Thank you so much for watching.. we do have many other Aruba videos coming soon.

To answer your questions: 1. We used our credit card and no hold except the price of the rental for the time we had it.. make sure to ask about this as this may have changed.. better to know before you go. 2. The insurance was in the card we used, so no additional insurance was charged. No hidden fees! 3.i had an international phone plan, so I was able to use Google maps for navigation. 4. Most car rentals are by the airport, but they will pick you up… if you decide to rent from a car rental at your hotel, plan to spend more per day.. 5. The car rental company will drive you to the airport after your drop off the car.. We have used tropic car rental and also wheels2Go. Both very good and no hidden costs.. Let me know if you have any questions..

@ thanks 🙏🏽

No problem… we are happy to help

Aruba is super safe! We have no issues walking at night. We have never felt uneasy or like we were in danger.. I would still keep my stuff out of plain site but that goes with anywhere you would be.. I feel safer in Aruba than back at home..

@@PerpatowithNV wow thanks for the feed back, I really appreciate it & thanks again for posting this video, I showed my wife & she is willing to try this hotel you posted, keep up the good work !

Have a great time

Breakfast is Monday-Friday 7am-10am and Sat-Sun 7am-10:30am … we do have another full Embassy suites video on TH-cam. Check it out along with all our other Aruba videos that will give you an idea of restaurants and things to do

This is something we have not heard of happening… I would be very upset if that happened to us.

@ everyone that was affected were very upset, and we received an email from Riu afterwards that they aren’t prepared to give any type of refund

That is totally unexceptionable.. they are a large company that should take responsibility.. sorry this happened to you. We have never heard of this happening to anyone before

Yes all drinks are included along with all the food you can eat!

We never had an issue with finding seats around the pool.. they have so many seats and loungers.. it is one of our favourite pool areas in Aruba. Enjoy your trip!!!!!

@@PerpatowithNV thanks

Let me know how the trip goes and what you think of the Embassy Suites.

@@PerpatowithNV I will let you know. Thanks again for the information and video.

No problem

The cost of the rental was about $190 for seven days, everything included.. but price would depend on time of year… check the website as they do have specials some months..

Thanks for watching!

We appreciate your comment!

Parking in the city is with parking meter but along palm beach strip you can pay at some of the hotels or it is free if you are staying there or using the facilities or restaurant of that hotel. Check out our video on car rentals and we explain paid parking in the city

Of course you can walk to the beach and swim.. they have also recently set up palapas and chairs for guests…

The Embassy suites pool is amazing and very easy to get into with its wide steps and large size… plenty of space to play at this resort and the breakfast is really good

@@PerpatowithNV I'm going to try and go in May. I'm having hip surgery in 10 days and it will be a nice relaxing vacation. I went twice to Aruba this year but was barely able to walk with a cane. I stood at La Cabana Resort in Feb and The Ren in June.

You will find the Embassy suites a lot more relaxing than La Cabana resort.. A lot more space to more around.. we wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery

@PerpatowithNV Also the main pool at La Cabana will be closed in 2025 so the only option is a small Adult Pool and the beach. I like to alternate beach and pool.

I am sure you will have a great time

We really like the Divi Phoenix. The location and layout is great. Prices of all the resorts really depend on when you go. But the Divi resorts hotels are a great place to stay and play

We have videos on both resorts… the embassy suites is much newer and cleaner with a much nicer pool.. the breakfast is also better at Embassy suites… you can walk to the beach from Embassy suites and the strip of restaurants and shops is only a $7 cab ride or 15 minute walk.. we really liked the Embassy suites over the courtyard.. however the beds are very comfortable at courtyard.. our recommendation would be Embassy Suites… I hope that helps

@@PerpatowithNV thanks I appreciate you for responding 🫶🏿😃

No problem. Let me know if we can answer any other questions… I am sure you guys will have a great time

@@PerpatowithNV Thanks!!!! keep you posted

We would love to hear back about your trip.. keep in touch

Thank you for watching. Let me know if you have any questions. Make sure to check out our other Aruba videos and have a great time on your girls trip!

Thanks for letting us know.. feel free to put any of our videos as your end screen..

Thanks for watching! This was just a standard king room with an ocean view.. all the rooms are pretty much the same with a different view. Unless you get a suite that has a jacuzzi on the balcony.. this room we got was center building top floor..

Great to hear… make sure to check out our video on the Riu Antilles and some of our other Aruba vlogs.. let us know if you have any questions. We are happy to help

You would have to visit the hotels website to get prices. They do offer discounts throughout the year… thank you for watching …

Thank you for watching. I am happy you found the video enjoyable and informative… make sure to check out come of our other Aruba videos… and make sure to subscribe as we have many other videos coming soon..

