The fact that you can be whisked off to the resort's private island complete with restaurant, beach side beverage service, and pink flamingos. There are 2 sections. One for adults only, and one for families.
What I wish I
could change:
The pink flamingos on the island were not shy and once or twice I woke up with a beak in my face!
Why YOU should
go:
Being downtown allows the guest to experience everything that Oranjested has to offer. You get to enjoy all the restaurants and night life right at your finger tips, plus experience a typical beach environment by taking the short boat ride to Renaissance island. The best of both worlds. My kids loved the island.
The Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino features two distinctive lodging options and its own private island. The Renaissance Marina Hotel is the contemporary choice for adults-only and the Renaissance Ocean Suites, an all-suite option, is perfect for families.

Hurricane Policy: Marriott International will once again ease wary summer travelers' concerns with "Marriott's Caribbean Travel Interruption Promise", protecting guests, and their precious vacation time, against the threat of a hurricane.
Guests holding a confirmed reservation with a nonrefundable deposit who are unable to travel to the hotel where they hold a reservation due to an airport or the hotel's closure related to the hurricane, have the option to choose either a full refund or a one-category room upgrade on their next visit to the same hotel within 12 months. These two options apply to room-only rates, promotions and packages. Reservations for comparable accommodations will be made on a space-available basis. This policy does not apply to delayed or cancelled flights due to severe weather or other conditions for any reasons except as identified above.
Guests who are registered at the resort whose stay is interrupted by a hurricane which directly hits the property (as defined and validated by the U.S. National Weather Service) will receive a certificate for a complimentary three-night return stay valid for two years from their original travel dates, including room and room tax. This return stay is based on availability and other applicable terms and conditions.
