This hotel is centrally located between the marina and main street. The main shopping street down town Oranjestad. An upscale mall is part of the hotel complex. The main street area is currently at the final stage of a major renovation but is going to be absolutely beautiful. This did not bother our stay at all. The opposite happened; can't... More

We just returned from a wonderful vacation in Aruba. We went there last year with another couple and loved it so much that we returned again this year. Both times we stayed at the Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino. I once read that happiness is a path or a journey, not a destination. This past week we experienced a fun... More

The Renaissance Aruba is really two different hotels with two different personalities. That's a good thing, because there is really something for everyone. A beach, private island, cool adult-only pool, casino, and lots of things to do. One hotel is on the beach, appears a little bit older than the other one, and has suite-like rooms with separate bedrooms from... More

I have mixed emotions about staying here. Check in went well at the Marina but the pictures on the website make the room look better than it is. The room is okay but the bathroom sucks. The tub is like 5 colors and 50 years old. Oh yeah it also smells like mold. We changed rooms three times in three... More

Off the Marina in the heart of downtown a walk away from the top places to shop. VERY CLEAN! One can practically eat off the floors. Everywhere you turn something is being wiped, sprayed, shined or polished. The hotel is beautiful with an indoor outdoor decorum. The rooms are currently being updated. The bathrooms could be a little bigger. The... More

Wife and I stayed in the middle of January! Weather was great. The room was recently updated there was plenty to do. Make friends with the bartenders! Wherever you are in the world they are tuned in to the places to go or be. Raphie at BLU is the man!!!! Everywhere he told us to go was great and always... More

A unique place in Aruba. Going up the escalators through the renaissance mall is fun, seeing some of the room windows inside whilst walking through the mall is fun, the pool looks chique and has a certain charm you'd expect in Cannes. The Palm Island is a nice bonus.

My husband and I stayed at the Renaissance Resort...."ocean suites". There are 2 locations down the street from each other, so you should be aware that there is a difference, only in "atmosphere" and surroundings. There is the resort and casino, located in the "mall area" of Oranjestad, and the ocean suites down the street. Both are FABULOUS!! However, the... More

This was our first time in Aruba and we were really looking forward to experiencing all the great things we heard, unfortunately this hotel didn't provide it. On reservering the room they failed to mention that they were under renovations updating their bathrooms which they need because most of their tubs were corroded. On our arrival I had the pleasure...
