Resort Details
- AquariusBuffet-style restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- FLUXFormerly known as Blue.FLUX is the island’s newly expanded poolside escape, reimagined to deliver an entirely elevated day-to-night experience for Renaissance Marina Hotel guests. By day, guests unwind amid fresh juices, frozen cocktails, and light poolside fare, complemented by rotating indigenous-inspired amenities, from tropical fruit skewers and herbal icicles to chilled towels and infused waters celebrating local flavors. A complimentary sunblock and hydration station ensures comfort and refreshment throughout the afternoon. As the sun begins to set, FLUX transitions into a warm, seductive evening atmosphere. Ambient lighting, candles, and curated décor set the tone as the soundtrack shifts to a signature sunset lounge playlist of organic house and chill electronic beats. Evenings spotlight cocktail-forward service with premium spirits, island-inspired signature drinks, champagne features, and elevated small bites. With curated DJs or live musicians on select nights, FLUX invites guests to linger longer, where day melts into night, and every detail is designed to surprise, delight, and connect guests to the rhythm of the island.

The resort offers easy access to Renaissance Island, exclusively for Renaissance Aruba's hotel guests. Complimentary water taxis ferry guests to a lush, 40-acre island boasting two private beaches. Iguana Beach allows young skippers to romp on white sands, leaving romantics to revel in peace at the adults-only Flamingo Beach. If Zen is your pirate nickname, wander over to Spa Cove and splurge on a sunset couple's massage with champagne, or cash in your all-inclusive meal ticket at Papagayo Bar and Grill for rockin' banana jammers that'll have you hangin' with the flamingos!
The Dive Center and Marina make it easy to test your sea legs. Snorkel or scuba dive through an underwater dream world, or stay afloat with a kayak or sailing trip. The nearby Robert Trent Jones II-designed championship golf course is just the place to test your long drive. If you prefer Vegas-style luxury, two casinos, 24-hour entertainment and a 130-shop mall are within walking distance.
After all this activity, you'll love the eight restaurants at this resort. The all-inclusive package makes it simple to try Blue's tapas menu, L.G. Smith's Steak & Chop House's signature dessert or a mango mascarpone tart big enough for the family to enjoy.
Adventurous souls and sandy-bottomed beach bums unite! Whether you want hustle and bustle, non-stop casino action or a water taxi to the silky sands of Renaissance Island, this resort has everything your island heart desires.

CHASE the DJ.. he’s was the highlight of my trip.,no other DJ can out DJ .. lol chase!! JAC..THEEE BEST. Bar tender at the hotel. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the greatest trip to the island. Not enough staff.. wait times at restaurants were crazy.. NO LONG LINES.. but service was slow. EBONY at wind creek is a pleasure to see every year.. I’ll be back and hopefully the people who were not there this year will be back. One happy island was one lonely island

Fabulous employees
As a timeshare owner at Renaissance Aruba Ocean Suites that just returned after a one week stay, I wanted to say even with the lobby renovation, the resort handled check-in, check-out, and getting around the property better than I expected. While we did have to take a bit of a circuitous route to our room, we had the pleasure of interacting with many more behind-the-scenes employees than in all our years combined. One employee that stood out was named Sandra Adam who worked in Fresco. She was personable and helpful in Fresco’s buffet breakfast. Any time our paths crossed in the kitchen area hallway she always was delightful and friendly. Also, Roland, who tends to the pool area is a familiar face all these years. He remembers us from visit to visit. Without even asking, he’ll bring to our poolside umbrella a small table for us to use. He does a great job maintaining the pool. If we ever need anything, Roland assists us immediately, sometimes before we even ask! Finally, William Garsia, who is the landscaper at Ocean Suites. We’ve had the pleasure of knowing William for years. The minute he sees us he comes to say hello and remembers us by name. William works so hard maintaining the shrubs, palm trees and grass, yet always has the time to smile, say good morning and wave goodbye at the end of his day. It’s amazing to watch him cut the palm fronds off the tall palm trees, while taking notice of the guests that are passing by to ensure their safety. These 3 employees made our recent stay that much better. If there is one thing the resort should take pride in, it’s the people who work there!

A place defined by its STAR staff!
Once again, Rose Ashley made all the difference in our stay by going above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable during the vacation that we had spent all year dreaming of. Specifically - we all know that sleeping on a convertible couch mattress isn't ideal, but with everything that Rose set up for us, it became bearable, and we were able to get much-needed rest :) This is just one of the many ways she went the extra mile for my family and me. She has become an icon of our vacations, and we cannot wait to be able to greet her again during our next stay. However, we'd be remiss if we didn't also give much-deserved s/o's to other very special staff members who left their mark on our hearts: Alex @ Solé, Diane @ Fresco, Caithlyn @ the Navigator, Melissa M. @ Front Desk, Caroline & Ito @ Aquarius, Jason @ the Steakhouse, Jean-Pierre @ Bellhop Services, and Melinda & Emma @ Activities. (The latter who, by wearing her many hats, made us feel like one of her own).
