...From the cleanliness, location and to the staff and food, our experience was personable and outstanding...

...We got additional hospitality rooms with running water for our showers to use since my daugther loved the rooms Shem had given us and she did not want to move to the different location or the new rooms we were offered... Even with low tide when the private island boat could not leave from the lobby, they ensure the boat left at the same times at a location across the street...

...The location is convenient however a majority of the nightlife is in palm beach which is about a 5 minute drive and by taxi depending on the day can be $13-$15 each way...

...This luxurious resort has so much to offer …from the beautiful private island, excellent location, stunning views and delicious food...

This hotel was top notch and we loved everything from the location, cleanliness, quietness, beautiful views and the friendly staff...

...Location is close to airport but also 10-20 mins from popular restaurants like flying fishbone & madame janettes...

...The resort is beautiful, in a great location, so much to do and also adds the private island experience!...

...The Marina adults only hotel is right in the mid-downtown Oranjestad location and has their high end shopping mall on location...

...Have never traded off to go to any other location because you cannot get any better than Renaissance Ocean Suites in Aruba...

...Greeted with a smile and a refreshing lemonade (pretty sure with rum ;)) drink and ease of transporting us to our ocean suites location across the street facing the sea with crystal blue waters...

Location of the hotel is near airport, so you hear all day planes that come and go...

...The other benefit of the hotel's location is that you can walk to several fantastic restaurants...

...As seniors, we felt staying in Oranjestad was a good location, since it's close to the airport and didn't require a long drive... As requested, it proved to be in a quiet location and had a beautiful view of the marina... We enjoyed our location, since we could walk to many places easily, take the boat to Flamingo Island a few times, and enjoy the shops in the mall surrounding the hotel...

...Also you can see planes takeoff or land as this is close to airport The hotel location cannot be beat, heart of downtown, plenty of food options and the Dutch pancake house was good, Casa tua is also good...

...This hotel is in prime location in Oranjestad...

...We also liked the location with easy access to shopping and other restaurants...

...The location here is downtown within walking distance of everything...

...A+ for location, for sure, especially combined with the easy access to the private island, which was a highlight...

...I stayed on the beach side but I still had access to all the amenities at the other location, which is a very short distance across the street...

...What can we say, the staff, location, amenities, food, beaches, cocktails, everything was superb...

...Either local is great, the Marina adult only, is more party atmosphere but we could not hear the DJ music in out room and never had any disturbances throughout our stay...

...I stayed at the Marina (adult only) however I went over to the Ocean Suites a few times for the live DJ during happy hour and loved my experience over there...

...A man was playing a steel drum...

...The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great...

...Music played by DJ is louder than necessary, but it ended at 8 pm...

...The entire staff at the hotel made us feel like part of their family, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere... The combination of excellent service, the unforgettable Flamingo beach, and the friendly ambiance made our stay truly memorable...

...The lobby, pool area, and grounds are a tropical paradise...

...The staff are friendly, food is great and love the entertainment and environment...

...Palm Beach can be very windy and was especially so this last trip so the adult only Infinity pool was very welcome as it is sheltered from the wind while offering a really relaxing environment...

...Room was spacious with a super view , but if you want quiet early evenings take one facing inward as the DJ box is on the front of the hotel - music is good but can be loud!...

...If you get an ocean view room expect loud music from the pool from 5-9pm which means no afternoon naps!... This hotel felt more like a spring break hotel for adults...

...The only complaint I have is the music from 3 pm to 6 pm. It is way, way too loud and it is mostly Aruban rap and not the island vibe we are looking for... We love the sound of the birds and the wind, not this head banging "music"... They should save their money and forget the music...

...To make matters worse, since Renaissance Marketplace is right next to the property, music could be heard well past 11pm every night...

...Instead, we got a giant house party environment... We love dancing, but this environment was the worst after traveling all day and wanting to rest... We would have happily endured switching hotels and dealt with a family environment if it meant we could get easy access to the beach and true ocean views as advertised...

...Music wasn’t aloud so it created a more mature ambiance...

...Plus the crew on the ship was funny, served plenty of drinks, and kept the music playing...

...The rooms were beautiful and comfortable with plenty of storage, half sea view and half market place view from the balcony which allowed us to watch live entertainment nightly from our balcony as well the arrival or departures of cruises which was very impressive!...

We came for a lovely korean bbq at blue bar on the terrace with an amazing view, nice ambiance...

...I had a fantastic week in the town, all decorated for the holidays, plenty of restaurants, shops and lots of music...

...The lobby turns into a night club at night with music blasting...

...This hotel is in the heart of the downtown area with a lot of walkable things to do and see and eat... This property is definitely a great place to stay when you are in Aruba...

This hotel is situated downtown and is not far from the airport. We stayed in the marina hotel which is the adults only side ocean suites is the family side...

