"We had a great experience while staying here. Amenities and staff were great and from our room we could see the ocean and the main area where folks were eating at restaurants, shopping, etc. Happy Hours were fun also!"

"ALL of the staff were friendly and accommodating. Staff go out of their way to make sure we had everything we need. Ocean view was amazing! Property is well maintained. Can’t wait to visit again! "

"Love this place! Conveniently located to everything and you don’t even have to leave the property if you don’t want to! My sister and I had our own bedrooms and our own bathroom, full size refrigerator, and a very large living room. "

"Room was fine. The food needs a total overhaul. The buffet was uninspiring, cold items, not much variety. The four restaurants seem to be “filled” every night and no reservations were left but when you walked my there were so many empty tables. Why? The pool is small and can never get a chair. People leave towels on the chairs and don’t use them until early afternoon. This is unacceptable. Lounges for the beach need to be replaced, many are broken and they just aren’t comfortable. "

"Our stay was not the best experience. There is no available seats at the pool or beach, people ‘claim’ them at 6:00 am and do not return for 6 hours or more. Leaving anyone getting up after 6:00 am out of luck to enjoy beach or pool. Our room had a severe leak and was musty smelling. Do not go for the all inclusive unless day drinking is your jam. The divi dutch village is on the worst stretch of beach but you can get a chair so sharing in that resorts amenities was not great. The food is just okay we ate out most nights off the resort. We ended up at eagle beach most days paying 40$ for chairs and umbrella but we could at least enjoy the beach without getting burned to a crisp. The resort staff does nothing to prevent claim staking. There is no nightlife included in the all inclusive and our experience at a sister resort was not great. The process for paying for drinks was not explained and trying to do so brings suspicion. I finally got a gift card to pay for the drinks at the front desk but the bartender was not thrilled with me as an outsider and literally threw my drink at me. It ended up 1/2 on me and 1/2 on the floor. I am sure it was not his intention to do that but he made it quite clear he was not happy to serve me. At the end of the day it was all first world problems but Divi is not on my list for future visits. "

"Upon arrival at the Riu, we quickly realized something was off. Our first room had clearly not been cleaned properly—dirty floors and stains on the bedding were immediately noticeable. To their credit, the staff moved us to another room quickly, but unfortunately that room also wasn’t clean. We were then moved to a third room, which at least had the room type and view we had expected from the start. However, it still was not properly cleaned and even had hair in the shower drain. At that point we elected to just settle in rather than continue moving rooms. The hallways and common areas appear very worn and poorly maintained. Carpet tiles are peeling up, elevator surrounds are coming off the walls, and stains are visible in many places. There was also a strong, unpleasant smell in the hallways throughout our stay that gave the impression there may be a larger moisture or mold issue in the building. We also had ongoing issues with our room keys. They rarely worked properly, often requiring 10 or more swipes or a trip back to the front desk to have them reprogrammed. The staff often seemed frustrated or disengaged. To be fair, it felt like they were dealing with a constant stream of guest complaints, which likely makes their jobs difficult. Overall, the property appears to be struggling with basic housekeeping and maintenance, which made the stay disappointing"

"Traveled to Divi Aruba All Inclusive last week of February 2026 with my spouse. We have made 7or 8 prior visits but none within last 4yrs. Pros: Weather mid 80’s, ocean was clean and calm, staff are generally friendly and attentive to the duties. Garden view room was clean, comfortable and a short distance to beach. Cons: Restaurants on site are lacking and have limited menus with the chef’s take on preparation. Asian, Mexican and Italian restaurant meals contain non traditional ingredients so ask before ordering. The Mediterranean restaurant we passed on but it offered no hummus dish. Buffet is reduced to one resort for dinner so can be crowded but has many options including hummus. The beach is hit or miss on available chairs and palapas for shade. Aruba’s law allows anyone to use a palapa located on the beach, not just paying resort guests. However many of the people also feel free to use the resort restrooms, beach rinse stations, Wi-Fi and garbage receptacles. Lots of bottled beverages consumed on beach also. Disappointed resort security did not try addressing issues but instead stayed completely shaded while also enjoying the wi-fi playing on their phones."

"The Holiday Inn Aruba had a terrific location. We were waterfront on a beautiful strip of sandy beach and turquoise waters. The restaurants on site provided decent food and a selection of dining options. The only negative was a lengthy checkin procedure. It shouldn't take that long to check in. Staff was friendly and attentive. I would definitely go back."

"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!"
