Hotel Riu Palace Aruba - All Inclusive

Hotel Riu Palace Aruba - All Inclusive

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed a generally pleasant stay at Riu Palace. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well maintained, and the food offered both good quality and a satisfying variety. The beach itself is attractive and easy to access, though it is relatively small for a property of this size. That limited beach area creates a noticeable shortage of palapas, which means guests need to wake up around 6 a.m. to secure one - a significant inconvenience. The consistently windy conditions also reduce the availability of water‑sport activities. In addition, the elevators in the hotel buildings are slow enough to become frustrating, and the nightly entertainment felt more like an underwhelming school performance than a professional show."
