Location

Situated just 15 miles from Venezuela, 2 1⁄2 hours from Miami, and 4 hours from New York, Aruba is an island oasis with a location that makes traveling a breeze. Upon arrival, our guests will discover this one-of-a-kind destination with ease as they make their way to the resort, just 8 minutes from the Queen Beatrix International Airport. The tropical delights of Aruba are easy to reach from most major U.S. cities and air service is available from both Latin America and Europe with several airline accommodations. Guests coming from the U.S. shouldn’t forget their passport, as it’s needed to travel in and out of the country. All visitors must have a return or ongoing ticket. Those visitors going stateside can conveniently clear U.S. Customs while in Aruba.

Accommodations

Ornamented in the jollity that defines our resort, happiness is a constant state of mind—shared by guests with varying ideas of the perfect vacation. Over 550 rooms and suites are divided between two perfectly tailored experiences, the first in the form of inviting, tranquil one-bedroom spaces at the Renaissance Ocean Suites, the second being the vivacious, adult-exclusive rooms of the Renaissance Marina Hotel. Both areas offer access to every exquisite amenity, including the complimentary Wi-Fi you’ll need to keep track of all the likes your posts are getting.

With 300 newly renovated rooms dedicated to accomplishing the perfect composition of blissful tranquility and vibrant Aruban spirit, The Renaissance Marina Hotel is the perfect place to unwind. Each individual room is specially designed to include a French balcony and an abundance of space allows for each happy couple to enjoy time live-streaming their view of spacious horizons, dazzling Oranjestad cityscapes, or the cocooning hotel atrium.

For those who seek even more luxury, the resort also offers Premium Suites for a few dollars more. Inside the Renaissance Ocean Suites, the Presidential Suite splits off into two rooms, each one sharing awe-inspiring ocean views that will put every individual, couple, and family in a happier mood.
