"Bathroom shower was moldy. Very rocky beach, not walkable. No poolside beverage service. Front desk made us feel like we were bothering them when we checked in. I asked for a map of the property and was told there wasn’t one. The next day when we made dinner reservations with concierge she asked if we wanted a map of the property and a list of hotel activities. At checkout we were not asked about our stay or told they hoped we would come back in the future. "
"Overall a great experience. This was our second trip to the Riu in Aruba, our first trip was 10 years ago to the adults only side of the hotel. We do prefer the family friendly side as the pool is larger and there are more restaurants and amenities to choose from. We did a quicker trip this time, and were there over the weekend and only 2 weekdays. The weekend there was minimal to no construction which was great, and on the weekdays the construction wasn't too disruptive. The only issue was they were peeling off the old paint and with the Aruban winds it was all flying off into the pool area. Again, it didn't bother us much but it definitely bothered some so just beware.
We had no issues finding seats by the pool or the beach - just need to get up early and head out to save some before heading to breakfast.
All the workers from the front desk to the restaurants to the pool/beach staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Just as they were 10 years ago when we last visited! Hoping to be back again - and not in another decade!"
