Radisson Blu Aruba

Infinity pool, shuttle bus to the beach, free bottle of champagne

Great view…terrific infinity pool

Room was great and the hotel was clean!!! The pools were sparkling. The service was perfect and friendly.

Very nice hotel. The best parts: - The staff. The entire reception staff could not have been nicer or more helpful. All were great, but Peter and Santos were super helpful. - Cleanliness. The room was spotless when we arrived, and nicely cleaned during the week. - The bed. Ours was maybe the most comfortable hotel bed we have slept in for many years. I hate going on vacation and coming home exhausted because of an uncomfortable bed. - The pools and bars. There are several pools: kiddie pool, whirlpool, adults only pool, and others. All were clean and did not smell like they were over-chlorinated. Most areas around the pools had areas to get some shade too. The bars near the pools were nice, and served non-alcoholic drinks of all kinds too. Pool-side with a virgin pina colada is a winner. The not-so-great: - The food in the restaurants was ok, not great, and pretty expensive. Not really a problem because there dozens of nice small places within a three minute walk with every possible kind of food. - The pool furniture. There are LOTS of chaise lounges around the pools. About 2/3 are damaged badly enough and no longer comfortable. I am a pretty skinny guy, but either the fabric on the back was stretched out so that my back rested on a metal bar, or the fabric on the base was loose, so my butt sank into a saggy spot. These chaises are overdue for some maintenance. - Seating in the rooms. I didn't find the couch or chairs to be very comfortable.

The Blu Raddison is a perfect hotel with wonderful service, the rooms are modern and spacious and the pool areas are brilliant. The gym is nice and the upstairs pool has spectacular sunsets! Highly recommend this hotel!

Well located, easy to use. Nice pools and hot tubs. The clover coffee bar is outstanding. We would return.

While the room was very clean, the bedroom had an audible whistle in it. The whistle seemed to be coming from the window and was the result of the constant breeze on the island. We were told it appeared to be the outside seal and there was nothing they could do. Their remedy was to unlock the other bedroom (nearest to the common hallway with no view) which had a very strong musty, mildewy smell. It also was two twin beds instead of a king bed. Service. The 'restaurant' was average at best. The service was S-L-O-W. There was no poolside service for drinks or food.

Hotel was in a convenient location, close to restaurants and the beach. However, I paid for a pool view room and ended up with most of my view as a land fill. It was a hassle to receive wash clothes and the only ones they provided us were black cosmetic cloths. The sliding door on our balcony had a broken handle. We were locked out the bathroom in our room for hours after we checked in. There was no official bar and the one they had closed at 8:30.

Great location! Great pools!

Nice location, you can see everything from the rooms here. Book it you will enjoy the amenities of the restaurant, spa (get the massage I did and felt so relieved), mini market, coffee shop, the activities calendar (we made sea glass necklaces), the staff keeps this place immaculate. Everyone Estelle in the Spa, the entire rooftop restaurant staff, the valet staff, everyone here was so helpful and welcoming. There's a poolside bar too. And when youre at the beach you get a reserved umbrella and seating. The whole staff is helpful with the beach rides and towels. You will enjoy Everyday here. The views are better than the pictures. Go and see for yourself!

Radisson Blu has great and friendly staff and very well maintained grounds. The rooms are spacious. While the beds are made daily and the towels refreshed as requested, the floors and counters are not cleaned beyond a quick wipe down. The bathroom simply has no place to put anything. A sink, toilet and shower and ZERO counter space for toiletries. Partial drawers under the sink are barely of any use. The Bedroom has great storage space, a safe and large screen TV. The kitchen (ette) has a lovely Liebherer Full Size Fridge a small sink and small microwave. No range top or oven, plates, cups, cutlery or glasses. There are paper plates and cups and disposable wooden utensils. Each day we needed to request new ones. Pool towels are rationed - you get one, per day which is crazy if you go to the beach and then want have a clean towel at the pool. You take a chance getting a lounge chair on the beach if you arrive past 8:00 am. But you can pay for one at bar next to the Radisson beach area as we were instructed. Overall, our stay was good and when we had a concern it was quickly addressed. It was an expensive stay for $5,000 a week so we were not expecting to have to negotiate cutlery and plates and be disappointed about the beach chairs.

