The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba

The entire resort was a "10," as I expected it to be since it's the Ritz Carlton! I asked for an upgrade, and they happily upgraded me for almost double my initial reservation. I found the business side of the vacation frustrating and a little shady. I was promised select upgrades for being on the concierge floor, which I only got because I complained bitterly. I was asked if I wanted the same seating every day, but on multiple occasions, my seating was given away to someone else. I was told I had select seating at the pool, and the seating was the worst seat on the beach. Lastly, I was told my resort fees were not going to be charged to me since I paid for this big upgrade, but I was charged about $101 additional each day. I had to get management involved to compromise and split the difference between them.

Best location on Palm Beach. Beautiful and serene pool for adults. Spacious room. Friendly pool waitstaff. Delicious ice cream!

The room was very spacious, as well as the entire hotel layout. The service was incredible and food at the hotel was very good, including even lunches at the Madero Pool Grill. We took advantage of the snorkeling equipment, paddle boards, kayaks and floats that were all offered free for guests.

great location and the hotel is out of this world. the hotel grounds and pools are amazing and the beach is stunning. I can't say anything bad and would defo stay again if I was going to Aruba again. ****** amazing

The staff was too notch , they couldn’t do enough
