    We were celebrating our 50 wedding anniversary and the staff was exceptional! Our waitress was extremely attentive but not intrusive. Our “mixologist” was fun and made an excellent dirty martini. Will definitely come back.

    I found the service excellent. However, the food temperature was barely warm ( definitely not hot). I also prefer when ordering wine by the glass to have it poured from the bottle, in front of me; it is brought to the table in a carafe this restaurant.

    First time dining at Ruinas Del Mar at the Aruba Hyatt and it will not be our last. One of the finest dining experiences we’ve had since we have been coming to Aruba since 2019. Notwithstanding the fantastic meal and top notch service, the ambiance and surroundings were absolutely beautiful. Ruinas Del Mar easily makes our list of must go to restaurants while we’re on Our Happy Island!

    The atmosphere and food was amazing. We sat outside and had a great view of the sunset. I ordered the grilled Red Snapper and prawns- so delicious and perfect portions. My son order Grilled Mahi-mahi with truffle fries, he ate every last bite. Our table was by the koi pond and it was so nice to see all the beautiful colors of the fishes. Service was exceptional, all the staff was attentive and friendly. The prices are high but for the view, food and service, it was worth it.

    We could not have been more pleased with the food/service at Ruinas Del Mar… Fernando our server was most accommodating and engaging. We had a delightful evening by the Koi pond and the fountain, which made the sunset dining experience even more special. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his grilled octopus appetizer, the filet mignon was delicious. We cannot say enough about the staff and the ambience. Thank you so much for a very special evening.

    Everything was lovely though there were children on the rocks outside, I’m assuming it was part of a pool, screaming at each other. That somewhat put a damper on the ambiance.

    The ambience was great,very beautiful. But the food and service was disappointing. The soup was too salty and doesn't taste like I used to, was disgusting. As well the main menu was tasteless! As well they served our food but forget our toddlers food to serve! This was the worst food I ever had!

    The restaurant is absolutely beautiful. Fantastic ambience. Our server was great. We started off with the Greek feta salad. Basically all I had was cucumbers, some type of nut and feta. Kind of boring. I got the tenderloin and that was supposed to be medium rare. It came out probably medium well. The other person got fettuccine that was definitely not homemade it was flavorless. Go to the ambience. food is definitely second.
