Fantastic choice for those visiting Aruba! Great dining options, super easy access to the beach, incredible staff. The only improvement could be an update to some areas. This felt like an older hotel - the outlets were loose and provided very limited power;structures felt old; and (this one was disappointing for me but may not be relevant for others) the gym is outrageously unacceptable with broken and rusty equipment. Overall, though, I’d still recommend. It was clean, welcoming, and conveniently located.

The location is amazing, walking distance to popular restaurants and night life. The hotel is in dire need of an upgrade. You will feel like you’re stepping into a time capsule both in the lobby and in the rooms. Musty smell in the room and no usb chargers given it’s an older hotel. Beach was amazing so made up for the rooms being so outdated.

Do not stay at the Riu! There is MOLD everywhere. We had to switch our rooms because of the mold. When I complained, they came out and wiped or painted over the mold around our room vents. We are highly allergic to mold and suffered everyday! There is a lot of moisture and humidity in the room which causes the floor to be wet and slippery the entire time! The food is awful! The friendliest staff members were the bartenders. Not worth the $1,000. A night!!! Oh and you have to wake up at 6:00AM if you want to find a chair at the beach or pool. I would not recommend the Riu!!! Needs to be knocked down and rebuilt for sure!!!
