Radisson Blu

Great experience. Loved the Infinity pool and the rooms were super luxurious! Shout out to Ticiana at the front desk as well as the others who provided outstanding and attentive customer service support and suggestions.

We had a wonderful stay at the Radisson Blu Aruba and would definitely return. From the moment we arrived, the staff was genuinely warm, welcoming, and helpful. The hotel was spotless throughout our stay, and the level of service was excellent. Our two-bedroom, two-bath suite was fantastic—spacious, modern, and perfect for relaxing after a day exploring Aruba. The balcony overlooking the pool was a great place to enjoy morning coffee or unwind in the evening. Speaking of coffee, the in-room coffee was surprisingly good, which was a nice bonus. One of our favorite features was the rooftop infinity pool. It has a peaceful, laid-back atmosphere with beautiful views and never felt overcrowded. The location is another big plus. It's just one block from Palm Beach's restaurants, shops, and nightlife, yet tucked away enough to be quiet. The beach is about a five-minute walk, or you can take the complimentary shuttle if you prefer. Also, don't miss brunch or lunch at The Clover. The food was fresh, healthy, and delicious, and the poolside atmosphere was great. A couple of recommendations for future visitors: spend at least one day at Eagle Beach. Rent chairs and arrive by 9:30 a.m. (or earlier) to get a great spot—it's one of the most beautiful beaches we've visited. If you're looking for spacious accommodations, outstanding staff, a relaxing rooftop pool, and an excellent location near Palm Beach, this is an easy recommendation. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The Radisson Blu Aruba didn't disappoint. Our family of 4 (2 boys, 21 & 18) stayed over 5 nights including the 4th of July. The property is very nice, clean, decent pools - could have used better music but that's why you bring your own! Aruba is always warm and windy, so you have to expect there to be some debris around, but the staff does a nice job to keep things tidy. We stayed on the 10th floor "island view", in a 2 bedroom suite. The room was perfect for us and had all the amenities necessary. The "island view" - looked over at the residential area across the road, which was nice, but if you can get a pool view, go for it. BUT, we are not there to stare out the windows! Costs about $41 via taxi (roughly 20 minutes) to get from the airport to the Blu. Airport is super easy to get through - we didn't check bags. Staff at the front desk is very nice and accommodating. I wish I remembered names, but all were great. Pool towels are easy to get and exchange. Say hello to the pool cat if you see him - so friendly and chill. Adult only pool on 3rd floor is cool. Not busy at all! The best part about the Blu is the location - right at the edge of EVERYTHING in the downtown area and 5-ish minute walk to the beach. It is also extremely safe there too! Highly recommend - Gianni's Restaurant, Wacky Wahoo Restaurant, The Sexy Shrimp Bar, Gusto Nightclub, Vue Rooftop Bar, and Moomba is OK too (waitstaff sucked/rude, but a great vibe for watching World Cup games and DJ music). Everything is expensive, be prepared ($40 for a bucket of 6 beers at Moomba). Casinos at the Hilton and Hyatt are nice, but I am convinced you never win (ha). Check out Jolly Rogers Afternoon Cruise & Snorkeling - awesome time! Rockabeach UTV rides through the island - incredible! They say Aruba is one happy island, and I have to agree. Radisson Blu was recommended to us, and I am recommending to you! Great location, great staff, great value, great rooms, great vibes!

We stayed the last night of our trip here. We got two rooms for our family of 6 because none of the 3 bedroom units were available. The grounds were very pretty and peaceful. The pool was nice and I liked their pool towel exchange system. However the hallways on the floors ( we visited three different floors and were all the same) had a very bad musty smell. The rooms were clean enough, but tiles in the bathrooms had mold, the couch needed a cleaning and the air conditioning vents leaked and dripped water and various areas of the ceiling were damp/dripping which contributed to the musty smell.

Great location, close to the beach and downtown. Amenities are fantastic. Staff is very helpful and kind, more specifically Dondré was great.