The Riu Palace is a family resort. The Riu Antillas next door is the Adults Only resort. But you can use both resorts if you are over 18 years old, including the bars, pools and buffets..

Congratulations on your wedding!!!!! Thank you so much for your kind comments, we really enjoy making videos on Aruba.. Let me know if you have any questions about the island, we will help best we can

@@PerpatowithNV Thank you so much! I really appreciate it <3

No problem, we are happy to help!

You would need to book your Palapa on the app that they give you.. however you will need to do that early as they do book up fast..We will be doing a pros and cons video of this and some other resorts on Aruba, but they do take time to edit and put up on TH-cam… thank you for watching.

Most people just use credit cards to pay, however they do accept US dollars everywhere… you do not need to change to local currency (florins). We have always booked on our own. Check the website of the hotel and see if they have a promotion on, then check the airlines websites. You can usually get a better deal booking direct.. if the deal is still not good then try kayak, expedia, etc… if you are from Canada, you can also try sunwing… Let me know if you have any other questions, we are happy to help.

Thank you. I was also wondering if we need to bring an electrical adapter? Thank you

They are the same outlets that are in North America… so no need to bring adaptors if you are from Canada or the USA..

Thank you

No problem, we are always happy to help

Thank you for watching! Let us know if you have any questions.. we are happy to help

Great to hear you enjoy it at the Riu Palace.. location and convenience of all inclusive makes it a great place in Aruba.. thanks for watching

That’s when we are looking to travel. Went to RIU in Costa Rica.

How was the Riu in Costa Rica? We have never been.

@@lisaeckenrode9081 Booked! Nov 2-9

Great to hear!!!!!

Thank you for watching.. we really appreciate all the support.. the resort is nice but is starting to show its age… freezing cold water in the morning but by noon the pool was perfect temp..

Fantastic open air club.. lots of memories

They do not have a DJ by the pool. They do activities by the pool including aerobics, trivia games and they play music at those times..

December is a great time to go.

Thanks so much for the nice comment.. great to hear from you again

Have a great time!

The cake was very fresh. A great place to stop by… thanks for watching

Like, share and subscribe!

It is a casino and they do have many slots available.

Thank you for watching. Your comments mean a lot to us… we had a great time filming this video.

The location is what makes this hotel great..

You said it perfectly! Thanks for watching!

@@bbreeze11 thank you for watching. Make sure to subscribe, as we have many other Aruba videos coming soon

I agree !

Perfect

@@Costinga1 the holiday inn location is great but the resort is tired! Not a good bed in our opinion. The Eagle Aruba has good rooms, close to the grocery store and the beach is amazing, however you may need a car to go to the palm beach strip.. only thing holiday inn has is location

@@Costinga1 hello my friend. This was filmed end of December 2023.. we will have an updated video coming soon of the Eagle Aruba resort

@@diren54 enjoy your vacation. The hotel looks exactly as I recorded it. I make these walk through resort tours to show everything you would need to know.. we also have many other Aruba videos as well. Make sure to subscribe as we have many other videos coming soon.

@@PerpatowithNV ok thank you staying there next week helpful thx some stuff i didn know

@@diren54 send me a message when you come back and let me know how your trip was

@@PerpatowithNV yes shure bro 👍

Great.

We enjoyed the Embassy suites more than the Holiday Inn.. it is not hard to get over to the palm beach strip in the evenings.. $7 taxi ride… Embassy suites has free drink tickets every night for happy hour, which is good.. The holiday inn is dated and to tell you the truth, I did not care for the pool.. I would choose the Embassy Suites over Holiday Inn… which ever hotel you choose, you will have a great time. we appreciate you watching and supporting our channel..

@PerpatowithNV I really appreciate your perspectives! We are booked and I feel better with your feedback. Thanks again!

@@orlena3461 no problem, we love to help out… Have a great time!

@@StalinaCastro thanks for watching… and just to let you know, the courtyard has some of the most comfortable beds. Out of all the resorts we stayed at, it was the most comfortable..let me know if you have any questions… and also request a room as far from the big windmill as possible.. weekend party at the club there goes on until 5 am. Make sure to tell them that you saw our video..

@@SofiaMedeiros-j6r glad we could help. Congrats to the newlyweds. You will have a great time at the Riu Antillas and get ready for the White/Neon party on Friday night!

I have heard people having similar issues at the Riu Palace.. the resort is starting to show its age even though I know they did renovate some of the rooms.. the staff does try best they can but I know they are severely understaffed… other then the hotel, I hope you had a wonderful time in Aruba

I have heard very mixed reviews about Gianni’s lately. Many people say it is not worth the money… Patrizias is a very large restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.. I have personally seen groups of over 20 eating at one large table…

@@PerpatowithNV Thanks, Love your videos.

@@jjhi2760 thank you for your kind comment. Let us know if you have any other questions
