"Wow wow this is the best All Inclusive hotel in Aruba! We were a bit sceptical before going to this hotel due to some bad reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised when we got to our spaciously clean room with a balcony facing the main pool area and sea. All the staff from the front desk to the bar/restaurant and entertaining team (including house keeping) were very helpful and friendly, too many to mention by name, but our highlight was the Beach Club Restaurant and staff Jaime, Jozef, Gisela and Natalie, who always welcomed us with a true smile 😊"

"Room was good,staff not very responsive,not being informed before they give you an answer. One of the bedrooms was locked and i had to call them come and unlock it because i had paid for. Pool area was good,staff at the bar next to pool were ok with few exception,there was a happy hour time-i ordered a dring few time around 20 min before the happy hour ended and thay charged me as i had ordered out of that time because they did not deliver the order within the time frame so by the time.i received the dring it had passed the time frame.A big issue was shuttle service to the beach. Based on the how they advertise the service there should be a service every 30 min from hotel to the beach area and vixe versa,initially there were 3 shuttle cars and than for the rest of my week stay i saw only one and you had to wait longer than 30 min after you tell someone there to call the service. One of the hosts or people who meets you at the entry was very arrogant and rude,his name was PETER and i had 2 bad episodes with him ,fist one was at front desk when I was asking for the water jars in the hall whay was any water there ,he very abruptly and arrongantly said that we serve water until 8pm. Not even offering a bottle of water which other employers there they always offered for free and second episode was when we were waiting for cab and everyone had to wait for their cab,he took our cab and gave other people despite his coworker told him that the cab was for me.He was the worst person ."

"All staff were friendly and accommodating. The buffet breakfast is phenomenal (cooked omelets and eggs, pastries, meats, cheeses, fruit, cereal/oatmeal). The rooms are great with separate bedroom and balcony. "

"Beautiful property very friendly, restaurants. Food is fantastic even your coffee in your room."

"Perfect for a quiet luxury small resort. Spacious room, great balcony, beautiful pool and directly across the street from the beach. The beach staff were always accommodating in setting up chairs and umbrellas. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet resort but next to everything you’d need if it’s not at the actual resort itself. Gym next door, groceries right up the road. Plenty of parking for a car rental, escooters outside, bus station right in front across the street."

"The staff here are amazing! Polite, friendly and just great people! The pool is great! With excellent entertainment!"

"Great stay and will stay again"

"We originally booked at Riu Palace Aruba – All Inclusive, but were moved to Barcelo Aruba due to renovations — with no price adjustment, despite a glaring downgrade in quality. We traveled as a large family with three separate rooms, and the issues were consistent across all of them. The rooms lacked essentials you'd expect at a 3-star hotel — no hair conditioner, no body lotion, and showers clearly not cleaned daily. Multiple requests to replenish the shower gel dispenser went ignored. Our children reported identical conditions and virtually nonexistent service in their rooms. My son's room phone didn't work. Despite acknowledging the issue and promising a replacement, it was never fixed. Paint was visibly peeling off hallway ceilings — clear signs of neglected upkeep that contradict the hotel's rating. Beach umbrellas were severely insufficient, forcing us to wake up at 4:30 AM to secure shade and chairs — an artificial problem not seen at neighboring hotels and easily fixable. The towel policy was equally frustrating: service was listed until 6 PM, yet staff refused to hand out towels after 5 PM, while the pool and beach remained open and in use. For an all-inclusive resort, the food quality, variety, and dietary options were disappointing and well below what the hotel's rating and price suggest. Overall, a deeply disappointing experience for a large amount of money — consistent across our entire family. "
