- 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.

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.

Nov 07, 2026Flamingos and Renaissance Island are worth it, but check your room
We stayed 2 nights. Short version: the private island is the reason to come. The rooms and service didn't match the price. What we loved • Renaissance Island & the flamingos: The free boat to the hotel's private island and the flamingos at Flamingo Beach were one of the highlights of our whole Aruba trip. • Location: Right in downtown Oranjestad, walkable to the marina, shops and restaurants. What could be better • Room: Our first room had a strong musty/mold smell. We asked to move and the hotel did change it, but the second room was only average for this price level. • Service: Overall it felt cold and impersonal, with little warmth at check-in or during the stay. Tips • Go to Renaissance Island early in the morning, before it gets crowded. • Check your room as soon as you arrive and ask to change right away if something is off. Bottom line: Stay for the island and the flamingos, but keep your expectations modest for rooms and service.

Nov 05, 2026An Amazing Stay at Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba, and I can honestly say it was an amazing experience from beginning to end! Emily from Guest Services was an absolute gem! Professional, friendly, patient, and always willing to help. And, of course, Joanne at Flux Bar! What a personality! Her drinks were fantastic, and her infectious energy and sense of humour kept us laughing. She certainly knows how to make guests feel comfortable and entertained! We travelled all the way from Trinidad and Tobago, and Aruba has certainly left us with beautiful memories. We look forward to returning!

Our Home Away From Home in Aruba! ❤️🌴
My husband and I have been visiting Aruba for over 20 years, and the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort is the ONLY place we stay! At this point, it's so much more than a hotel to us. It's like coming home. One of the things I love most about returning year after year is seeing so many familiar faces. There is something truly special about being welcomed by people who have been part of your Aruba memories for years. I wish I could remember everyone's names because they deserve to be recognized! A special shout-out to Jax at the Ocean Suites and Pedro at the Marina Pool! And then there's one very special waitress at Aquarius who used to work at the Ocean Suites pool years ago. I still have a picture of her with my two children, who are now in high school and college! We get so excited every year when we see her. One day, I promise I'll remember her real name, but she will forever be "Mi Dushi" to us because that's what she always called us whenever we saw her. ❤️ Those are the kinds of connections that make a place unforgettable. The property is always beautifully maintained, and I love seeing the continuous renovations, improvements, and attention to cleanliness. The food is great, the service is wonderful, and the staff truly make the experience what it is. After more than 20 years of visiting this beautiful island, I can honestly say the Renaissance continues to be our home away from home. Thank you to all the amazing people who make each visit so special. Already looking forward to next year! One Happy Island, and one very happy returning guest! 🌴☀️❤️

Everything you need in a resort
My only problem here was I didn’t stay long enough! I need at least 3-4 nights at this property the next time. The lobby was one of the most beautiful ones I’ve seen in a while. It was high tide so I couldn’t experience the lobby boat ride. The infinity pool was beautiful and the temperature was perfect. The Starbucks on sight was very convenient also. This was my first time in Aruba but it definitely won’t be my last! The morning trip to Flamingo Beach was so worth it. There was plenty of lounging areas and I even got some videos of the flamingos. This is perfect for solo travel, couples, and families. My room was located in the adults only tower as was very clean and I loved the decor
