    Vacation 2025

    We joyed our stay at Rui Palace in January 2025, the property was very clean. We were disappointed in the quality of wine (yuck) also we had trouble getting in restaurants especially the Steakhouse when most of the table were not occupied,

    Great place and great location! One of the best beaches!

    We had a group of 16 of us for my son's 21st Birthday. Everything was great! We don't usually have dinner at the RIU we like to go down town to Gianni's or Daniels Steakhouse but we did have dinner one night at the RIU Steakhouse. If I had one complaint it would be the wait time but we really did not mine we were on vacation and we did have a large group! Things happen we are pretty easy going...This was our 3rd time staying at the RIU in Aruba we highly recommend it
