They have lots of space for them, we just did not see them out.. also, I believe that you have to reserve them the day before and if you want one beside the pool on the one side you have to pay for it.. I was not impressed with that

Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any questions about this or any other resorts or restaurants on Aruba

The food at the Riu Palace is okay… it really all depends on your taste.. we found the food at the Riu Antillas to be better but still not gourmet.. these type of all inclusives have similar food quality.. the good thing is you don’t really need an all inclusive in Aruba because there are great restaurants very close by. We have a video up showing all the food buffets at the riu Antillas. Check it out to get an idea..

The food was great

Great location and great resort

Budget friendly resort with great location

It is one of our favorite resorts in Aruba!

Did you book the snorkel tour? It was well worth the money.. where are you staying?

Staying at RIU and we didn’t book the tour yet. Can’t wait.

Check out our resort tour videos on both Riu hotels.. we love both Riu’s.. you are going to have a great time.. let me know if you have any questions about Aruba or if you need any suggestions.. we are happy to help

Always loved Chuck’s … a good value

Yes this is an all inclusive resort, so all of the restaurants are included.. you will have to make reservations for the specialty restaurants, but you can walk right into the buffet anytime..

I actually cont know which rooms have been renovated, however the rooms that we have stayed in were in good condition and very clean. A very nice resort with good amenities.. thank you for watching.. make sure to subscribe as I have another video on the Eagle Aruba coming out soon..

So many resorts on Aruba.. Rui has a big following but so does Divi… I will reserve my judgment of which I prefer.. we give the information and let the people decide.. thanks for watching

Great to hear from you again. We took a little break but we are back to making videos and showing off fabulous Aruba.. thanks for your support..

So glad you had a great trip! Great to hear from you again. We are planning another trip to the island soon so make sure to check back for more updates. Thanks for all your support!

Hello, thanks for the question, we are happy to help.. as a guest at the courtyard by Marriott you get a choice of appetizer per guest per day at the bar in the evening for free.. during happy hour.. we liked the pin wheel and the bruschetta.

@@PerpatowithNV Thank you very much for your information!!!, it is really appreciated. What can you tell me about the beach? Is there an exclusive area for guests? Is it nice? very far? Do you think this hotel is a good option? Thank you so much!

They have a shuttle that will take you to Palm beach where they do have their own section. Palm beach is one is the nicest beaches on Aruba. It is located in front of the new st. Regis hotel. The courtyard by Marriott has one of the most comfortable beds but do request a room further away from the windmill restaurant in front as they have a nightclub there that has very loud music at night.

Great to hear! Thank you for watching. Riu palace has a great location on Palm beach. Let us know if you have any questions. Enjoy your trip and send us a message when you get back to let us know how it was.

Thanks for watching. It is hard to recommend a resort because everybody is looking for something different.. take a look at our hotel videos and narrow down which ones you maybe considering and then I can help you choose.. you will not regret going to Aruba..

@ thx. We are looking for a hotel with a great pool area (including swim up bar or nice pool bar), beachfront w/ nice restaurants. With that in mind, do you have a couple suggestions?

We can narrow down to the areas of Palm beach or Eagle beach.. the Divi Phoenix, Hilton, Hyatt regency, playa Linda maybe good choices on Palm beach.. out of those we do have a video on the Divi Phoenix.. the pools and beach are amazing.. on eagle beach you can take a look all oil at the new iberostar resort.. I believe they have a swim up bar and it is brand new resort.. if you are looking for nightlife then the Palm beach strip is better.. if you are looking for all inclusive then I would suggest the Riu Antillas.. it has everything you asked for

Yes they have chairs and palapas on the beach.. they will take you there with a golf cart and set you up.. absolutely amazing.. they even have servers from the restaurants and bars from La Cabana resort .. they will bring drinks and food directly to your beach chair when you order… Eagle beach is amazing!

Thank you for watching! We love the Embassy suites because it is newer and the breakfast is much better than the courtyard.. in my opinion I would go to the Embassy Suites … the pool is great, the breakfast is good and the rooms are large.. congratulations on the wedding! Let me know if you have any other questions.. we are happy to help.

The Holiday Inn does offer an all inclusive package.. we did not get that, but we did have the buffet breakfast and it was great.. you can stay there as an all inclusive with drinks and food included or just the room which is what we did since there are so many wonderful restaurants around and we do not drink much at all.. I hope this was helpful.. let me know if you have any other questions..

We totally agree with you!

