The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba

The Best Hotels in Aruba—Luxe All-Inclusives, Beachfront Retreats, and Cozy Boutiques | Condé Nast Traveler

"The old adage of getting what you pay for rings true—while it may be a splurge, it’s an unforgettable stay. The rooms are quiet, the beds are comfortable, and in my opinion, this is the best stretch of beach on the island. If you’re looking for luxury, this is top of the line. Guests in the 320 spacious, chic rooms can expect to be spoiled: servers cruise the shore on Segway scooters with trays of tropical cocktails, the concierge secures sold‑out reservations and off‑site tours, and the 15,000‑square‑foot spa is among the island’s largest and best. On‑site restaurants are simply divine, and the vibe is upscale without being stuffy, with guests in elevators side by side wearing pool towels and Prada." - Jacqueline Dole