Booked a last minute trip to Aruba and wasn't sure where to stay. This hotel turned out great, especially for the price. The grounds are clean and have greenery and pools. The upstairs has an adult only infinity pool that looks towards the ocean. Easy, quick walk to the beach (though they have a shuttle too). Close to the busy area with lots of food choices and smaller shops if you want, but also had a calm vibe too. We never experienced excess noise and it was very peaceful. Doesn't have high end finishes in the large suite, but don't let this deter you from booking. It is maintained well and clean and is not dated. We weren't expecting it, but we had a separate living area too. All staff members were friendly and helpful.

We forgot that we booked this for 1 night between stays elsewhere. We received a reminder 6 days before our stay, 1 day after the cancellation window. We called Choice hotels and they claimed they couldn’t refund our points but would call the hotel. They tried to contact the hotel multiple times and no one picked up. We called Choice again and got the same results . We tried calling the hotel ourselves and they answered and told us that they couldn’t do anything and we needed to talk to Choice. I realize that missing the cancellation window is our fault but a 1 week ahead cancellation is not standard, especially for a hotel with plenty of vacancy. The fact that no one picked up on multiple calls is frightening. We missed the trip because my wife had last minute surgery. As travel agents we look forward to not recommending choice properties .

We just returned home yesterday and I can’t say enough good things about The RADISSON Blu. I miss it already LOL! The entire 8 day stay was such a wonderful experience. The staff were amazing, professional, and friendly. Our housekeeper Sonia was so kind and always greeted us with a smile. She was very accommodating and helpful whenever we needed anything. The resort has nice eateries and the location is within walking distance of the beach and many great restaurants and shops. One of my personal favorites was a sweet little black and white kitty named Blu who hangs around the resort. I loved seeing her every day and night. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you to all staff for making this such a memorable vacation.

It all starts where you’re greeted! It can make or break your stay. You are greeted at the front entrance by Santos and Peter. They both greet you with a warm, friendly smile and make you feel at home. They go out of their way to accommodate you in any way possible and tend to your personal needs. they both have gone out of their way to help me with things that aren’t their responsibility. The Radisson Blu is very fortunate to have found people who represent them so well. The people at the front desk.Leyonardo Ticians and Asanya have all been wonderful as well. My family and I have been traveling to Aruba for 26+ years and this has become one of my favorite places to stay. This was a new stay a few years ago when they opened up. They have since worked the kinks out and have elevated their standard to a whole different level. Thank you for making my most recent three trips a wonderful experience. Sincerely, William Saviano

Fantastic Stay at Radisson Blu Aruba! We recently stayed at the Radisson Blu Aruba and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The hotel’s location in Palm Beach is perfect. It is situated right by "The Strip," putting you within walking distance of fantastic restaurants, shopping, and nightlife. However, because of its smart layout, the hotel itself feels like a quiet, peaceful oasis away from the hustle and bustle. Our room was incredibly spacious—much bigger than your average hotel room, which gave us plenty of space to relax. The service throughout our stay was top-notch. Right from the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by a porter named Peter, who made us feel welcome immediately and helped us with our luggage. The absolute highlight of the hotel is the fantastic rooftop terrace and pool area. The views are stunning, and it’s the perfect spot to unwind. We also spent some great time at the Blue Tap bar, which served excellent drinks and had wonderful, friendly staff. We highly recommend Radisson Blu Aruba for anyone looking for the perfect mix of a central location, great service, and a relaxing vibe. We will definitely be back!

Ticiana and jaynah are so kind and nice they are always so happy and have so much energy they both have really good personalities you know people are nice by how they act. If I had to give this hotel a rating it should be 5/5 it was an awesome stay because of people who are kind at this hotel definitely recommend from Sydney k

Charming hotel with great location, near the best shops and amenities. Friendly and accomodating staff! Do not miss the gem of a gourmet Spanish shop, bar and restaurant, "Don Esteban Gourmet" (in the hotel.) Amazing wines, iberian beers, and delicious Spanish olives, meats, cheeses and desserts. The manchego is NOT to be missed! The service and atmosphere is fantastic for a snack, a wonderful glass of wine or a charcuterie style dinner! Christopher and Camila were both a delight! Service oriented and helpful. What a terrific experience. An authentic taste of Spain in the middle of Aruba. Great vibe!!

