The hotel was everything we expected. The guest services were outstanding and everyone was very helpful. The beach and pool options were the best we have ever had at a resort. The room was very nice and any issues were addressed the same day. The people at the hotel and on the island were very friendly and always helpful. I will make this a primary location for vacations in the future.

Date of Stay: April, 2007
We were very disappointed with the ocean suite rooms. Our rooms had mold, mildew and ants. And the staff could care less. The only thing we liked about the resort was the private island and lg smiths restaurant. I can't believe this resort was given 4 stars!
 
From: jason s., Charlotte NC US
Date of Stay: February, 2007
Be aware that this is not a beachfront hotel...it is in town and has cruise ships parked in front of it all of the time. It was ok but I beleive that most people would like to be on the beach and I was under the impression that we would be. The private island is nice but a little hectic to make the boat ride to. Watch your money in the Casino here because they are not recording the action and you have to make them pay you....I will visit Aruba again but will book at one of the beachfront resorts.

Just came back and was not happy w/ this hotel. The private island was not nearly as nice as palm beach, and there was not enough shade or seating by the pools. Oh yeah, don't even bother going to the ocean suites side, they have no shade, uncomfortable chairs, the pool is lousy and they trucked in sand so you could pretend to be at the beach. Go to something on palm beach instead.

We just spent 8 days at the marina hotel and actually thought for our money that we preferred it to the ocean suites. Food, service and everything else was incredible. They treat you well and are extremely friendly, then aruba doese the rest. Stay at this hotel!

My husband and I just came back from our trip to Aruba. We stayed at the Rennissance Resort and Casino. The hotel is beautiful. Our room was a nice size and was decorated in cool beautiful colors. The food at the resturants was the best of all the Islands we're visited. We loved the surprises that we were given to us upon our arrival.

We stayed at the Marina. THe other Renaissance hotel was geared towards families.Here are some things to consider: the rooms are small but nice, the bathroom is REALLY small, the shower in our room was in need of updating. There is a really weird smell (like fish) when you enter the lobby area. I have bad allergies and it bothered me every time I was in the lobby. Seems like they try to hide the smell by spraying toxic cleaning chemicals. Private island is amazing but on first day we got bitten by bugs really badly- BRING BUG SPRAY just in case.

My wife traveled with another couple and stayed at the Marina towers. Both couples are in our late 20's and we had a blast. The boat picks you up in the lobby and takes you to the private island. Not crowded at all and very relaxing. Water is calm almost like a lagoon. Everything is walking distance, shopping, restaurants, bars. The Marina Casino is 24 hours and table games are 24 hours.Pool at Marina is awesome with hardly no kids. THe ocean suites pool is larger with a swim up bar but more kids.

Perfect location & loved the nightlife. Only Renaissance has the 24 hour open casino & the pay-out is awesome.

Our stay at the Renaissance Marina was a very pleasant one. The location is just right and staff is very courteous and helpful.

Date of Stay: May, 2006
My fiance and I stayed at the Marina Towers. We are in our mid 30's and had a great time. The hotel pool and bar were great. We were right downtown and close to everything. The private island was heavenly, not at all crowded. We went to the highrise section of Palm beach and it is so crowded. There wer about 3 kids at the Towers which was nice. The Ocean suites is more suited for families. 2 for 1 happy hour from 5-7. I will definitely return to the renaissance marina towers. Make sure you go on the Kukukanuku party bus-ask for Mama and her gang!

Aruba was beautiful and affordable. The hotel and service was fabulous. The people of Aruba were wonderful.
 
From: Becky F., Menomonee Falls Wi Usa
Date of Stay: July, 2007
This hotel was great. The beds were extremely comfortable and the pillows were the best I have ever slept on. I have never slept so well on vacation. I never even knew we had neighbors because you never heard noise from outside. If you want a good nights sleep and want to enjoy your vacation, stay here.

Renissance Island is nice, but take bug repelant. I loved the location near downtown and resturants and casinos.

We have been visitng the Renaissance Aruba for 5 years. It is our favorite place ever. Great food, beaches, shopping, casinos and generally everything you would want on vacation. Fantastic for health, and relaxation while wonderful nightlife!

The private isldand is beyond belief. White sand beach and plenty of lounges to relax in. The fish actually circled around you in the water and you could see them real clean and the pelicans diving for the fish was something to see.
