I dont think you can go wrong either way. They bth have excellent reputations. I would personally pick the Riu only b/c it is all inclusive and I love all inclusives--then going out to dinner once or twice. Also, if you eat meat you should def. go to El Gaucho --best steak place ever!

The Marriott is all inclusive also. It's a special package. We def want to do all inclusive and then want to check out some restaurants during the week. Thanks! I really want to try El Gaucho. I keep hearing about it!!
I chose the RIU only because the Marriott was so far off the strip. Otherwise, when I was there we stayed at the Renaissance, which was right in the middle of town. It was great!
We are staying at the Marriott because my parents are giving us a week of their timeshare. Ive stayed in dozens of marriotts around the country and they are always fabulous!! I heard only good things about the one in Aruba, so hopefully its great!
We stayed at the Riu for our 1 year anniversary. It was VERY nice.....but the only bad part about it was that you had to go to the main lobby by 9:30am to make dinner reservations for the restaurants. The pool was AMAZING!
we are staying at the Riu--I've only heard good things, and from the pictures, it looks amazing! So, we'll see what happens....
