This hotel is not a 4 star hotel. Upon check-in, we were told our room was ready but the elevator was out of service to our floor. They accommodated us (I am pregnant) to another floor closer to ground floor which was great. However, walking into this room, the bed sheets were dirty, had hair and stains. The mattress was as rock hard, the most uncomfortable bed we have slept in. The pillow cases did not fit the pillows. The comforter was wool and extremely dirty. The lobby smelled like a bathroom. We were woken up three times at 2-3AM by construction going on floors above us and had to call to complain. There were no do not disturb signs so we were disturbed from naps every day. We were told restaurants open at 6 pm. There was one restaurant that only allows minimum seating for 6pm. The next seating isn’t until 9pm, but the entire restaurant was empty. This happened on our last night and we were not advised of this policy. They also told us restaurants do not take reservations and are first come first serve, but when we arrived to this steakhouse restaurant, they had already taken reservations starting from 3pm. The food at the buffet was constantly cold even when we were the first to walk in at 12 pm. There was no drink service on the beach and no one to assist helping us with beach chairs. The umbrellas were broken and staff walked around handing out screws that we had to put in ourselves to support the umbrella staying open. It is a shame, because Aruba is a beautiful.

To be fair, I think we’ve decided we are not all-inclusive fans. Most of the food is mediocre. Our best dinners were the ribeye steaks at the steakhouse. Rooms were huge and so was the bed. Bed was a little hard and everyone in our 14 person group were complaining about the pillows. The palapa on the beach were great but you had to go out and put your stuff on the chairs at 6:30am to get one. What we didn’t like about it was the noise. All 14 of us would be at the pool and all afternoon the loudspeaker was going with various games. Fun for the first day or two and then we were over it. Although our room was ocean facing, it was over the entertainment area and it was incredibly loud each evening. I was told it would end each night by 10:30. Our last night it went on till 11:00 Last time we were in Aruba we stayed down the street. The rooms weren’t as nice but the facilities didn’t break your eardrums. Also, for some unknown reason, the wind is always hurricane force at the RIU. Walk a short ways down the beach and it turns into a comfortable breeze. We won’t go back to the RIU.

I am not the one to write a review, nor have I ever written a review, but I had too after spending $3,500 for not even a week. This was our first trip to Aruba and may be our last. We arrived and were greeted by great staff. When we got to our room, there was an overwhelming smell of mildew and the furniture was very old/outdated and stained. The tub drain was broken and the parts were left inside the tub. The room was dirty and still had hair on the floor in the bathroom from the previous customer. We had an issue with a light blinking in our room, which was taken care of very quickly, but they left a mess on the floor where the light was changed. Regarding the resturaunts, the buffet food was OK, but the outdoor seating had flies and birds everywhere. You CANNOT make reservations at the specialty dining resturaunts. You must go there before they open and stand in line with your entire party or you cannot eat there. Most of the beach chairs were broken, and forget about actually trying to find a spot to sit. Many mornings, all the chairs at the pool and beach were claimed by someone leaving their towel on them and not returning. Overall, Riu needs to update and catch up with the resorts around them. My wife and I walked down the beach and walkway to see the other resorts which were more up to date and would have rather spent a little more to not have that experience.
