"The old adage of getting what you pay for rings true here—while it may be a splurge, it will be 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, the Ritz is the top of the line. Guests who stay in the 320 spacious and chic rooms can expect to be spoiled. Servers cruise around the shore on Segway scooters, effortlessly balancing trays of tropical cocktails. The concierge can secure reservations for you at sold-out restaurants, set up offsite tours, and suggest itineraries for any kind of traveler. The 15,000-square-foot spa at the Ritz is one of the largest and best on the island, and the property's on-site restaurants are simply divine. The vibe is upscale without being stuffy, with guests in the elevators side by side wearing pool towels and Prada." - Jacqueline Dole
"A seafront resort with 320 rooms featuring a turquoise-and-yellow color scheme. Activities include windsurfing, catamaran sailing, and nature-based kids programs. Indoor amenities include a spa and a 24-hour gym." - Kathryn Romeyn, Devorah Lev-Tov
"Backed by the aquamarine waters of Palm Beach, the Ritz-Carlton Aruba’s 320 rooms are generously sized, with cheery turquoise-and-yellow color schemes and balconies overlooking the sea. Aruba’s north shore has famously white sand that squeaks under foot, swimmable water for all ages, and unobstructed trade winds from the eastern Caribbean that make windsurfing one of the must-do local activities." - Laura Dannen Redman
"This island's only luxury resort offers 320 rooms with oversized private balconies, a Club Level lounge, two swimming pools, a 15,000-square-foot spa, fitness center, and an unexpectedly classy 15,000-square-foot casino; the caring, anticipatory staff (referred to as 'Ladies and Gentlemen') and a full-service concierge help craft memorable, highly personalized stays. Families can take advantage of supervised kids' programs and on-site activities, while active guests can enjoy beachfront water sports, beach volleyball, golf nearby, and day trips around the island; a non-smoking boutique casino with 215 slot machines and 15 table games provides evening entertainment. The resort also houses seven world-class food and beverage venues and emphasizes high standards of service that encourage many visitors to return again and again." - AFAR
"A luxury Palm Beach resort with 320 generously sized rooms in cheerful turquoise-and-yellow palettes and ocean-view balconies, offering upscale leisure from poolside cabanas to catamaran sailing and diving lessons; indoor amenities include a spa focused on island-inspired treatments using local aloe and divi-divi tree oil and a state-of-the-art gym that opens early, while dining includes four on-site restaurants (notably a BLT Steak by a well-known chef) and options for highly curated experiences like private sunset dinners on the beach with a serenading violinist." - AFAR Editors
