Jan 03, 2025Anniversary at the RC
This was our first time staying at a Ritz Carlton! It was everything and more! We went to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Stayed 2 nights at the RC and then 2 nights at the Marriott Stellaris (which was also a great stay) The entire staff at the RC were spectacular! Friendly, helpful, smiling always! We were upgraded to a Suite, and the room and the view were perfect. My husband had communicated with the staff prior to our arrival that it was our anniversary. What a fantastic surprise when we entered our room! (They had asked if he was willing to share a picture of us, what a sweet momento they made for us) The grounds are gorgeous, and having sunscreen available all of the property is a definite plus! Clean beaches and fun tropical drinks too! For us, a fantastic stay!

Birthday trip in paradise! See you next year!
Once again, the Ritz Carlton did not disappoint! Staying true with their philosophy, everything is a yes. The facility was absolutely gorgeous! You must upgrade to a suite, allowing access to the concierge level. The concierge level suite is five star all the way! Breakfast, lunch, dinner and drinks, including alcohol are included. We ate breakfast and lunch there and went out for dinner. The staff was so friendly and went out of their way to give an enjoyable experience.

Jose Drinks Yellow Bus
Went here for Christmas and the Yellow bus outside has the best Margaritas and all drinks. Jose serves them and they are so good. Would definitely try the Mango Passionfruit Margarita. The experience was very good! Would recommend it to anyone who is here.

Dec 30, 2024Best of the options
I’m a little sour on Aruba - they’ve over built Eagle Beach now so what was once a sleepy island with gorgeous beaches and calm seas is now Oahu east. There is so much boat traffic in the water it taints the view. And the roped in swim areas are ugly too. But if you must come I think the Ritz is the best option. Rooms are great and service is excellent versus the over busy and over crowded options. My only complaint is this hotel doesn’t feel like a typical Ritz. It’s nice but not Ritz nice. The decor is kinda blah.

Luxury awaits!
Beautiful and stunning Hotel located on the north end of Palm Beach. I travelled with my wife and 2 young adult children. We stayed in room 5227 in the South Tower which has 2 Queens and is considered Ocean Front. We were able to view stunning sunsets from our balcony. The room was large enough for the 4 of us for a week. The room was ultra clean, modern furniture and beds were super comfy. I would recommend if you have the choice to stay in the North tower simply due to the fact that there is only one set of elevators, and they are closest to the North tower rooms. If you don't mind a 300 step walk from the elevator to your room, then South is fine for you. For snacks/groceries, I recommend the Super Food plaza, 5 minute drive from the Hotel, and it has everything! Airport Taxi took ~ 20 minutes from the airport to the Hotel, cost was $40 USD. Please note that Taxi's only accept cash. Uber is not active in Aruba. The room has a small fridge and coffee Pod station(Pod's are supplied). As a Platinum Elite member I was upgraded to the ocean front room from my originally booked ocean view room. A big thank you to Johmar at the Front Desk whom pleaded my case to the back room decision makers to get me the upgraded room. Johmar was amazing! I received a card from the Hotel that outlined my benefits for being a Platinum Elite member: -4pm late checkout (based on availability) -complimentary enhanced internet access -10% savings on log merchandise in the gift shop -welcome gift of 1000 Bonvoy points -50% bonus on Bonvoy points -guaranteed room type -Enhanced room upgrade(based on availability, does not include Suites or Club Room access) Casino entrance is at the Front lobby. As a Platinum Elite member, when I signed up for their Players card, I received a $30 Slot credit. Housekeeping will stock your room with as much bottled water as you want, free of charge. Pool- I only went in the adult pool(or Relaxtion pool as Ritz calls it), a little on the smaller side, but hardly anybody uses it so it always had chaise lounge chairs available. One of the reasons is probably due to the fact there isn't a lot of shade at the pool. The Umbrella's are permanent so you can't move them around, and there aren't a lot of trees to provide shade. Beach- *Very private since the Ritz is the last hotel on the north end of Palm beach. *If you would like front row to the ocean chairs, you need to arrive at 6am and sit yourself down and wait for the Ritz Beach attendants to come at 7am (their start time) to where you are sitting and set up your umbrella, chaise lounge cover sheet, and beach towels. Bring some T-shirts or similar to attach to your chairs so that they do not get re-allocated to another Guest. Please tip the Attendants as after all folks, you are staying at the Ritz!!! ;) If you are okay with sitting close to the Hotel far from the ocean, no need to arrive early morning, there were always chairs available all day on the Beach near the back during my stay. *Free Sunscreen, cold water jugs, & paper cup stations are positioned throughout the beach *Beach food/drink orders are as efficient and speedy as I have ever encountered. Simply raise the yellow flag at your beach umbrella and within minutes(or seconds) a Server will arrive on a Segway to take your order. There is a QR code on the yellow flag so you can view the menu. *Water entry is very child friendly, the beach swim area is roped off to prevent motorized boats from entering the swimming area. At the very end of the roped out area, it was still only a little deeper than waist high for me. The water is very warm. *Jose at the pop up VW Drink Van makes the best drinks on the island, don't miss out, order a drink from Jose, you will be thrilled!
