Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino and Renaissance Curaçao Resort and Casino have been named the best hotels on their respective Caribbean islands by Monarc.ca, the largest database of hotel reviews in Canada. The resorts were chosen for having the best value, quality to price ratio, restaurants and couples’ travel experiences. Renaissance Curacao was also recognized for its innovative Infinity Beach Club.
Located in the vibrant capital of Oranjestad, the AAA 4-Diamond Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino is in the midst renovating its adult-exclusive Marina Hotel, with $35,000 being invested in each of the hotel’s 297 guest rooms to give them a contemporary residential feel, with design cues that reference Aruba’s natural palette. Family friendly accommodations are available in the spacious Ocean Suites.
The resort also offers a private island experience on Renaissance Island, a 40-acre private island accessible by boat and open exclusively to resort guests, features a family-friendly cove at Iguana Beach and an adult-exclusive escape at Flamingo Beach.
Located in the heart of historic Willemstad, Renaissance Curaçao Resort & Casino offers guests 237 rooms designed with a combination of contemporary Caribbean flavor and traditional European sophistication.
The resort, which opened in 2009, is home to the Infinity Beach Club which features an elevated beach experience complete with natural ocean water, white sand, palm trees and sweeping ocean views. Adjacent to the resort is the Rif Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Both resorts offer guests plenty of entertainment through Renaissance’s interactive RLive Life program, upscale shopping at Renaissance Mall and Marketplace in Aruba and Renaissance Mall in Curaçao, expansive casinos and multi-screen cinemas.
Monarc.ca presents visitors with reviews and ratings for over 1,000 hotels in the most popular sun destinations for Canadian travelers.
