You should have access to this from your airline confirmation.
Yes! Remember passports can take several months to process, so please renew or purchase a new passport ASAP.
Women: A dress, suit, formal romper, or jumpsuit all work. Feel free to include prints, avoiding anything too loud. If you choose to wear a beachy dress, consider it in either tea-length or maxi to avoid looking too casual. Dressy sandals, chunky heels, and wedges are acceptable footwear options. Men: Consider a breathable fabric such as linen, khaki, or seersucker. While a jacket isn’t required, a breathable sport coat or unique blazer is a fun addition. Feel free to include prints, avoiding anything too loud. Shoes can be a little more casual, but still need to be closed-toe, such as a loafer or deck shoe. Shorts and sandals are not permitted.
Weather permitted, the wedding ceremony will be on the beach. The reception will be indoors.
Due to the resort requiring a high percentage of guests to be staying on site, we do ask that you stay at the Riu Palace Aruba (wedding hotel) or Riu Palace Antillas (sister hotel next door) on at least Thursday, Friday, and another night (3 night minimum) to avoid the resort from denying your attendance. If you extend your vacation feel free to explore the other resorts on the island! *we will be staying at Hotel Riu Palace Aruba
There is a minimum requirement of a 3-night stay. We hope you can make this a vacation for yourself as well as a celebration with us!
To ensure ample time for flight delays and unplanned travel hiccups, please plan to arrive by the end of day Thursday, April 13, 2023.
As soon as you can so rooms do not fill up! You have the option to pay for your room at the time of booking or at the resort, so booking early should be a priority as you must stay at a Riu Hotel to attend the wedding.
Currently, rates for April 2023 at the Riu Palace Aruba are around $345 per person per day (with a minimum of 2 people per room). Depending on the length of your stay prices will vary. You can also save 10% on your stay if you sign up for the Riu Class Rewards program!
The Riu is all-inclusive, which includes all food, drinks, and resort entertainment. You can purchase extras such as spa services and excursions, however there are many other options for you to enjoy without spending extra!
