The Riu Palace is the best place to stay on Aruba. It is all-inclusive, has 2 pools, a spa, a gym, a swim up bar, a casino, great restaurants, updated rooms, European architecture, and a hot tub. It is a 5-star resort and is huge! The staff is so friendly, and like to become your friend and joke around with you. This is my favorite resort I have ever been to, and I have been to many resorts in Mexico and around the Caribbean. I highly recommend this resort, so when planning your next trip to Aruba please consider the RIU Palace.

Each hotel has its own charm, but I'm with you LOVE the RIU, the food is excellent for a buffet, specialty restauraunt good as well. found the staff very nice.

we have never stayed there as the RIU.
stayed there when it was the GRAND in timeshare trade.

that being said the "pool" at the RIU takes my breath away.

I, too, loved the RIU but the beds were not comfy at all. Had to ask for mattress topper but the staff was super nice! The pool is amazing but when it's really windy, you get sprayed every which way when you're on the upper level of the pool.