Room was spacious and spotless

The room was better than expected. It was spacious and immaculate. It was cleaned daily and they left the rooms immaculately and always refreshed the towels, refilled the extra amenities. I loved that it was just a few steps away from all the restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay there again. My family was happy with the friendly staffi and the bonus was offering pool yoga and jewelry making classes. We loved the Radisson Blu Aruba.

This was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in. Food and drink options were fine. Pricing was consistent with the area. I found the quality of the food to be above average. Location to dining and shopping was perfect. Even with the hotel at 90% capacity, it felt empty. We will stay here again and recommend this resort to all of our friends.

The room was exceptionally clean in all aspects, and I’m usually very critical on room cleanliness. Service was great from everyone including front desk staff,

Hotel was lovely. My room was clean and spacious and the staff was amazing! Very friendly and courteous. I really enjoyed my stay!

This was our first trip to Aruba. The staff was helpful and friendly. Check in and out was smooth and parking was very convenient. The room was clean and very spacious. Out pool view included a distant view of the ocean. The "kitchen" was just a microwave, large fridge and freezer and sink. We had to ask for plates and cutlery (which was provided but were disposable products). The pools were lovely and never crowded. We did not eat at the property since it was so convenient to walk to all the beach bars and restaurants. The only draw back was the beach space. The beach chairs provided were too few and always crowded. Since we were more interested in exploring the island and sitting on the more remote beaches this didn't affect us.

Staff was wonderful. Room immaculate.

Hotel was very clean. Staff were friendly and helpful. Convenient to walk everywhere.

The hotel location was excellent. But my room view was half construction half pool.

This hotel is lovely. I would definitely stay here again. The rooms are huge. We had a 3 bedroom 3 and a half bath suite. It had a full kitchen, dinning room and living room. Staff is friendly. The hotel is close walking distance to local shops and dining they also provide a shuttle to the beach however it’s about a 5 minute walk. They also have umbrellas and chairs available on the beach which are first come first served

While the room was very clean, the bedroom had an audible whistle in it. The whistle seemed to be coming from the window and was the result of the constant breeze on the island. We were told it appeared to be the outside seal and there was nothing they could do. Their remedy was to unlock the other bedroom (nearest to the common hallway with no view) which had a very strong musty, mildewy smell. It also was two twin beds instead of a king bed. Service. The 'restaurant' was average at best. The service was S-L-O-W. There was no poolside service for drinks or food.

Suites were amazing

Large & spacious room

Room (2 bedroom suite) was clean & comfortable. Kitchen was very sparse:few dishes, no toaster, no stove. But all in all a great hotel: super location, clean, beautiful pools, friendly staff. They have their own beach with free beach chairs & umbrellas. A bit close to the harbor but still a very nice amenity. All in all a great place to stay!

Nice hotel, good location, excellent room/bed, beautiful infinity pool BUT NO HOT WATER!!!! We only had a short stay so we worked around it but...what?!?!?

Modern hotel with huge rooms and two very large pools. We had a king ocean view which was huge with a living room and kitchen and balcony on 6th floor. Very clean and well maintained. Infinity pool is adult only and fabulous. A 5 min walk from the beach and it has its own beach area with shade and beds but very tricky to get one. People are allowed to reserve personally so by 7am ish all beds gone with people not turning up til midday. That was my only criticism though.

