• The staff were incredible-very accommodating and kind and considerate.
• The rooms at the marina hotel and the pool at the marina hotel.

“When we checked in to the Marina Renaissance, I was very disappointed. The pool overlooks the road that is busy with cars all day long. The bedroom was small and cramped, and the view was an alley with construction going on. When I asked to change hotel, the management were very accommodating and seemed to genuinely care about our comfort. We loved the Reanniansce beach resort. The suites were large and must have been recently remodeled. The bedding was luxurious, and there was a balcony with an ocean view. The restaurant staff were very nice as were all the staff. I cant wait to go back. The weather was great, the pools very nice, the casinos were fun, etc. It was a great property and will definitely go again to the Renaissance Beach resort. Thanks you.”

• Loved the private island.
• Our room was on the street side and we could not leave the slider open at all to enjoy the breeze.

“Very nice. Staff was absolutely great! They did everything they could to make it very enjoyable.”

• I liked that the hotel had the only private beach in Aruba
• There were long lines for the onsite tour company representative.

“The hotel was located in "Downtown" Aruba. The room was nice and all rooms have sliding glass doors that opened (no balcony). The hotel food was good and there were restaurants onsite as well. The hotel has the only 24 hour casino on the island. The highlight for us was the hotel has their own "island" there is a boat that will pick you up in the lobby and will take you on a 10 minute boat ride to their beach. The beach has a adult only side and family friendly side. The adult side was very quiet and we ended up staying on the family side. We didn't have any problems with noisy children it just seemed to be more livelier. Just note that if you would like to take a tour see if you can call the DePalm Tours representative onsite before you go. Many of the tours were sold out when we were there. A lot of cruise ships (which dock near the hotel) fill up many of the tours offered. We had a great time and would recommend this hotel.”

• The location was excellent. The boat ride to their private island really made the visit to this hotel very special.
• The bathroom sink water was not cold, and the shower water was not hot.

“The hotel has a lovely pool area and deck that accommodates those who want sun or shade. The bar is very conveniently located alongside the pool. The rooms are small adequate and clean, but not luxurious.”

• It's all about the private island!
• Service sometimes slow. But that's Aruba.

“I have stayed in this property before. I like the option of two locations - one for families and one for adults without children. It's a great one stop, luxury location, shopping, spa, etc.”

• Great location, nightlife diversity. Renaissance island ¿ beautiful.
• Perhaps not the most suitable hotel for families, although the ocean suites side of the hotel is great for kids.

“Great hotel, excellent staff and services. The best feature is the private island with its wonderful Nature and lagoon beaches. For adults, the location is absolutely perfect, being located right in the centre of ornamented offering a lot of options for nightlife entertainment. There is a video-clip of the hotel to be found at: http://www.enjoycaribbean.com/default.asp?v_item_id=663.”

• The quality of the facilities was numerous uno.
• Rooms could have been anywhere. No "view" except of inner courtyard.

“Excellent facility, very convenient, nicely appointed in-room and premise amenities. Well located. Beautiful swimming pool. Overall, better than above average for a property within a bustling town.”

• Private island.
• Location; room assignment; employees.

“This hotel is in the heart of downtown across from the harbor. The private island is beautiful, as are the common areas. Unfortunately, the staff is mediocre. Smallest room in the hotel with a view facing the interior atrium without any sunlight. Although the hotel was at low occupancy, my request to change rooms was denied. ”

• Private island with adult side and pink flamingos, boat in lobby, lg smith restaurant with great service.
• No hot water for 2 days in shower. Room across from laundry room. Noisy in the morning.

“Loved the private island and boat that was in the lobby to take you there. Location is right next to shopping area which is a plus for teens. Not near the beach but island makes up for it. Flies seem to take over the food area at the restaurant on island. There was no hot water for our entire stay in shower. Room right across from laundry room and close to ice machine. Customer. Still felt that for the price it was worth it. Could have gotten it for 75 dollars more through hotel and would surely have gotten a better room.”

• Location, friendly staff, variety of amenities, private island with beaches and a spa
• Room temperature needed adjusting by maintenance.

“Overall a very nice resort with a pleasant, helpful staff and facilities and amenities to satisfy everyone. The tower hotel and beachfront suites are both great places to stay. I would definitely recommend the renaissance.”

“Great for couples and business travelers. Renaissance at the beach would be better suited for most families. Great overall experience for anyone.”

• Great private island for hotel guests only.
• The hotel is in downtown, and thus there is some street noise that filters in the windows.

“Great views of the wonderful Arabian sunset. The hotel offers a nice pool and bar right in the center of downtown Aruba. While the hotel is not directly on the beach, it does offer something better to all hotel guests - its own private island. With water shuttles departing the hotel every 10-minutes, this island is convenient, beautiful and not crowded.”

• Very close to downtown restaurants, shops, and casinos. Choice of two very nice pools.
• Views from room not great and traffic noise bothersome some nights. A little too far from beaches but the Renaissance private island beach was nice.

“Nice hotel, disappointed at no ocean view from most of the rooms. Too far from most beaches, would rather stay further north on island near the high or low rise hotel areas.”
