At RIU, we’re celebrating! 10-year anniversary of our first hotel in Aruba!

It’s been 10 years since we started to do business in Aruba. It was in 2007 when, in Palm Beach, we opened our first hotel on this marvellous island: the Riu Palace Aruba. Since then, we haven’t let up in our efforts to improve the experience of the guests at our facilities.

It was the first grain of sand we put in Aruba. Seven years later, we decided to renovate the complex from top to bottom to adapt it to a more elegant and modern style. That same year, in 2014, the Riu Palace Antillas opened.

In these 10 years in Aruba, at RIU we have tried to help to care for and conserve the beaches, flora and fauna of the island through diverse environmental campaigns. Thanks to the work of the Corporate Social Responsibility department, we’ve also carried out several social actions to help the island’s most disadvantaged inhabitants.

That’s 10 years and a great many changes. But the excitement, effort and dedication we at RIU have investing in growing hand in hand with Aruban society will remain unchanged. We will continue to give the best of ourselves so that our guests can enjoy our hotels in Aruba.

Thank you for placing your confidence in us!

    I have stayed at three Riu hotels around the world and Aruba is definitely on my list of places for the future. Our friends have stayed a few times and keep coming back for more.

    Great hotel, staff & island. Been 3 times & it won’t be the last.
    Love this place, Riu Palace Aruba.

    Stayed in the palace three years ago and thought then that this is paradise, stayed in May at the Antilles and this far exceeded our expectations, cannot wait to save and go back to the greatest place on earth, thank you

    Great hotel, first time in Aruba. A couple of things to note, the first is the pillows are too small and uncomfortable. Second, the nightly entertainment is lacking. Of the 7 nights we were here, there was only 1 show that was thoroughly entertaining – you can only soak in so much of the live band and kareoke! The staff Is friendly and service is excellent!
