Noord Resorts

"We love the Radisson Blu in Aruba. This was our second stay there. We were on the 11th floor with a direct view of the ocean and beautiful sunsets. This hotel is one row back from the water so it’s in close proximity to the beach, restaurants, nightlife and shopping, but is a little less noisy. Our pool area was amazing, beautifully landscaped and has a tiki bar with yummy drinks and a happy hour. We rented a car from the airport at Sunset car rentals which was very easy. We also grocery shopped on our way to the hotel at the Super Food plaza, which was on the way, to buy essentials, snack foods, breakfast items, and beer and wine. There was a large refrigerator, a microwave, coffee maker, and tea kettle in our room. The staff at the Radisson Blu are so friendly and attentive. Everyone was very helpful. The only reason that I didn’t give the Radisson Blu five stars this time was because our shower was not working properly. The shower head leaked and we had poor pressure, but they started working on the problem as soon as we reported it. We will definitely go back to Radisson Blu."

"The ocean was visible from our room even though i asked for resort overlooking to save $$"

"Upon arrival at the Riu, we quickly realized something was off. Our first room had clearly not been cleaned properly—dirty floors and stains on the bedding were immediately noticeable. To their credit, the staff moved us to another room quickly, but unfortunately that room also wasn’t clean. We were then moved to a third room, which at least had the room type and view we had expected from the start. However, it still was not properly cleaned and even had hair in the shower drain. At that point we elected to just settle in rather than continue moving rooms. The hallways and common areas appear very worn and poorly maintained. Carpet tiles are peeling up, elevator surrounds are coming off the walls, and stains are visible in many places. There was also a strong, unpleasant smell in the hallways throughout our stay that gave the impression there may be a larger moisture or mold issue in the building. We also had ongoing issues with our room keys. They rarely worked properly, often requiring 10 or more swipes or a trip back to the front desk to have them reprogrammed. The staff often seemed frustrated or disengaged. To be fair, it felt like they were dealing with a constant stream of guest complaints, which likely makes their jobs difficult. Overall, the property appears to be struggling with basic housekeeping and maintenance, which made the stay disappointing"
