Best place to stay in Aruba-all inclusive
Always enjoy Renaissance Aruba, if stay there seven times in the last seven years. The all inclusive package is the way to go! Enjoyed meals on Renaissance Island (Papaguyo), LG steakhouse, blue, Sole, and Fresco. Always good to see familiar faces of staff who usually recognize us before we recognized them. So many long-term employees… With very positive attitudes. I wish I could remember every name, but I would like to acknowledge Abigail on renaissance Island, along with Natalie (30+ years here) , Alex, Rojas, Jennifer, also received great service from every member of the staff at LG steakhouse! From check-in to check out, everything went so smoothly… Looking forward to 2026 and another visit!

The property canceled our room, even after I had checked in on Marriott’s mobile app.
As a Bonvoy Titanium Elite, I’m well aware of late check in protocol. Therefore, after I had checked in on the Bonvoy app, I had messaged the property letting them know we would be late (next morning) arriving coming from a cruise ship. They acknowledged this, and graciously extended a late 1:30 pm checkout and use of a hospitality room to shower and change. Upon our morning arrival at the front desk, we were informed our room had been canceled due to a “no show”. They offered to rebook a room at higher points redemption rate, or buy day passes for $150 per person. While I found neither option acceptable, I chose to pay the cash for the day passes. I usually don’t post negative reviews, but I needed to vent on this one…

Stay Away
Stay away from this place. My wife and I were put in a room where the door did not secure properly and someone walked into our suite while we were in bed. The hotel admitted in an email that the door did not secure properly several times during the course of our stay, putting us at risk the entire time. They then went on to treat us as if we had done something wrong. I will never go back to this resort again.
