"My husband and I had a really nice time at the Ritz for our honeymoon. Prior to our arrival they reached out to ask our preferences for housekeeping and turn down service as well as our transportation needs to and from the airport.
They greeted us with some bubbly and stored our luggage so we could start enjoying our time there since we were early. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating and the hotel and grounds were well maintained.
The room service was a good option at all hours but they didn't offer breakfast past 11 so if you are a late riser like us you have to start your day with lunch if you decide to to do room service. I will note there are not many vegetarian options on the menu (there are only 2). But I appreciate them heating up leftovers at all hours of the night for us! The other breakfast option was Ritual Coffee Culture which offers pastries and gelato.
There are a few restaurants on site. We visited Casa Nonna an and highly recommend it. I tried the sushi restaurant Noori and found it to be underwhelming. Lastly Madero's was a great option for pool/beach area.
We utilized the spa for massages but the jacuzzi and steam rooms are available to use free of charge for all guests.
When we ventured outside of the resort there was always a taxi waiting outside for guests which was convenient.
Check out the casino for some fun at the blackjack tables or your game of choice!"
Holiday Inn Resort Aruba - Beach Resort & Casino by IHG
10/10 Excellent
"Great location, clean facilities, plenty of meal options throughout hotel and nearby. The beds were very comfortable but they are full size not queen which made it tough for young adults to share beds. The rooms were on the smaller size but adequately furnished. Could use more hooks to hang wet towels and bathing suits but otherwise had a pleasant stay."
"Our trip was during the first week of August 2026.
I only have good things to say about this trip. This is my third Riu All-inclusive Hotel that I have beento, and like the other two Riu's, they never dissapoint.
I am a 63 yr old grandmother, and on this trip I went with my 18 year old college bound grandson. We are on oppposite ends of life-experiance and view-of-the-world- spectrum and it worked. We did stuff together, and went our own ways too. We both had a wonderful time.
The facility was in excellent condition and exceeded my expectations - I had read that they had been undergoing renovations; those renovations are completed.
Both grandson and I had a wonderful time.
There was buffet style dining, and fine dining. All were excellent. It was very easy for us to eat healthy - lots of fresh foods. One could go in a different direction with amazing desert options.
Lots of entertainment and activities. At night my grandson participated in these, while I went to bed : )
All staff members we interatcted with were excellent. Our room was clean, and had a balcony with a view of the Carribean Ocean.
We didn't want to go back home - I seriously considered adding another two days onto this trip, but did not want to loose a day making phone calls to set that up."