This is an amazing hotel to choose if you have a family- the 2 bedroom and condo layout YET has all amenities of a hotel - its perfect. The pool is huge and the entire location is spotless, quiet and yet centrally located to all the high rise hotels and beaches. We have been a repeat customer and will continue as its our now favorite hotel of all of them. Santos and the hotel staff are friendly, helpful, and will start your vacation with a glass of champagne!

This hotel is within walking distance to the main strip. Staff is friendly and helpful. We had a small misunderstanding and Jackson took care of us. He is a great guy as well, had a great conversation with him. For the cost of the hotel it met all of our needs. It is very clean, two gorgeous pools that are very comfortable and relaxing. Shaded and sun areas throughout. Pool bar (kinda pricey drinks but bogo HH deal), daily activities, yoga, salt scrub and jewelry making class all included. Buffet breakfast had a nice variety and with made to order omelet’s. Rooms are spacious with two bathrooms. Very convenient with two teenage girls. Full size fridge but no stove. Cleaning crew was excellent. Free parking, free daily bottled water, beach towels for borrow. Coming back and will stay here every time.

It is close to everything, 5 min walk to beach or the beach shuttle will get you there in no time. The staff are always so attentive and friendly.especially: Leyonardho, Santos,Jarlins, Peter. Who greeted us everyone day with a smile and treated us like family.The rooms are clean spacious and comfortable. This was our third time and we will be back.

Great hotel! Leo at the front desk is amazing, extremely helpful and offered great tips and suggestions. We would recommend the property. Breakfast could be improved with selection and service. Food was very very limited. Other than that great stay

I will leave a full review after we check-out, but wanted to leave a quick warning. This hotel has serious privacy issues. Hotel staff entered our room multiple times despite us having the “do not disturb” light on. The reception area is very dingy and gives a Motel 6 vibe. I’m not sure how this place has so many good reviews - I’m guessing it’s because of the impression that one or two staff left on them. There are one or two staff who seem to go out of their way to make the guests feel welcome, but the rest of the staff are lazy and sub par. If you are lucky enough to get a decent staff at check-in, you might get a glass of champagne and towel cards and an explanation of their “amenities” - or, like me, you could get a rude woman who seemed to want to do the bare minimum to get us checked-in, didn’t offer champagne, didn’t offer towel cards or any sort of explanation of anything and seemed genuinely annoyed to be checking people in. The family pool is so much smaller in person than it looks in pictures. I will give a very detailed review once we check-out, including more information about the privacy and safety issues. Aruba has so many hotels to choose from. This is not a good choice.

It’s a nice place. Very clean and spacious rooms however it’s a bit deceiving in the info. This is not really a family hotel it’s an adults one to be honest but with weird quirks. The pool bar closes at 6 pm on the ground floor, the one restaurant open with actual food is next to the adults only pool making it confusing and there’s not really many food options at all. We have some common food allergies and were told we can’t help you here at the buffet one morning. There’s only one person working the pool bar downstairs that also serves food making it hard to get drinks and food at times. The language barrier we expected but it’s to the point we needed Google Translate to ask for towels. Upon checking in we mentioned our 15 year anniversary and they replied with “that’s nice” meanwhile we went to the ritz for dinner and our kids mentioned it and we given a balloon display along with deserts and champagne. While the Radisson blu is lovely the beach area they “reserve” is right at the boat launch and chairs and umbrellas are hard to get if you’re not there by 9 am most days. They tried but there are alot of misses that neighbor resorts have making them more desirable. This is fine for adults only but if coming with family we’d suggest picking another option. We came with teenagers and still it was tough. The resort shops on property also don’t have dedicated hours. One seemed to be closed most the time making it difficult to get what was needed.

Wow! Ocean view is amazing. Service was exceptional! Everyone greeted us with a smile and wished us well in our daily outings. I'd return in a heart beat!