The courtyard by Marriot has a golf cart that will take you to Palm beach beside the police station. They have beach chairs and palapas available.. it is a really nice part of the beach but the palapas fill up fast.

Thank you for watching!

We had no issues with the wifi, but I guess it all depends on your room location.. working remotely sounds amazing!

Any month you go is great in Aruba..let us know if you have any questions .. we are happy to help

I don’t know if the pools are heated but they did not feel very cold. The sun warms the pools up very well..

A great place to go for a relaxing holiday.. some people like the loud and busy bars and clubs and others would rather go to a calm and quiet place.. thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Make sure to check out our other Aruba videos as well..

Thank you so much for watching.. we do have many other Aruba videos coming soon.

To answer your questions: 1. We used our credit card and no hold except the price of the rental for the time we had it.. make sure to ask about this as this may have changed.. better to know before you go. 2. The insurance was in the card we used, so no additional insurance was charged. No hidden fees! 3.i had an international phone plan, so I was able to use Google maps for navigation. 4. Most car rentals are by the airport, but they will pick you up… if you decide to rent from a car rental at your hotel, plan to spend more per day.. 5. The car rental company will drive you to the airport after your drop off the car.. We have used tropic car rental and also wheels2Go. Both very good and no hidden costs.. Let me know if you have any questions..

@ thanks 🙏🏽

No problem… we are happy to help

Aruba is super safe! We have no issues walking at night. We have never felt uneasy or like we were in danger.. I would still keep my stuff out of plain site but that goes with anywhere you would be.. I feel safer in Aruba than back at home..

@@PerpatowithNV wow thanks for the feed back, I really appreciate it & thanks again for posting this video, I showed my wife & she is willing to try this hotel you posted, keep up the good work !

Have a great time

Breakfast is Monday-Friday 7am-10am and Sat-Sun 7am-10:30am … we do have another full Embassy suites video on KZbin. Check it out along with all our other Aruba videos that will give you an idea of restaurants and things to do

This is something we have not heard of happening… I would be very upset if that happened to us.

@ everyone that was affected were very upset, and we received an email from Riu afterwards that they aren’t prepared to give any type of refund

That is totally unexceptionable.. they are a large company that should take responsibility.. sorry this happened to you. We have never heard of this happening to anyone before

Yes all drinks are included along with all the food you can eat!

We never had an issue with finding seats around the pool.. they have so many seats and loungers.. it is one of our favourite pool areas in Aruba. Enjoy your trip!!!!!

@@PerpatowithNV thanks

Let me know how the trip goes and what you think of the Embassy Suites.

@@PerpatowithNV I will let you know. Thanks again for the information and video.

No problem

The cost of the rental was about $190 for seven days, everything included.. but price would depend on time of year… check the website as they do have specials some months..

Thanks for watching!

We appreciate your comment!

Parking in the city is with parking meter but along palm beach strip you can pay at some of the hotels or it is free if you are staying there or using the facilities or restaurant of that hotel. Check out our video on car rentals and we explain paid parking in the city

Of course you can walk to the beach and swim.. they have also recently set up palapas and chairs for guests…

The Embassy suites pool is amazing and very easy to get into with its wide steps and large size… plenty of space to play at this resort and the breakfast is really good

@@PerpatowithNV I'm going to try and go in May. I'm having hip surgery in 10 days and it will be a nice relaxing vacation. I went twice to Aruba this year but was barely able to walk with a cane. I stood at La Cabana Resort in Feb and The Ren in June.

You will find the Embassy suites a lot more relaxing than La Cabana resort.. A lot more space to more around.. we wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery

@PerpatowithNV Also the main pool at La Cabana will be closed in 2025 so the only option is a small Adult Pool and the beach. I like to alternate beach and pool.

I am sure you will have a great time

We really like the Divi Phoenix. The location and layout is great. Prices of all the resorts really depend on when you go. But the Divi resorts hotels are a great place to stay and play

We have videos on both resorts… the embassy suites is much newer and cleaner with a much nicer pool.. the breakfast is also better at Embassy suites… you can walk to the beach from Embassy suites and the strip of restaurants and shops is only a $7 cab ride or 15 minute walk.. we really liked the Embassy suites over the courtyard.. however the beds are very comfortable at courtyard.. our recommendation would be Embassy Suites… I hope that helps

@@PerpatowithNV thanks I appreciate you for responding 🫶🏿😃

No problem. Let me know if we can answer any other questions… I am sure you guys will have a great time

Great to hear… make sure to check out our video on the Riu Antilles and some of our other Aruba vlogs.. let us know if you have any questions. We are happy to help
