Another incredible stay at The Ritz-Carlton Aruba, and somehow it continues to raise the bar every time we visit. What keeps bringing us back is the combination of impeccable service, beautiful surroundings, and the feeling that every member of the team genuinely wants you to have the best vacation possible. The resort strikes the perfect balance between luxury and relaxation. We especially love spending our days on the quiet, peaceful beach, and every meal is something to look forward to thanks to the outstanding dining options throughout the property. One of our favorite traditions is ending each evening at the casino. It’s become a highlight of every trip—not just because of the excitement, but because of the people who make it such a fun and welcoming place to be. A special thank you to casino manager Rino Kuiperi and the entire casino team for making every night memorable. Their hospitality, attentiveness, and genuine friendliness create an atmosphere that keeps us coming back night after night. Whether it was checking in on us, making sure everything was running smoothly, or simply making us feel like valued guests, they consistently went above and beyond. The Ritz-Carlton Aruba continues to be one of our favorite places in the world. Between the exceptional team, the tranquil beach, the incredible restaurants, and evenings filled with fun at the casino, every visit leaves us counting down the days until the next one. We can’t wait to be back.
Excellent! Great location within the tourist area along Palm Beach but away from the main strip allowing for quiet and less congestion but walkable access to fun and Tres Trapi Beach! The staff was absolutely amazing! Staff was very friendly and seemed happy to be working and serving the guests. - I hope the management/owners appreciate the hard working staff and their dedication. The staff made our vacation memorable and definitely the reason we want to return! Hotel Restaurant:BLT Steak was amazing! The hotel Spa (Massage therapist Albert and team) were amazing and helped me enjoy my birthday)!
Great Casino and Bingo Experience Casino and Bingo are offered on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The Sunday event is especially popular with locals. We arrived promptly at noon for the early buy-in, but most of the “good seats” were already reserved by other players. Tip: If you plan to play on Sunday, aim to arrive around 11:15 a.m. to secure a good seat. Be sure to purchase the stamp markers along with your 10-game bingo card when you go up to the cashier. Free non-alcoholic beverages and snacks are available throughout the games, and there are raffle prizes for lucky ticket holders. It was a fun and lively event — our first time playing bingo in a casino — and we really enjoyed it! Overall, we had a great experience at this casino during our stay at the RC as we frequented it a few other times during our trip.
This is the best place to play in Aruba! They have a great variety of slots and table games, they have some great drawings, and the drinks are top shelf. Rino the host is the best. I have worked with him for 5 years and am never disappointed. He does what he says he can do and makes our stay 5 stars. Some trips we win big and some trips we lose a little. Sorayadia, one of the cocktail servers makes the best drinks, always has a smile on her face, and could not be more sweeter. She greets us by name, with a nice welcome back hug every time we are there. The Gentlemen and Ladies that work at the Ritz Carlton truly make this one of the best places on aruba! If you are visiting Aruba and looking for a casino to play at, this is the place!
Great Hotel 🏨 walking distance from SSI dive shop. Antilla shipwreck from WW2 in 70 feet of water near shore. Great Island 🏝 to explore.