...The staff were exceptional, the only thing we did have trouble with was changing our room as we had asked for a sea view and when we called through they kept us on hold for ages so we gave up and had to go to the lobby to change rooms...

This beautiful Oceanside resort features newly refurbished large rooms with a living area, bedroom, bath and small studio kitchen...

...The base Marina room includes a king bed, a bathroom with wooden paneled sliding door, and no balcony... The Ocean Suites is much nicer, and it's priced accordingly... The rooms are larger and have balconies, the pool is bigger and has a pool bar, the outdoor restaurant is good, and there is a lagoon beach... Ocean Suites is dubbed the family option, but no matter who you are traveling with, Ocean is the better choice... However, do not choose the Island View rooms... This resort is frequently rated highly, but understand before booking which location and room option you are selecting...

...she made our room special every day with flowers and folded towels in different shapes and always had a smile...

...Our room was very nicely decorated and clean... The bathroom has a great shower, and there are comfortable storage places thruout the room...

We checked in at the Marina hotel yesterday for our honeymoon... Our room is ocean view (which is more like huge cruise ship/fishing boat view overlooking a mix of traffic from the main road and the pool)... So we had to close the doors and the blinds (no more ocean air or pretty views) and put air plugs in for some semblance of quiet... This morning we were awakened by noise from an adjoining room and cigarette smell wafting through the vent... We will be switching rooms to a downgraded “Island view” which is away from the pool and overlooks all the entertainment on the sister resort, but we were assured it would be quieter... We haven’t checked out the Island yet because we have to deal with changing rooms today, hopefully that’s a good experience...

...Their room stylists have helped tremendously by providing a clean, tidy and well equipped room Daily...

...We stayed as a couple on the adults only side... We never saw them all in use so I wonder if it really needs to be so crammed... We stayed 3 nights, the first day the room was haphazardly cleaned with dirty coffee cups and soap bar wrappers left behind... When we returned to the room at 3:30 we were shocked they hadn’t been there...

...The rooms are basic, the price doesn't even include breakfast, everything within their footprint is overpriced, they charge $5 for bottled water (which we did not touch but they charged anyway), and now I have a second charge that just hit my credit card three weeks later so now I have to dispute which is a hassle!...

...Greeting, check-in, room, service, cleanness, room, bathroom, everything...

...The beds were so comfortable and the resort has literally everything you could ever need...

...All in all, this stay exceeded expectations in every way possible: from impeccable service provided by friendly personnel throughout; comfortable rooms; rest time at the pool; excellent food options inside & outside; plus proximity to great attractions....the family truly enjoyed their 3 nights spent here at Wind Creek Curacao Resort & Casino —and would definitely come back again soon!...

...We stayed on the Marina side which offers an All Inclusive experience. The resort and rooms are beautiful and very well maintained... Rooms: The rooms are not overly big... Although there is a rain shower in the room the shower stalls themselves are very small and there are no tubs in the room...

...I highly recommend staying here if you’re looking into coming to Aruba...

...This hotel is in prime location in Oranjestad...

We stayed at the Marina hotel in an ocean view king for a week. It was a relatively standard Marriott experience - comfortable bed, clean enough, standard, decently updated room, with a few oddities... The room had a faint musty smell but not too bad... I wish the toilet/shower room had its own door, rather than just the single sliding door for the entire bathroom, because the kitchenette and only mirrors in the room were all behind that door... Our room looked out at the marina and had a lovely view...

...Room I was assigned at check in had noise that was unbearable. When I asked to have room changed desk manager stated that they had disclosed there was construction as some sort of excuse that it was acceptable... They then moved us to a room with leaking sink...

...We had a room with 2 double beds and the comfort of the beds led to a great nights sleep...

...The island makes this place special and you can sit on adults only or not it’s all very chilled and well priced ...

...We love the sound of the birds and the wind, not this head banging "music". They should save their money and forget the music...

...Renaissance Island is always a highlight of the trip and it's totally worth paying to reserve a private cabana...

...The Ocean Suites is much nicer, and it's priced accordingly... Prices in March were $300 for the 4 person cabana and $500 for the 6 person deluxe...

...As the cruise lines we ise don’t have much going to our islands of interest we decided to fly on points and picked the Renissance Wind Creek off the Marriott app... Lemieux, Jennifer and Adams were excellent !!!!!!!... We did rent a Cabana on the family side and that was very well worth the cost.. All in all we had a great time...

...The TV and other entertinament option in the room seem to be from the 1990's... If you are a family over 4 people, you will have to pay for 2 taxie for a 7 minute ride amounting to over $50.00... If you can get a good deal staying at this property, probably ok, but would not pay full rack price...

