I prefer the Occidental Grand Aruba. It is more of a hoppin place to be. The beds are fantastic. Real king beds, and are pillow topped. The Riu beds are very hard and uncomfortable. The Occidental is much more laid back and relaxed, and the beach is much better the the Riu.

The Riu has a very French Polynesian style, and has very dark decor in the rooms. The Occidental is bright, and makes you feel like you are in an exotic place as it should.

Hopes this helps.
