"This is my second time at the Hyatt airport and wouldn’t stay at any place else love the convenience and the place is very clean and the buffet style breakfast is great."

"We visited the Divi All-Inclusive in early October of 2024 and had such a good time that we came back 6 weeks later. It’s a great resort as it has many dinning options, excellent beach and great entertainment at night. It’s hard to find anything negative about the resort but my only gripes are with all the smokers especially the cigar people who have no regard for the people around them. The resort should ban all smoking anywhere on the premises. Also the music at the main pool during the day is way too loud. We will be going back again. "

"Loved the upgrades made. Would like to see the entertainment stepped up a bit more. There needs to also be more music during the day and more activities as well."

"This was our first trip to Aruba, and the Rio Palace was an absolutely beautiful place to stay. The resort is spacious and welcoming, with every staff member making you feel right at home. We stayed in the all-inclusive section, where meals and drinks were part of the package. While my wife and I don’t drink, so I can’t comment on the quality of the cocktails, I did notice plenty of French champagne bottles floating around! The food, however, was exceptional. We were always impressed by the variety offered at every meal. The location of the resort is fantastic—situated in a great part of the island with plenty of entertainment nearby, including restaurants, other resorts, and a ton of activities. Before visiting Aruba, we were frequent guests in Turks and Caicos. Now, we’re torn between the two destinations because each has its own unique vibe. That said, Aruba definitely impressed us with its charm. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone considering a trip to Aruba. It was an unforgettable experience!"

"Like the hospitality most from maids to bartenders.. food was a bit dissapointing but there were enough choices if you didn’t like something you could get something else. "

"The staff in all aspects were very helpful, polite, cheerful, making our stay great look forward coming back in future."

"The people are ever nice."

"Omar (concierge) went above and beyond in assisting my husband and I during our visit. He was very personable, provided great dining suggestions, and very hospitable! Our room attendant, Marta Luz, was equally wonderful! She made sure we had what we needed during our stay, and if we were moving a bit slow, she circled back around to our room. Our room always smelled and looked so clean when she serviced it. The staff at the resort are really customer-service oriented. They are great conversationalists and even during challenging times (2 flights were canceled and customers stayed at Embassy Suites), they maintained a smile and worked with the customers in a very dignified manner. It was amazing to observe. Great work Embassy Suites Team!!"

"2nd time staying there love this hotel going back again next year "
