"My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary at the Wind Creek Aruba Resort. Our goal was toes in the sand, no agenda, reset, relaxation. We stayed at the adults-only/Marina side. We had an amazing time and will likely be back! What we LOVED: - Staff - so friendly and helpful - Amenities - left like there were enough chairs, floats, etc for everyone without having to wait or be disappointed - Beaches/pools - the private island is amazing - the flamingos, iguanas, and atmosphere was perfect for us. The oceanside beach and pool were perfect and peaceful. None of the beaches or pool felt too crowded. Loved that so many water amenities were included - nothing like floating on the sea without fear of being pulled out too far. - Food - so many food options and each was delicious. We passed on "all inclusive" so we could explore the dining nearby - no regrets, soooo good. - Rooms - were very comfortable and well kept during our stay - Aruba in general - water quality was excellent, felt very safe. Wish we knew/would do differently next time: - Stay - I wish I'd understood that staying on the adults only/Marina side meant I would need to get on a boat or walk a ways to reach my beach options. Next time, we'd book oceanside. - Room - because we were in the adults only and/or the location of our room, it was easy to hear everything going on in the lobby/bar until all hours of the night. Just wasn't the vibe for us on this trip. "

"The facility and amenities were both fantastic . The service was top notch and attentive. The beach was small and crowded but the beach staff did their best to accommodate the guests. I would return !!"

"The recently rennovated room was great, and right on the beach. The restaurants were excellent as was the staff "

"Just got back from an awesome stay at the Hotel Riu Palace Aruba, and I'm giving it 5 out of 5 stars. The room was spotless. Bed was very comfortable, everything felt fresh. Perfect for crashing after a long day in the sun. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. Everyone from the front desk to the bar folks had big smiles and were quick to help with whatever we needed. Made the whole vibe feel welcoming and relaxed. Food-wise, the restaurants were top notch. Plenty of variety, everything tasted great. The shops on-site were solid too—grabbed a few souvenirs without having to venture far. And the pool and beach areas were fantastic. Right on Palm Beach with that gorgeous white sand and clear water, and the swim-up bar was super convenient. The whole setup just screamed chill paradise mode. Spent most days bouncing between the beach, pool, and a cold drink. Overall, if you're heading to Aruba, this spot is a winner. Would definitely go back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!"

"Clean room and staff was exceptionally nice and accommodating. Only disappointment was our hot tub was not working properly so we dis bit get to enjoy that. "

"Hilton was great about adjusting our travel dates due to a winter storm back home. Jayden at the front desk was stellar and our room upgrade was much appreciated. The breakfast was fantastic and the location excellent. It will be good to get the other pool open soon as the pool complex as it stands now lags behind the other Palm Beach hotels, as does the quality/value of the pool bar. Overall we had a very good stay!"

"Room was cleaned daily, everything was fresh, no issues ! "
