"Paradise "

"Overall a great experience. This was our second trip to the Riu in Aruba, our first trip was 10 years ago to the adults only side of the hotel. We do prefer the family friendly side as the pool is larger and there are more restaurants and amenities to choose from. We did a quicker trip this time, and were there over the weekend and only 2 weekdays. The weekend there was minimal to no construction which was great, and on the weekdays the construction wasn't too disruptive. The only issue was they were peeling off the old paint and with the Aruban winds it was all flying off into the pool area. Again, it didn't bother us much but it definitely bothered some so just beware. We had no issues finding seats by the pool or the beach - just need to get up early and head out to save some before heading to breakfast. All the workers from the front desk to the restaurants to the pool/beach staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Just as they were 10 years ago when we last visited! Hoping to be back again - and not in another decade!"

"A little"

"Everything was nearby, was upgraded to Ocean view room. Stay was Superb!"

"Our room was moist, musty, and humid. We had to ask to have the mattress changed and the bed fixed because it squeaked terribly! The staff was kind. Food was good. We met wonderful people. My biggest suggestion is make sure your room is worth what you paid for it. I felt like the room quality was that of a 2-3 star hotel "

"Staff was very friendly, very helpful beautiful beach temperature was great highly recommended."

"Great vacation! cant wait to go back"

"This is a great resort to spend time away from home. The rooms are a bit dated and while tidy, the cleanliness could improve…however, we found the staff to be friendly. Location is a 9/10. It’s so close to the beach and the grocery store! It’s not a 10/10 only because it’s not on the beach itself. BUT, small inconvenience for such a great expanse of beach. "

"The hotel is beautiful"
