Just got back from Aruba trip and stayed at Renaissance Marina and loved it. Our rooms were clean and seemed to have been renovated fairly recently. The bathtub did have chips in it but it was clean, the bathroom was a normal size for a hotel. I read many reviews from people who though it was to small but it... More

The weather in Aruba is perfect for a retreat from the cold, January temperatures in New Jersey. We chose the Renaissance Marina for the perfect getaway spot. • We absolutely loved the private island! Taking the boat over to the island was a quick trip. The water was gorgeous and the beaches were spotless. I loved that it was Renaissance... More

This is the second time we have been to this resort. Love the private island. Rooms are good for the price and the food quality is excellent. Service is okay.

In the Blue lounge particularly, the staff is great. I want to single out Nelson and Sujeiry for their excellent service and mention... More

We travelled with 3 other couples - never been to Aruba before. We chose this resort based solely on price, as Aruba can be expensive - got a good deal through the internet, about $200 more than Jamaica last year in Runaway bay, which I thought was a good deal. People are very friendly and helpful, country is safe and... More

Let me start by saying we are not difficult to please. I hand out 4 & 5 stars all the time and vacation twice per year for past 10 years. This was by far the most disappointing. Service was non existent and I suspect this is because tips are always baked into the bill. We literally receivef service on the... More

You just can't beat the location. Lots to see and do plus a private island. This is the place to stay if you don't have a car but still want some of your own space on the beach. We love to watch all the activity in the harbor. The daily ride to the island gives you a chance to ride... More
