight criticism we have was the noise at night, but fortunately this finished just after 11pm. Thank you Riu Palace, we hope to visit again one day .

Sep 15, 2025Unless you came to party hard … don’t care about the food or your room … move on
The place was crowded with young singles , scantily clothed and the smell of weed everywhere 24 hours a day. Food was mediocre. I’ve stayed at a Riu Palace in Aruba, this isn’t anything like it. Staff was generally rude. Room smelled and was plain as a hospital room…. Yet I was told it was the best in the place when I asked to move .. what a laugh. Beach was full of seaweed and pool was full of wig hair. No thanks.
