Vacations Close To Aruba Lava Formation

Everything about the Riu Palace was amazing. The parties, events and entertainment were GREAT. Definitely will be back to Aruba and will be staying at the Riu Palace again. AMAZING RESORT!!

The resort is really nice. The island is small and cozy. Everyone who works there is really good at their job, genuinely happy, and nice. The whole experience was so relaxing. They have a wonderful shuttle system that runs until 11 pm, taking you all over the resort. there are three resorts, the hotel, they villas, and the golf resort, the golf is across the street and the others are beach side, there is a small public beach between the villas and the hotel resort, where a lot of locals and guest stay, loved walking by it and watching locals enjoy the same beach I was enjoying, it solidified that I made the right choice of hotel stay, this place is a lot like jersey shore and the cape cods where families go every year. You have multi-generational families who go there annually. The staff would be hugging the regulars like they were family and having discussions with the kids about how much they have grown. Really cool to witness; it made me feel like I was somewhere special. The island slogan is "One happy island," OMG, so true. People here are really happy! I will be back next year to bring my family; I feel like they have to experience this Zen oasis!! Loved it. One wish, though- I wish that once we bought all-inclusive, it could be used across all resorts. Unfortunately, your inclusion only applies to your resort area and is closely supervised with color-coded bands. That's my only complaint; the food was delicious. BP-friendly!

Very nice staff and clean rooms. Beautiful pool and easy access to the Baby Beach. Food was amazing.

House of Mosaic is a one of a kind hotel.On our arrival at the front door, we were warmly greeted by Fernando, who is the owner of the property. He showed us to our room which happened to be the honeymoon suite. He gave us a tour of the room and explained how everything worked and answered all questions we had. Showed us where extra supplies were kept in case we needed them. He even offered us the use of two beach chairs for when we went to the beach. He also had prepared a light meal for us consisting of local food and sat with us at the bar gave us tips on how to get around the island. He was very friendly and showed a great interest in our stories of where we live in Canada and how we moved there from our birthplace. He then gave us a tour of the house and the gardens ect. He was genuinely pleased to welcome us as guests in his home, and we felt like we were staying with family and friends. I would recommend House of Mosaic if you’re looking for something different from the regular hotels.

Every member of the staff that I had an encounter with, was extremely friendly and respectful. The property and room was well maintained. My only issue was the iguanas running loose on the property during the day. I was scared of the iguanas. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay.