The property was clean and the location was decent, however, I took away a star for the service and the food at the pool/bar. We ordered drinks and food from the bar 2 days during our 5 day stay and was disappointed each time. The first time we ordered 2 entrees. One was bland and the other was not what I requested. On the 2nd day, I asked for just simply guacamole and nachos. They brought out a box of tortilla chips and 1 tbsp of “guacamole.” Each time the chips were stale. Each time they brought the food out in boxes and plastic bags for us to eat poolside. On one day there was a significant service charge and on the other there wasn’t. Other minor annoyances, the rooms aren’t very modern and furniture was extremely basic and stiff. The people working at/on the property were generally unfriendly. No one outside of the front desk seemed to smile or said any form of greeting; even when spoken to first. The one good thing I can say about this resort is the Clover cafe at the front. The cafe is amazing and has great food and service. It looks like it belongs on another property. The pastries were delicious and on our last morning we ordered breakfast. The four of us had pancakes, waffles, French toast and avocado toast with a side of smoked salmon. It was one of the best breakfast meals we had. I would note that even on the 9th floor, we still heard significant noise. The property is at the top/close to the main strip so party buses were coming through there often.

This is my second time to Aruba and second time at the Radisson Blu. They were the reason why we returned to Aruba. I recommended them to ton of my friends. I was a little disappointed this time, since we asked for an extra hour to check out we asked for 12:00 as opposed to 11:00. They refused us. I was surprised, since when we checked in we didn't get our room till 5:30pm when we allowed to check in at 3:00pm. We never complained. NOT ONCE. All we asked is if we could have had one extra hour. We would have never even thought about maybe staying somewhere else but now after that, we may.

We really like the location and overall hotel itself. Cleaning staff was excellent! What we found was the front desk staff was not very nice or helpful when we had questions regarding our accommodations. One specific issue was when we asked about changing our room with an upgrade...we were given two different prices and answers by two different staff members. It felt like they were just making up prices. This was our second time staying here Probably won't stay there again.

We just spent a week at Radisson Blu. It was great. The hotel was clean and in walking distance to so many good restaurants. The staff was beyond nice and accommodating. Peter was great and helpful. The room was amazing and had a great view.

Santos and Peter were great. Staff top notch!! Everything just great!!

The shuttle pick up was terrible. Every hour on the hour is ridiculous. Should be every 30 minutes. We waited for over 20 minutes one day. Even called the front desk & still a no shown. WE had to take a cab. No apology at the front desk either - when we got back - there was 4 staff members standing there doing nothing - no guests were checking in. Meanwhile your one page check-in sheet, mentions complimentary shuttle mentions nothing if this every hour ridiculous shuttle. We were supposed to get a complimentary bottle of champagne at check-in- we did not receive.

The staff was amazing and we highly recommend this venue!!

Some of their staff are rude, especially Rubella and Alexander. The way they speak to guests is insulting. Which is crazy because you pay a lot of money to stay. I spoke with the manager and all he could do is apologize. I wouldn’t spend my money here again. I’ve been to Aruba three times this hotel is a two out of three.

The staff made this stay amazing! They were all very helpful and kind and made our anniversary trip perfect. Peter specifically and another young lady at the front desk whose name I didn’t get were very helpful and pleasant. Great location with numerous restaurants within walking distance and easily accessible to get to other areas on the island. Would recommend!

10/10. Our stay was amazing. Everything was walking distance. The beach was a 5-8 min walk yet there was shuttle service to and from the beach in case the sun was too much. A selection of food options was also a few feet away which was nice. The hotel itself was beautiful. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. It was just perfect. Anything we needed everyone was so helpful and polite. My one wish was the pool water to be a little warmer. Weather was in the low 80’s so not too hot but beautiful weather. The water in the pool was freezing. Was a little hard to get used to. But we stayed in the jacuzzi so that made up for it. Over all great stay.

Great spot if you don’t mind a three minute walk to the beach. Honestly, some of these resorts are so big. You could stay at a beachfront resort and have the same walk as the Radisson. Room was huge as well as the balcony would much prefer to walk and have these awesome rooms.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel and will recommend to all of my friends who travel to Aruba. The look and feel of the hotel is perfect! It is within close proximity to everything you need. The beach is a five minute walk and a short two minute walk to Palm Beach shopping area.

