The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba

I’m a loyal Ritz Carlton client and I am only leaving this review for Aruba Ritz to get better. 1st day I came staff by the pool was very good but as the days went by seemed to be lacking in performance. The spa was ok I wasn’t crazy about it definitely for the heavy price tag ( keep in mind I’ve been to 5 other ritz Carlton’s ) The main thing that got me upset is at casa nanna the restaurant down stairs made under cooked food not once but twice. On top both of sons age 2 and 2 got sick from the spaghetti and meatballs and was throwing up all night. I’ve mentioned this to the staff. And it seemed like they didn’t know what to tell me or how to fix the problem they changed me room ( that was the same room set up different number) and basically was all they can do. Then 2 nights later I ordered room service a got a brownie with ice cream and I got sick myself and was throwing up all morning right before I had to get on a 5 hour flight back home. I usually leave a short and great review for people to read and always recommend the Ritz Carlton to everyone but this was not held to the brand Reputation and I hate that I have to leave a review like this.

Room was always clean — the turn down service is what I looked forward to. The food was fresh and delicious — prepared and served efficiently. Staff were incredible — white glove service everywhere you were and everyone was so happy and good vibes.

We did not get a free breakfast, we’re charged. Breakfast was very good but for price some things on hot buffet were cold &

Dinner at BLT was excellent, great exec room facing the ocean. Very pretty. Beach front was well maintained and controlled for being service orientated for drinks and food. Room was big and comfortable as was the king bed. Things were clean and we saw and experienced good roaming security so we felt safe. The ritz might be a bit more in price but well worth the experience staying in Noord versus in the town of Oranjestad. The big cruise boats unload thousands of people and the streets parking and hotels are packed. Better to stay north and have a private beach.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing! We truly loved every moment of our stay at the Ritz. The hotel is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is absolutely fantastic. Every staff member was kind, attentive, and made us feel special. The rooms were spotless and luxurious, and every detail was perfect. We can’t wait to come back — highly recommend to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience!

Cleanliness, High level of service by the entire staff. Ultimate Hotel for our intimate Wedding /Honeymoon. Their wedding planner Naomi made our Special Day magical!

I had no issues with anything. The one thing that stood out was the property. Beautiful hotel.

The staff was great don’t need updating worn out carpet, dirty grout not what I would expect

We had some great pool and beach servers, Jean Carlo, Smily and Brandon were fantastic and we visited them almost every day for our week on property. Despite being in an executive suite, the room unfortunately had some shortcomings with hair on the carpets and we found a pretty large bug. With a 7 month old on our trip we spent time on the floor playing. The hallways also needed a pretty good vacuum. Overall we had a good trip and the location, staff and amenities were good for our trip with a child.
