Hut Tub is Out of Order for Foreseeable Future!
The only reason that I am deducting one star is because I had chosen this resort for the hot tub. Unfortunately, it was out of order for my entire stay and they had no idea when it will be back up and running. I was very disappointed. Otherwise, the stay was pleasant with a swanky adults pool, comfortable room in the adults tower, courteous housekeeping that left me chocolate, and the island with its wonderful flamingos and iguanas. The only other downside is that the island is very close to the airport and it is very loud when planes are coming and going (which happens frequently). The pool and ocean temperatures were comfortable.

Another enjoyable vacation
For many years we have been vacationing, in October, at the Renaissance Wind Creek Resort (Ocean Suites). Located downtown Oranjestad, opposite the harbour, the Renaissance is close to plenty of shopping and restaurants. Our stay is always excellent. The resort is very clean and well maintained. The atmosphere is relaxed and for the most part the noise level is low. The resort has two casinos and several restaurants. A bonus is the private island that beach goers, staying at the resort, can access via water shuttles provided by the resort. What a treat to go there! The next section we write is for management's attention. We'd like to recognize some employees who through their kind and very friendly personalities made our stay extra enjoyable. The Renaissance should be very proud to have these employees on their payroll. Rose Ashley was our housekeeper. She has been a long term employee with this resort. Rose was very attentive to our needs by always ensuring we had ample towels and toiletry supplies while she was tidying our room. Rose was always cheerful and greeted us daily with a smile and kind words. Linda Garcia is another very long term employee, just like Rose. Linda has had various positions in the years we have known her but she is most known as the Renaissance Greeter. Linda is always greeting people on check in day in the lobby. Her cheerful disposition and warm personality makes you feel as if you're coming home to family. Everyone who has vacationed there for any length of time looks forward to seeing Linda. Last but not least, there are two bellmen, who like Rose and Linda, made our vacation more enjoyable. They are Cesar Lopez and Andreas Karamantana. Bellmen are the first people whom vacationers see when coming to the resort. Dealing with the general public can be a challenge however these men make it seem so easy. They are genuinely happy to see you, always greeting you with a smile and are happy to assist you if they can. Both of these guys work not only at the Ocean Suites but also at the Marina Tower. The atmosphere is very different at each location as the Ocean Suites is for families and the Marina Tower is adults only. No matter which location they're working at, their friendly demeanor stays the same. While we have singled out four employees for their contributions to our vacation, we hope management will recognize the contributions that all their employees make as it is resort employees who truly make the difference for the vacationing public!
