Resort Details

- 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.

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.

This private island offers two options: Iguana Beach for families and Flamingo Beach exclusively for adults. Sneak off with your partner to enjoy a couple's massage at the private Spa Cove, or recruit the kids to bury dad in sand before challenging everyone
to explore the wonders of the deep with snorkel and fins. From scuba diving and kayaking, to sailing and deep sea fishing, the resort offers something for everyone. When the time comes to wash off the salt, take a dip in the Ocean Suites' lagoon-style pool,
and float over to Sole's swim-up bar to share a pint with your sweetie.
This resort offers the Patamingo Kid's Club with day and evening sessions, as well as extensive babysitting services, leaving you free to spend your afternoon hours on the only 18-hole golf course on the island, relaxing in one of Okeanos Spa and Fitness Center's
steam baths or playing the slot machines at the nearby 24-hour Seaport Casino. When the sun dips beneath that endless horizon, it's time to indulge your taste buds with the flavors of the islands. Aquarius offers international fare, including steak, shrimp
and burgers. And with numerous other dining choices, even the pickiest eaters will find a dish they like.
This hotel is NOT all-inclusive. Food and drink must be purchased separately. Unless otherwise specified, all services are subject to change.

Oct 18, 2026Treated like royalty and family…
This was our 3rd year staying here and honestly the staff have made us feel like family. We look forward to seeing Rosalba, Lucy, Rachel, Sandra, Santusha, and the others at Fresco for a fantastic breakfast each morning. At the pool bar and Sole’ we are greeted with hugs and the best tropical drinks and food and smiles from William, Ishra, Carlos, Jacques, and others. Ms. Claudette with our fresh towels. Sandwich and Gregory walking around and keeping an eye out for whatever you need…The view is stunning as we watch the cruise ships leave at night at eye level! Ceasar welcomes you at the front entrance with arms wide open and directs you anywhere you want to go. Anjee is hands down one of the sweetest humans on the planet. At the end of the stay they put on a huge buffet and dance show with local flair and it’s a must see! Walking distance to the casinos and fabulous shopping! Theres also a private island that Chris (our boat captain) shuttles you over to where you can rent a private cabana and feed the flamingos that wander freely about as well as iguanas. Mustn’t forget the 5 star menu and staff at LG steakhouse! Kenny, Joshwin, Jason. Garina, Jason, and Aundrey.. Paola, and Ebony at Flux… Love them all! Already planning for next year!

Oct 17, 2026Aruba at the Renaissance
Great spot right on the water, definitely PARADISE❣️our room overlooked the lagoon and pool (I believe they all do on the ocean side (kid friendly vs adult side which was not by the water) LOVED this so much We especially loved EMMA the previous soul who set up our chairs each day. The way she worked with the kids was priceless - she had them hunting for diamonds. The laughs and Smiles were contagious. My favorite was being able to go to flamingo island FREE anytime❣️ Hop on the boat right there and go, towels, rafts, chairs, snorkel gear all free‼️ due to staying at that hotel. The BEST THING at the island besides the wonderful flamingos was the breakfast special- which included code, Big bowl of fresh fruit and the meal of your choice, FABULOUS ❣️ only reason why I didn’t give 5 stars was due to the construction going on there right now, but they are working incredibly fast. The doormen were so nice and always wanting to help us- taxi, free shuttle to the adult resort across the way with has a beautiful rooftop pool and an Incredible restaurant called AQUARIUS, don’t Miss out on this buffet. Very close to the the marketplace, casino, restaurants all you need is right there. No need to rent a car.

EMMA made our stay great.,the island was boring this year
EMMA!! what a joy!! She has more energy than any one on the island!! She loves all the visitors at renaissance hotel. Amazing personality and she never seems o have a bad day!! She gets a 10!! 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!
