Apr 17, 2025Aruba Rui Palace a must for all inclusive
We had a wonderful time at the Riu Palace. Our room overlooked the pool. The room was spacious and the bed had two zip codes. The decor did not deter from our wonderful stay. We have been to other all inclusive properties throughout the Caribbean. One of the nice things,at the Palace, is that we actually were able to eat at the restaurants. No reservation, just show up for a 6:00 or 9:00 seating. The staffs were always accommodating. We ate at the Steak House and Krystal twice. We loved getting waited on and enjoyed a three course meal. Krystal restaurant was amazing. The staff and our waitress, Jasmine, provided top of the line service. We loved the menu. We also ate at the Steak house. Just terrific and a must try. I had the filet with lobster. Magnificent. The Palace buffets served lots of food, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Again very good selection, one night they had Beef Wellington. We also tried the buffets at the Antilles. Very good. Different atmosphere. The scene was more cosmopolitan. The beach was good. It seemed that storms had washed up lots of sea weed. But again that is not a bad thing. Overall we would go back. Our plans are to bring our kids and their families. Kudos to all the staff.....

Splendid Vacation
Our stay in Aruba was great. The resort is next to some shops and small eateries. April is a windy month for them so keeping a hat on your head was hard but the weather was very pleasant. We highly recommend the steak house. Staff isn't as friendly as they are at every other RIU we have been at but still good overall. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool most of our days. Great for a small getaway.