...And I assumed that you get what you pay for and for a price of more than $400/night, it fell short of everything... The rooms are basic, the price doesn't even include breakfast, everything within their footprint is overpriced, they charge $5 for bottled water (which we did not touch but they charged anyway), and now I have a second charge that just hit my credit card three weeks later so now I have to dispute which is a hassle!... There are ways to get to flamingo island without staying there... Save yourself the money and spend it elsewhere... I had rented a cabana (also expensive but it was for a birthday) and I think it's absurd that they don't allow you to take snacks... We also spent money on food and drinks while there so it's not like they lost out on anything but they really need to reevaluate that rule... Folks pay way too much to be nickeled and dimed with options that don't even taste good...

...This room has the WORST mattress in the WORLD. The outside 12" of the mattress is fine... The rest of this King mattress acts like a giant sink hole; you spend your night trying to fight your way out of quicksand lining this sink hole...

...If you prefer your own space you can book your own hut over the water and private service for a nice few $$...

...However, this time, we encountered way too many loud and obnoxious people, most of whom had the all inclusive package... Those of us who were paying as we go, prefer one or two good drinks rather than a bunch of mediocre ones... The resort should rethink the all inclusive option and leave that for the kiddie resorts...

...The pictures on the main hotel website is false advertising... If you enjoy natural light or fresh air do NOT book a suite... Also, even when you upgrade to an Ocean Suite room you won’t have a view unless you’re on the top 3 floors... I’ve stayed at Hyatt and other Marriott properties on the island and unfortunate I won’t return to Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort...

...Don't even get me started on the private beach! I highly recommend renting a cabana for a day, it was worth every penny...

...LG Steak House was an ok experience... Our waiter Paulo was nothing less than phenomenal... Yes having said that I would not recommend it during high season as I cannot see how you would ever get seating on the Island as chairs are limited and although hotel advertises it as a private island and make it sound like it is only open to hotel guests they also sell day passes to it...

...This year when I arrived on island, I was forced to stay at another property for a business meeting, but enjoying a cabana on their beach has always been a highlight out of our trip so I invested $450 to do that the day after I arrived... I got a call from the front desk to inform me that it would be $300 additional for the two of us to use the boat to get to the island on top of the $450 to use the cabana and facilities... Safe to say, I had to have a debate with staff and cancel that event, where the cabana was already over priced, but it was a pattern of habit I am a titanium elite Marriott rewards member with over 1350 nights stayed on Marriott resorts worldwide I have never been treated in such a way...

...During check-in on the first day, the front desk staff (I think his name was Robert) sold me a full-breakfast plan meant for Elite members ($20.5 per day) & told me that it included everything... Fast forward the week, during my checkout I found the "additional" charges from Fresco & again from Papagayo breakfast... When I came back home, I was shocked to see the charges reapplied... I have been asking for proof of refund and my emails are being escalated for 2 weeks but no resolution so far!...

After much research and reading many reviews, we decided on the Ocean Suites hotel vs the Adult Only Marina hotel... I booked the all-inclusive breakfast package which was well worth it... We would have been seriously disappointed if we booked the adults only marina hotel which has no balcony, limited views and is closed in... Room service menu and prices are the same as going to the restaurant which is a really nice feature to avoid walking all the way to the Fresco restaurant bar and back upstairs...

...They have food dispensers for flamingos and you need quarters, but the bar should give you quarters...

We booked our first 3 nights at this hotel since it is centrally located in Oranjestad at the heart of the town...

...When I got to the room the fridge was empty I called reception to say that there aren’t any beverages I’m the fridge to which the lady responded ‘we don’t stick our mini bars at all, I’m not sure why you were told this’ I asked her if she could send a sprite to my room as I’ve just arrived from a 9.5 hour flight, waiting over an hour to check in and am thirsty and her response was ‘I can send it via room service but you’ll have to pay as room service is not included’ complete utter joke and no regard to paying guests or customer service... Not sure if this is the way in which people in Aruba generally behave but if I return I definitely won’t stay at this hotel...

I really wanted to love everything about this resort but unfortunately was overrated... The other beaches outside of this resort were far more beautiful like Eagle beach (5-10 minute cab ride) with truly clear water, white sand, and not a single rock or pebble in the water... I would not recommend staying at this specific resort over other resorts in Aruba...

...Maritza Suarez did an incredible job keeping our personal space fresh and clean so every time we came back to the room it felt like we had just walked in for the very first time...

...It wowed us when we arrived in the lobby for check in the bellman immediately helped us with our luggage and handed us cold bottle water... The Renaissance is well maintained and exceptionally clean...

...This resort was well kept with beautiful grounds. The pool areas well maintained by Ronald he is testing the pool's everyday and around the pool, there's a lots of pool umbrellas...

If you go to Aruba and you have any interest in seeing flamingos, I would recommend staying at this very clean and modern hotel...

I’ve been going to the island for 30 years and Marriott definitely brought its game to improve this resort...

