Internet Access at the Riu

I haven't brought it up to my fiancee yet, but I would like to bring my laptop on my honeymoon. I want to keep in touch with family without many phone calls, and send instant "postcards" to our friends and family. Plus, I would like to empty my digital cameras every night to prevent picture losses (See Jolly Pirate Capsizes).

Is there any wireless or wired internet access available in the Riu? The Riu does not have much of a website for the Aruba property, so research is a bit difficult. Any information that previous visitors can provide would be most helpful.

To summarize for those that don't want to click on the links and read deep into the details

Internet can be prepaid at the following rates:

$5/hour (Too Expensive!)
$10/day ($110 savings over hourly)
$35/week ($35 savings over daily)
$70/month ($70 savings over weekly)

The RIU has free internet in the lobby, but if you want access in your room, you need the pass from wifi-aruba.com.

Sorry I did not take the time to post the details for you, but only pointed you in the direction.

Lisa, I wasn't complaining...

I was only simplifying things for others, if they did not want to read the story (which I did want to read) on the nice lady's account at the Riu.
