The only reason for the average rating is because of the spa, the decor is very modern and it is unique because of the private island. The flamingos and privacy of the island are 1st class! Plus, I like the fact that I do not have to fight for a lounge chair like we did when we stayed in Palm Beach! We cannot wait to return to the Renaissance in Aruba! I also like the fact that we can stay at the Marina Hotel, but still go to the Renaissance Suites to swim or use the beach. We love Goerge, who drives the boat to the private island. I agree that the hotel staff is not the friendliest, but we have stayed at other resorts on the island and found that the staff is not all that much better. I love all of the candles and the blue lights. The hotel bar and pool always look so wlcoming and romantic in the evening. We have children, but they are too young to enjoy all that Aruba has to offer.
What we love about the Renaissance is the Private Island and the fact that the Marina hotel is adult only. We do not spend a lot of time in our room to worry about the decor.
We love it here! The rooms are nothing great, but they are clean and the beds are comfortable.
This was our second trip to the Renaissance Marina Hotel.