...Staying at the Renaissance is the best hotel among our 9 hotels this trip... Only one thing - try to clear the seaweed in flamingo beach..cannot really swim as there’s too much of it..other than that, we had a really good time in the resort...

This hotel was top notch and we loved everything from the location, cleanliness, quietness, beautiful views and the friendly staff...

...From our check in greeting from the valets (who are FANTASTIC and went above and beyond to make our stay easy), to housekeeping, room service and front desk, everything was seamless, easy and welcoming... So well maintained, gorgeous views, quiet and a perfect escape for those needing an island getaway...

...Specifically, this trip, Xiomayra Maduro, room attendant, went above and beyond the very difficult work of keeping visitor rooms shining...

...Big clean rooms, very comfortable... You have use of the combed beaches, water you can walk and wade in to a floating pier, take a hike on of of their paths where you can spot blue lizards, hermit crabs and birds...

...Maritza Suarez our housekeeper was such a pleasure as well. she made our room special every day with flowers and folded towels in different shapes and always had a smile...

...Joan, Claudette, and Petronila were diligent about keeping the pool bathrooms meticulous and picking up towels several times each day... Ketty and Johanna kept our rooms clean... Also, Luls, at the fitness center in the Marina portion of the hotel, kept the fitness center the cleanest we had seen it since we started visiting several years ago...

...A few shout outs to those that were extra special: Aidee Mercedes made sure our room was always clean and stocked with fresh towels for those much needed afternoon showers...

...Our room was very nicely decorated and clean... The bathroom has a great shower, and there are comfortable storage places thruout the room...

Laurente was the best housekeeper we have ever had at any of the resorts we have ever stayed at!... Her cleaning was always thorough and immaculate!... I wanted to take her home and have her be my house cleaner...

...Our room was beautiful, roomy, updated, clean, and bright. Housekeeping did a wonderful job each day keeping our room clean and giving us fresh linens...

...The grounds are well maintained and soothing... Extremely safe environment in the surrounding area Fresco, Aquarius, and L.G...

...After 7pm, there is no entertainment, however there are many restaurants in walking distance, in addition to the casino which is very clean... Food at Sole & Fresco are adequate, clean & delious... There is only one bar at Fresco, nothing inside the hotel lobby, room service was great since they can bring you glasses of wine, not in disposable cups...

...Washer/dryer in room, wash cloths with our hand and bath towels...

...Building and surrounding areas clean... Housekeeping even did our dishes when we left in a rush one morning (we did them after that, they have enough to do) We food shopped at Happy to Go food store a short walk away...

...The check in process was quick & easy. The housekeeping staff was wonderful, friendly & always did an excellent job... The FREE access to Flamingo Island was absolutely incredible (they have boats that go every 15 minutes & it’s a short ride over)...

...Absolutely amazing and incredibly friendly service... The front desk got us in touch w her right away and the visit was super easy and convenient (she came to our room)... After that excitement, the front desk knew us by name and asked how my kids were doing!... Amazing that they let you borrow floats and snorkel equipment for free on the island...

...I booked the all-inclusive breakfast package which was well worth it... Service is inconsistent throughout the hotel... The best service is at the Renaissance Island... It should not have taken 2 hrs to get our food, the bartender, JC knew it, realized after the fact, then apologized and gave us drink credit... Unfortunately, when this is the 1st experience, while waiting for your room, it does not leave a good taste in your mouth and not welcoming at all!... The pool service is directed more to the drinkers so they can generate tips... Thank you to the housekeeper, Juney who opened my door, after I forgot my key, apparently this is a "No, No," in Aruba hotels and many strict rules imposed on them... Honestly, the restaurant should be providing covers for your food, not your napkins which was annoying when you get up and find the birds are eating your food... There is only one bar at Fresco, nothing inside the hotel lobby, room service was great since they can bring you glasses of wine, not in disposable cups... Room service menu and prices are the same as going to the restaurant which is a really nice feature to avoid walking all the way to the Fresco restaurant bar and back upstairs... We would definitely return just to go to the Renaissance Flamingo Island and private cabana we booked ahead of time!...

...We stayed on the Marina side which offers an All Inclusive experience... They have a King sized bed with a small chair and foot stool unlike many resort that have a couch to allow guest somewhere to sit other than on the bed... The Evening buffet was equally as pleasing there is a fish station that offers a variety of freshly cooked fish and shellfish... The Lounge in the lobby also had a great variety of lunch foods and anything you wanted to drink... LG Steak House was an ok experience... We felt the server Andrey was very personable and will to do please us in any way he could... Our waiter Paulo was nothing less than phenomenal... We dined at this restaurant twice and we’re lucky enough to have him as our waiter both evenings... The restaurant on the island is also amazing...

