Stayed at the RIU Palace May 20-27. We had a wonderful time in Aruba! Beautiful island with warm and friendly locals. Excursions were worth the extra money; especially the ABC Island tour, Ranch Nortorious (horse back riding) and the Depalm Sunset Cruise. It truly is "one happy island". The Riu, Magnificently OLD architect with an amazing pool and beach! I... More

Stayed in RIU Aruba on May, 6-13. Just want to mention: that was our 3rd stay in RIU Aruba in a row (2010-12); we stayed in 7 other AI resorts during the last 10 years (Mexico, DR, Jamaica). The very beginning: RIU Palace Aruba is absolutely the best!!! (And this is my first “excellent” review of the AI resort). 1.... More

The only place to stay in Aruba, with several high class restaurants, casino, pools, gym and on the beach. The staff cant do enough for you, the atmosphere, environment and location made for a truly magical experience. Not to be missed

May 2012: First time out of the Country for an all-inclusive and we decided to go to Aruba with friends. We had a great time together; rented a jeep and explored the island, deep sea fishing, metal detecting, snorkeling, gambling, shopping and soaked in the sun at the beach. It rained a couple of days; everyone says they have never... More

My husband and I spent a week in Aruba. This was our first time visiting and it's true what they say about the winds. We got to the Riu around 3PM and we checked in right away. They gave us a nice room on the third floor of the side building facing the pool. It had a separate sitting area,... More
