Casino staff sucked. They do everything possible to make sure you don’t win. Seen it first hand along with everyone’s the roulette table. Changing balls, stopping the spin halfway through. Some how I managed to still win. Stay away if you want better

This was my 3rd trip to Aruba and 3rd time staying @Hotel Riu. I traveled solo on this trip. I was originally placed in a room on the 3rd floor. It was an older room and had issues (broken toilet and bugs in the shower that came out of the wall). I requested another room and was transferred to the 10th fl. The room was much better; however, issues still existed (water backed up in the shower and the plastic was coming off of the shower door). If I travel back to Aruba, I would stay at a different place.

Just got back from an awesome stay at the Hotel Riu Palace Aruba, and I'm giving it 5 out of 5 stars. The room was spotless. Bed was very comfortable, everything felt fresh. Perfect for crashing after a long day in the sun. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Everyone from the front desk to the bar folks had big smiles and were quick to help with whatever we needed. Made the whole vibe feel welcoming and relaxed. Food-wise, the restaurants were top notch. Plenty of variety, everything tasted great. The shops on-site were solid too—grabbed a few souvenirs without having to venture far. And the pool and beach areas were fantastic. Right on Palm Beach with that gorgeous white sand and clear water, and the swim-up bar was super convenient. The whole setup just screamed chill paradise mode. Spent most days bouncing between the beach, pool, and a cold drink. Overall, if you're heading to Aruba, this spot is a winner. Would definitely go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!

Hotel was beautiful. Check in went smoothly but not overly friendly. Staff was constantly cleaning throughout the hotel and very attentive in the restaurants. Food was good but not gourmet. Only real complaint was the construction but understand it has to be done.

This is our second time staying at Riu. One of the reasons we chose Riu was for the steakhouse. We were very disappointed that it is only available every other day. We did not see that on the Riu website. The Italian restaurant does not offer traditional Italian foods The rooms and pool were very nice. Staff weren’t as friendly this trip. Very rarely a smile except from the housekeeping staff. Most likely will not return

We booked a ocv room and had a building directly in front of us with a pov Rm 720 &719. We paid additional $1000 for those rooms. They offer a $590 resort access credit, very misleading. When we inquired to get a massage which was $180 they told us we could get $25 credit toward that. Lastly we were advised that there was going to be construction on the bar restaurant that was supposed to be finished in December but they had a whole wing of the hotel under construction with loud noise and some areas cut off during the whole stay. The kiddie camp was closed. The playground was closed. We were traveling with a four-year-old . Again it was very misleading. The staff was wonderful ,very courteous.