...From check-in to check-out, the staff were courteous and helpful. My Titanium elite status was recognized at check-in, leading to an upgrade... The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from a shuttle boat which carries you over to a private island filled with flamingoes, iguanas, and beautiful views (Renaissance Island)... I’d like to recognize a few staff members and I must apologize in advance as I won’t remember all of them and may misspell their names: Jean at LGS, Evy at LGS, Keila at Aquarius, Cesar the Bellman, Vladimir at Fresco, Sali at Fresco, Robert at the front desk, Asheiline at Blue, Mark at Blue, William at Sole, Erwin at the Midnight Lounge, and Desiree at Aquarius... The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and I look forward to a future stay!...

...The water is safe to drink, you can leave the resorts without being fearful, and even with the cruise ship traffic we had no problem getting anywhere...

...From the time we arrived till our last day we felt like we were in paradise with the best people around us . The hotel is so clean , and has everything you need ... So friendly and just welcoming through out the entire stay we didn’t had one single issue... We booked cabana for our day on flamingo island Lindo was the guy who was helping us out and was our host ... He made sure we were taking care of ... We felt so spoiled and cared for we didn’t wanted to leave ... Every single person we came across was welcoming us and just wanted us to feel like home... This was my first vacation that was so smooth and just perfect I had hard timing leaving Aruba!... Thank you to Renaissance hotel and its staff for such an incredible stay ...

...During check-in on the first day, the front desk staff (I think his name was Robert) sold me a full-breakfast plan meant for Elite members ($20.5 per day) & told me that it included everything... The next day I had breakfast at Fresco & the hostess informed me that many items were not part of my plan... I don't recollect the name of the lady but she reconfirmed that my full breakfast plan should include everything & that the folks at Fresco do not know how the plans work... I have been in touch with the front desk since then... They keep giving me excuses that charges were refunded but my bank confirmed there are no incoming transitions pending... I have been asking for proof of refund and my emails are being escalated for 2 weeks but no resolution so far!...

...The staff at the Renaissance Wind Creek in Aruba are fantastic and make all the difference. They made us feel welcomed and special right from the moment we arrived... From Sugeiry, a host on the private island, to Jarod at Fresco's at the Ocean Suites, there are simply too many to name everyone who brightened our days and made our stay on the island special... They treat you like family and are all very, very good at what they do... While there are so many good reasons to visit, we'll be going back to say hi again to the wonderful staff, who we miss already...

It is not often today that you go somewhere and every single staff member you encounter is not only approachable but genuinely kind and excited to meet you. We have been coming to this hotel since 1993 and they staff had ALWAYS been the best out there!... Even our room attendant Xiomayra went above and beyond for us...

...They state they try to minimize impact on guest but not doing that very well... Reported this to front desk twice but never taken care of... Had dinner at Fresco’s but when I asked for a different pasta that was available on the menu with a different sauce I was told they were unable to accommodate...

Upon arrival the coach dropped us off to the family side when we were staying at the adults only side. There was no one checking reservations so it was only after waiting in line for an hour that we were told we need to wait for a buggy to take us across the street... Staff at the hotel seem extremely rude and don’t appear interested in helping out... Instead of approving this based on my email confirmation the staff member proceeded to argue with me about having to wait to speak to TUI to confirm that I was All Inclusive... The same lady told me (once my all inclusive was confirmed) that all mini bar drinks are included... When I got to the room the fridge was empty I called reception to say that there aren’t any beverages I’m the fridge to which the lady responded ‘we don’t stick our mini bars at all, I’m not sure why you were told this’ I asked her if she could send a sprite to my room as I’ve just arrived from a 9.5 hour flight, waiting over an hour to check in and am thirsty and her response was ‘I can send it via room service but you’ll have to pay as room service is not included’ complete utter joke and no regard to paying guests or customer service...

...The location here is downtown within walking distance of everything... Very clean and beautiful and we rent a cabana every year to have more privacy (even though the beaches aren’t packed at all)... We’ve been bringing our 11 yr old son here every year since age one and we have nothing at all to complain about... He feeds the flamingos every year and enjoys the peacefulness and beauty of the beach as much as we do... The restaurants have delicious food (even at the pool bar) and the staff are amazingly pleasant every year (our 17th trip!... A lady was walking around making sure she knew I was waiting (which was nice) and she was passing out water... That’s the ONE thing about this hotel I would change...

...On the private island, Melushka always provided great service in the morning for breakfast and Lemeux did a fantastic job keeping the drinks flowing while spending a glorious day on the island...

...The staff overall were amazing however a few did stand out to us, and we wanted to thank them personally. Giovanni Stephens from security made sure we were safe and made sure we laughed and had a great time (every night), Francisco from LG Steakhouse made sure my mom's dinner was great... Every morning for breakfast we were greeted personally by name which my mother and I were surprised and felt appreciated... There was another lady who we were unable to remember her name (she wore a pink shirt) she was great as well... We will definitely be planning another trip to Aruba, but the staff and Island was amazing...

