We stayed at the Riu Palace from April 19th to the 26th for our honeymoon. We absolutely loved it! The food was great, the people were nice, the rooms beautiful! We stayed in the new building (not the main building you register in) and it was great! Our bed was the size of 2 king beds! It is on the... more

Had a great honeymoon at the Riu Aruba. Beaches were fabulous, the wind really helped keep you cool. The best thing about Aruba was that every day was the same, beautiful and sunny with a breeze. Food at the resort was better than expected. Both my husband and I preferred the buffet to the a la carte's, which is unusual... more

My husband and I just returned from a four night stay at the Riu Palace and it was okay. It was not the best vacation we've had, but it also wasn't the worst. I must point out though that this was our first time in Aruba and we didn't know much about it except that it was outside the hurricane... more

We have just returned from the Riu Palace in Aruba having gone there to celebrate our wedding anniversary. We cannot praise this island and the Riu Hotel highly enough. The hotel is spotless and the beaches are out of this world. There is a great selection of food in the buffet restaurant in addition to 4 a la carte restaurants.... more

My stay at the Riu was a great one. My husband and I went there from June 23 - June 30 on our honeymoon. I did not give this hotel 5 stars because there were definitely a few things that this hotel can work on improving. When we arrived we noticed how friendly and concerned all of the staff was.... more

Have just returned from a 2 week stay ay the Riu Palace in Aruba. Can I say we had a fabulous holiday.

The Hotel is located about 20 minutes from the airport and is built in the traditional style... more

I just came back from a week at Riu and I am not sure what all the fuss is about. We had a Junior Suite and it was okay but nothing to write home about. I would not take a bath in the tub as it was pretty mildewed. Also for a 1st class hotel you would expect robes but... more
