    Spring Break destination: ARUBA

    This is the second time we’ve stayed at Riu Palace. Clean rooms and property. Staff is very welcoming. The property is beautiful. Room was large with king bed and separate sitting area with sofa, coffee table, dining table and 2 chairs. They have dispensers in the bathroom with hand soap and body lotion. The walk in shower has body wash, shampoo and conditioner. They also provided a hair dryer. First trip we were on the top floor. Views for days!!!! This trip we were in 308. NO VIEW. It’s right off the elevator and behind the decorative wall that faces the pool.

    2 weeks in Paradise!

    First time staying at a Riu. Excellent food. Great service. Great location. Only complaint would be the saving of lounges all day. Only got the chance to use the pool twice in 2 weeks.