...When we asked for help getting cab or shuttle, one guy asked us to sit down and several shuttles came and left before we knew that was the actual shuttle (he was just standing around laughing with the other guys instead of helping)... Had to call several times for someone to come...

...Housekeeping even did our dishes when we left in a rush one morning (we did them after that, they have enough to do) We food shopped at Happy to Go food store a short walk away... Take the small boat to the island (10 min trip); never had a problem getting the boat to/from... We had breakfast one day and lunch a few days...

...We stayed on the Ocean Suites side and are so glad we did... The boats are frequent enough that we didn’t feel like we needed to be on any particular schedule... The food service on the island was amazing and allowed us to fully relax... Checkin/Checkout was smooth and all staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful... Super easy location to walk around, eat and get a taxi to other areas...

We had our wedding at the Renaissance Aruba resort in August 2022 and everything was beyond our expectations... Our wedding planner Zulaika Boekhoudt was able to make our entire vision into reality... We hosted a welcomer dinner, the wedding ceremony and wedding reception at the Renaissance's stunning private island, as well as a "thank you" brunch to close off the weekend... Andress Palomino from Banquet, planned and set up two of the events, and he went above and beyond to make sure everything was to our liking and made us feel at ease throughout the whole process... He even went as far to make sure our elderly family members had food brought to their tables The entire wedding planning team from Zulaika, Andres, Andrea, Alissa, Carlein were incredibly friendly, professional and attentive... You cannot go wrong with having your wedding at the Renaissance and their wonderful staff...

I think this is defo one of the best hotels i have ever stayed at in all my travels. Everything about it is perfect, from the staff, service, facilities, aesthetics, food... I came here for a solo birthday trip and got it on all inclusive, the hotel has both an adult hotel and a family hotel... I was at the adult hotel but you have access to both hotels during your stay, so i decided to make sure i ate food at both locations and honestly i never once had a bad meal, everything they served me tasted perfect... Theres a mini cart that drives you between both hotels but the walk is also 5-10mins and you can walk by the pier... The bar staff on both locations were super friendly and very attentive, i wanted to book a table for dinner and the concierge instantly knew i was celebrating something and got me a birthday desert for my booking... Staying at the hotel also gives you free access to the private renaissance island where you will find a beach with flamingos, iguana’s, crabs and other sealife... The staff were just amazing, so friendly with such feel good energy... They were constantly complimenting me, they were always super helpful, and paid ALOT of attention...

...Whether you stay at the family friendly or adult only side, you won’t be disappointed! The views from both sides of the property are delightful... We would visit the family property for the sunset and to watch the cruise ships set sail or hangout on the pool deck of the adult only side... We enjoyed the food at all the hotel restaurants / bars... The private island is another great part of the property... The wildlife, beaches, and restaurants are all worth the visit... The staff is extremely friendly, helpful, and work hard to ensure you have an amazing visit... We had an amazing visit and will be back again soon...

...We were welcomed warmly by the friendly staff, who seemed genuinely happy to see us... The pool area was like an oasis—it had beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea and lush palm trees lining the man made beach... The next day, everyone wanted to check out the breakfast buffet first... There was something for everyone: from pancakes and eggs made-to-order at an omelette station, to fresh fruits and pastries... One afternoon, we got pampered with a massage next door while enjoying some peaceful time away from it all in Rif Fort's spa area... Almost every day we explored Willemstad city center which was only a 5 minute walk away—and we loved every second of it too!... At nightfall, we went out for dinner at one of the many restaurants nearby (all highly recommended)... From seafood specialties served up on Seaview terraces overlooking gorgeous sunset views over Punda Beach...to authentic local dishes paired with tropical cocktails prepared by experienced mixologists —we savored each... All in all, this stay exceeded expectations in every way possible: from impeccable service provided by friendly personnel throughout; comfortable rooms; rest time at the pool; excellent food options inside & outside; plus proximity to great attractions....the family truly enjoyed their 3 nights spent here at Wind Creek Curacao Resort & Casino —and would definitely come back again soon!...

...We stayed on the Marina side which offers an All Inclusive experience. The resort and rooms are beautiful and very well maintained... They have a King sized bed with a small chair and foot stool unlike many resort that have a couch to allow guest somewhere to sit other than on the bed... Although there is a rain shower in the room the shower stalls themselves are very small and there are no tubs in the room... There is only one pool at the Marina side (where we stayed) with limited chairs... The morning buffet was always beautiful there is a omelette stations that seemed to be busy all the time however with the amount other breakfast items offered we didn’t ever have one as we were pleased with other breakfast items offered form fresh fruit to yogurt parfaits quiche bacon, ham, eggs, muffins and a variety of pastries... The Evening buffet was equally as pleasing there is a fish station that offers a variety of freshly cooked fish and shellfish... As well as a variety of salads veggies and meats... The Lounge in the lobby also had a great variety of lunch foods and anything you wanted to drink... The Italian restaurant Fresco located at the sister resort was amazing... Is was a tropical paradise with a beautiful Lagoon type beach to swim in... The restaurant on the island is also amazing...

