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. Sometimes it can be great other times not so great even with tipping. We love Havara in the Blue lounge and Loily at the island, she is terrific. We travelled... More

This is the second year we stayed here and it was amazing the second time as well as the first. The staff is so friendly and the service is so good it really makes the trip awesome. 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

The GOOD; Where do I start, Beautiful resort, from the loby,pool,, great choice of rest. & food, staff was FANTASTIC, willing to go that EXTRA, for any request, looking foward to returning next year! The BAD; if I had to see something, that could be improved, it would be the bathroom, it was dated, shower in tub, but still not... More

My husband and I just got back from a 5 day vacation to Aruba. This was our second time on the island. There are positives and negatives about the Renaissance. We booked our vacation online and booked a "resort view" room. BIG mistake! This is literally a room that has a window that overlooks the lobby. The room was extremely... More

This review is a little late, as our last visit was in July 2011. This is our third trip to the Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino, staying exclusively in the Ocean Suites. The rooms are really in need of some updating. We stayed in an oceanview room, end unit. There was a broken venetian blind in our room which should... More

The good - nice marina pool, good atmosphere, tons of candle lanterns put out at night, downtown location - close to shopping and restaurants The bad - Hotel rooms are OK - more of a 3 star, waitstaff/bar service extremely slow - even with 2 tips (tip was automatically added in and we would tip extra but still very slow),...
