    Enjoyed our time at the RIU Palace Aruba

    Second time at the RIU Hotel and enjoyed every minute. Great food and drinks, cocktails were served at the pool bar. Just one step away from the beach.

    Great stay

    Beautiful room with great view. Staff very friendly. Property clean and well maintained; beach was very nice. Large buffet and restaurants with good food. Only downside was that beach staff expected tips to make sure towels and loungers were not taken by other guests.

    Wonderful week

    My Husband & I went to the Riu Palace for a much needed getaway. There are many more pros then cons. I'll start off by saying the food was excellent in all the restaurants. Tons to choose from at buffet. Sure there may be an item or to that is not to your liking but that is your taste and there is so much and so many tables to choose from. I do wish they offered a few more items towards low sugar or sugar free in addition such as the maple syrup and other easy options. The grounds were beautiful. Well kept and clean. So were the pools. It is true people do reserve chairs even though it says your not allowed but after a little searching we never had an issue. We always got chairs or a hut on beach. Bartenders are very friendly! They will fill mugs you bring as other reviews said they wont. Never had an issue, tons of people did it. It was nice that they also had pool games ad trivia. The entertainment at night was mostly ok,the pirate show needed a little work. We did have an issue with a housekeeper who did not clean. Left dirty laundy from previous guests in draws, never did floor(crumbs and sand all over it from when we 1st arrived to room), missed alot in room. She was very unfriendly too but she was the only one we had issues with. Everyone was very pleasant! And I must say, the hotel made right with the issue we had right away and we could not be happier. That is true customer service and we appreciated it. The Hotel manager was very nice and helpful. We would recomend it 100% and we would go back without a doubt. The only thing i did not like was the sheets in our room did get damp and it was uncomfortable but you can ask for a dehumidifier. Not all rooms were like this as we had talked to other guests some had it a little some had none but it would not stop us from going back. We never saw 1 bug. Some reviews entioned them but there was nothing. Very clean hotel & grounds. And yes the hotel next door is being redone but the noise was never an issue. Did not hear it in rooms so dont let that scare you away. We loved our trip! Please don't be scared away about some of the reviews i also read before the trip. The hotel was really great and if I could i'd hop on a plane now back there.

    10 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY/TURNING 50 TRIP

    We had the best time. It was our 10 year wedding anniversary and my husband and I both turned 50. Pool was amazing, people super nice and friendly. The view from our room was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back.

    RIU Palace is very good but can be much better.

    The hotel staff are excellent and very helpful. Overall the trip was very enjoyable and relaxing. However here again we see many examples of why Americans have a reputation for being rude and disrespectful. Particularly when gathering for specialty restaurant dining. RIU needs to figure out a new method for this operation. Our biggest complaint would be the dining hours. 6 pm opening for speciality dinning and 6:30 pm for buffet is, in my opinion, too late to start service. This is especially true for a family resort where there are numerous children. And I believe children under 6 should not be allowed in the specialty restaurants. They are loud, obnoxious, and ruin the dinning experience for the adults without children. These are small restaurants, seating about 50 patrons. We won't come back due to this issue. Had the adult only resort not been over sold we would have stayed there again. The service in the specialty restaurants can be extremely slow, 90 minutes just to receive appetizers or great as in entire meal completed in 45 minutes. The food is excellent at all of the restaurants. We dined equally at both resorts. The service in all of the restaurants was very commendable. Although tipping is not necessary I felt it was well deserved. Our room was moved at our request. It was too loud being on the 3rd floor of the south tower. After the move to a much higher floor it was very pleasant. RIU can become a top notch destination in Aruba if they will take an objective look at the above mentioned issues. I would highly recommend this resort for families, not necessarily for couples. The pool area is actually better than the adults only resort next door. This resort is in a good location for walking around the area as well.