...They made us feel welcomed and special right from the moment we arrived. They are the reason we'll be coming back... We took advantage of all three sites throughout our trip... We stayed at the adults-only Marina site, which has a cool vibe and is centrally located walking distance to lots of attractions, shopping, activities and nightlife... The hotel bar and second floor pool area overlooking the main street and harbour is hard to leave... As compared to other resorts where you have access to a large beautiful public beach (which is great if that's what you're looking for), the Renaissance Island is truly unique with frequent water taxi service to the island where there are two gorgeous white sand beaches, flamingos and iguanas everywhere, snorkeling around the sea wall that protects the beach, a limited number of people and full restaurant and bar service available... The third site, the Renaissance Marketplace, located between the Ocean View and Marina hotels, was also a fun place to walk around and catch a drink or bite...

...After much research and reading many reviews, we decided on the Ocean Suites hotel vs the Adult Only Marina hotel. The ocean suites property, pool and easy access to Renaissance Island was the best decision we could have made!... I booked the all-inclusive breakfast package which was well worth it... We had a balcony and an amazing view which is important to us... I guess you stay there if you plan to go shopping at high end stores which is the same as staying at a casino hotel in the US... The swim up pool bar is the hotels main area for entertainment... After 7pm, there is no entertainment, however there are many restaurants in walking distance, in addition to the casino which is very clean... The pool service is directed more to the drinkers so they can generate tips... However, the pool itself is amazing but the hotel staff do not appear as "Happy' as everyone makes it out to be... We experienced eating at Fresco, Renaissance Island and Aquarius... We found the food and buffet were much better at the Ocean Suites hotel... Food at Sole & Fresco are adequate, clean & delious... There is only one bar at Fresco, nothing inside the hotel lobby, room service was great since they can bring you glasses of wine, not in disposable cups... Room service menu and prices are the same as going to the restaurant which is a really nice feature to avoid walking all the way to the Fresco restaurant bar and back upstairs... We would definitely return just to go to the Renaissance Flamingo Island and private cabana we booked ahead of time!...

...From check-in to check-out, the staff were courteous and helpful. My Titanium elite status was recognized at check-in, leading to an upgrade... The hotel is located just a few minutes walk from a shuttle boat which carries you over to a private island filled with flamingoes, iguanas, and beautiful views (Renaissance Island)... The staff go out of their way to make you feel at home and I look forward to a future stay!...

From the quick trip here after landing to having so many things to do within walking distance, we just can't say enough about all there is to offer here! The color of the water is spectacular ✨️ the people are so pleasant and happy to have you here which is a big change 😀 fresh seafood daily, music, delicious drinks 🍸 things are expensive here and it is more for adults but just perfect for us... The water is safe to drink, you can leave the resorts without being fearful, and even with the cruise ship traffic we had no problem getting anywhere...

...outstanding time at wind creek with the best staff you could get from 9 nov / 15 nov . had dinners at Madam Janettes , Daniels steakhouse , gianellis italian , and two nites just drinking and having appys appys at the pool... however i do believe the price will go up as we near late november spent a day in a cabana on the private island with the flamingos too ...

Four years I have stayed at this property and I totally enjoyed it. This year when I arrived on island, I was forced to stay at another property for a business meeting, but enjoying a cabana on their beach has always been a highlight out of our trip so I invested $450 to do that the day after I arrived... I got a call from the front desk to inform me that it would be $300 additional for the two of us to use the boat to get to the island on top of the $450 to use the cabana and facilities...

...During check-in on the first day, the front desk staff (I think his name was Robert) sold me a full-breakfast plan meant for Elite members ($20.5 per day) & told me that it included everything... Fast forward the week, during my checkout I found the "additional" charges from Fresco & again from Papagayo breakfast...

...We stayed at the Marina Resort and opted for the All-Inclusive package. Our first day we splurged for a private cabana on iguana island and it was absolutely magical... We took the water taxi that is a quick 7 minute ride and were immediately greeted by Lindo and taken to our cabana that had our name stamped into the sand (nice touch) and cooler filled with drinks waiting for us... We then were brought fruit and nuts to snack on while we got settled... Although the weather wasn’t the best, our cabana butler, Lemieux, made sure we had a great time regardless... If you’re able, would definitely recommend booking a cabana for one day of your stay... The rest of our trip was spent exploring Aruba and eating all of the amazing meals made available at the resort... He immediately called us by our names, learned our orders, brought us water in ice buckets, etc... Go find where he is working and sit in chairs in his area - you won’t regret it!...