Conveniently located. Plenty of options to eat nearby. The only inconvenience is beach access which is a walk or shuttle from the hotel.

Bra rum och storlek. Bra adress, nära allt.

It was a great location. Only a few mins walk from Beach and town. Beautiful pool, great room. Nothing to complain about

A little bumpy at check in when we were charged more than the contracted Hotels.com price. Supervisor, David, fixed the problem the next day with a credit. Kudos. The property is beautiful. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable. Main pool, children’s pool, hot pool and an infinity pool. The gym is spacious and well stocked. Fresh ice water is available in the lobby always. We ate at the infinity poolside restaurant and the food was amazing. The beach is one block from the Hotel so not a big deal. Getting a beach chair is on a first come first serve basis, but if you get there early you will get chairs. All the staff was friendly and helpful. The hotel is located walking distance to numerous stores, restaurants and cafes. One issue we had was the noise emanating from the locals racing motorcycles on the street behind the hotel at all hours of the night. The local government needs to address that.

Great location, clean and easy access to everything.

I loved everything about this resort. Staff extremely friendly, arranges taxi for you, happy hour at the bar by the pool, cleanliness, on the strip with all the entertainments and eateries, 2-3 min walk to Palm Beach (hotel provides transportation), numerous pools including rooftop pool for adults only with good restaurant and amazing customer service. The only thing my husband and I didn’t like was the fact it advertise and read on the beach, however, it’s not, it’s close to the beach, walking distance close to the beach. Still doesn’t justify the fact for them to claim they are on the beach.

The Radisson Blu Aruba is Amazing! Absolutely beautiful property. Great location. Within walking distance to everything. The room was spacious and clean. The staff were friendly and accommodating. When we plan our next trip to beautiful Aruba, we will be staying at Radisson Blu. Highly recommended!

The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was great. The landscaping was beautiful. Loved the infinity pool. the sunrise restaurant was not good and it was overpriced. the clover was good but also overpriced. The street to the beach needs improved.

Everything was great, except that we didn’t know that restaurant downstairs closed. We were at that hotel before and enjoyed that fancy restaurant. Oh well we enjoyed or stay anyway

Well located, easy to use. Nice pools and hot tubs. The clover coffee bar is outstanding. We would return.

The hotel has subcontracted out their food and beverage service. You are directed to their 3rd floor resturant. It overlooks an infinity pool with a lovely view. The food is something similar to prison food at top notch prices. Compared to a Motel 6 breakfast, the Motel 6 is fine dining. Breakfast if you can call it that, includes eggs made with Egg Beaters, tastless bread and the most scimpy buffet possible. If they can ruin it, they have already thought of it. Although, if you ask in the hotel where to eat, conveinently they forget to mention that there is a wonderful independant coffee shop 5 feet from the front door.

I vacationed here with my sisters, two bedroom two bath was great. Plenty of room for us to be together. While not directly on the beach it is within walking distance to everything. Or they do provide a shuttle to the beach. Everyone of the staff is very friendly and helpful. If you need anything just ask. Dining options here are not the greatest, i found it to be expensive and not that tasty. Plenty of great places to eat nearby.

Easy check, welcoming, friendly service, beautiful grounds, relaxing pools, guest oriented. Right in the middle of the action and an easy stroll or ride to the beach. Food was great and wonderful staff.

Staff was very friendly. Rooms were great and bed very comfortable. Only downside is bar closes way too early

I had a great time in this hotel. The staff are the best, all of them very friendly and welcoming, especially the receptionist Joffre, who helped me a lot. He knows the best places to eat! The pools are fantastic and the hotel is just a shot walk from Palm Beach, which is amazing. The breakfast buffet is exceptional. My stay at Radisson Blu was memorable. I highly recommend this hotel. I hope to come back soon.