...The same lady told me (once my all inclusive was confirmed) that all mini bar drinks are included. When I got to the room the fridge was empty I called reception to say that there aren’t any beverages I’m the fridge to which the lady responded ‘we don’t stick our mini bars at all, I’m not sure why you were told this’ I asked her if she could send a sprite to my room as I’ve just arrived from a 9.5 hour flight, waiting over an hour to check in and am thirsty and her response was ‘I can send it via room service but you’ll have to pay as room service is not included’ complete utter joke and no regard to paying guests or customer service... I’ve never stayed at an all inclusive hotel where there isn’t at least sodas in the mini bar, where room service is not included and where you have to leave a deposit of $50 per night when you have booked an all inclusive package holiday via TUI...

We stayed at the Marina hotel in an ocean view king for a week. It was a relatively standard Marriott experience - comfortable bed, clean enough, standard, decently updated room, with a few oddities... The bathroom seemed like it had been updated to have a barn style door that slid to the side, except when it open it covered the bathroom light switch LOL... I wish the toilet/shower room had its own door, rather than just the single sliding door for the entire bathroom, because the kitchenette and only mirrors in the room were all behind that door... Our room looked out at the marina and had a lovely view... The hotel was well located within walking distance of many great restaurants... The beach was quiet, easy to find shaded beach chairs at all hours, and great beach service... I would probably stay at the Renaissance again just for access to the island alone... They did give us some credit to use at the casino, which was a nice touch!... We also made use of the island, and enjoyed the adults only pool area a few times with some drinks, overlooking the main street and marina...

...The location here is downtown within walking distance of everything... Very clean and beautiful and we rent a cabana every year to have more privacy (even though the beaches aren’t packed at all)... He feeds the flamingos every year and enjoys the peacefulness and beauty of the beach as much as we do... The rooms and property are very clean and modern... The restaurants have delicious food (even at the pool bar) and the staff are amazingly pleasant every year (our 17th trip!... A lady was walking around making sure she knew I was waiting (which was nice) and she was passing out water...

...We stayed at the Renaissance resort on the marina side. This was one of the best resorts we have stayed in... There are two properties you can visit with multiple restaurants and they also have a beautiful private island... The rooms are HUGE and very beautifully decorated... The pool at the marina isn't huge, but if you want bigger and access to the beach, you can visit the second property... The marina side is very chill and relaxing and we thoroughly enjoyed it... Make sure you take the water taxi and visit the private island... So, if you want your steak to have pink, be sure to ask... I would like to thank Jose at the BLUE bar for the drinks, Pedro for being helpful and a huge sweetheart and Mark for helping us on our first day in Aruba... The Aquarius restaurant has breakfast, lunch and dinner in a buffet style and the food was awesome!... We very much enjoyed meeting Elizabeth and Betty there who are also super sweet and helpful... !They all made us feel at home and genuinely welcomed and valued at the resort... I have never stayed at a resort where everyone from check-in, to the restaurants and even the man who hails taxis has been so overwhelmingly friendly and caring... Every time we left or returned to the resort, he would greet us and was super helpful...

...When going on vacation, we always love Aruba and staying at the Renaissance. On the private island, Melushka always provided great service in the morning for breakfast and Lemeux did a fantastic job keeping the drinks flowing while spending a glorious day on the island...

...Giovanni Stephens from security made sure we were safe and made sure we laughed and had a great time (every night), Francisco from LG Steakhouse made sure my mom's dinner was great... Every morning for breakfast we were greeted personally by name which my mother and I were surprised and felt appreciated... We will definitely be planning another trip to Aruba, but the staff and Island was amazing...

Beautiful property and loved Flamigo Island... Would like to see the pool area kept open later than 11:00 so we could enjoy a cigar without being harrased by security... Waitress Shari at Blue Bar was excellent and was very attentive...

We were able to secure day passes to the island with our group of 10 adults... It was also a bit confusing because online there were conflicting things I read about needing to take towels, being allowed to take food/drinks to the island along with other things regarding Covid procedures...

...Building and surrounding areas clean. Room was nice, although small (we had a one bedroom) and our view was of the parking lot... Kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal... Toaster, blender, pots, dishes, utensils, two burner stove, microwave, coffee pot, small fridge, no oven... Housekeeping even did our dishes when we left in a rush one morning (we did them after that, they have enough to do) We food shopped at Happy to Go food store a short walk away... Pools looked nice, we went to the island everyday, so didn't use them much... Families at the pools looked like they were having a lot of fun... The little beach onsite was OK... Some days we left the island, went to our room for lunch and stayed and spent the afternoon there... The offsite island is a nice touch... Take the small boat to the island (10 min trip); never had a problem getting the boat to/from... Two beaches on the island, we liked the family beach best as there was more room... Palm trees provide some shade... We had breakfast one day and lunch a few days... The snorkeling on the family beach was really good... Never saw them used and they look like they get little use... There are a lot of great restaurants within a short walk and shopping if you want...
