Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort

We had a great stay last week. The staff were incredibly nice & welcoming. We enjoyed the flamingo island adventure, a massage, and the swim up bar. We stayed on the ocean side family resort despite not bringing our kids & felt it was definitely the better of the two resort buildings. Food was also delicious. My only gripes were the noise from the renovation & the pillows weren’t exactly the fluffiest so it was tough for us to fall asleep the first couple nights. They are truly minor issues and wouldn’t deter us from staying here again. Highly recommend this property, will be back with our family again.

Solid 4-Star Stay with Great Perks, but Suites Need a Refresh We spent half of our 8-night Aruba trip at a modern Airbnb in Boca Catalina and the other half at the Renaissance. While we preferred the modern setup and beach at Boca Catalina, the Renaissance is a good resort if you know what to expect. What fell short: The Room: Our 1-bedroom ocean view family suite had a good layout but felt very dated and had a distinct musty smell. The Beach: There is no "real" beach on-property. Snorkeling at Flamingo Island is also pretty poor—you are strictly visiting for the flamingos. What we loved: Elite Recognition: Excellent Titanium perks, including early check-in and breakfast. Pool & Events: Easy to find pool chairs, and the resort hosted fun lobby cocktail hours and a s'mores and wine night. Amenities: The gym is updated. Parking is free, and the resort provides reserved guest spots so you don't have to battle the public crowd. Location: Very convenient and within walking distance to the marketplace and top downtown restaurants.

We had an excellent experience at Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort. The rooms were clean, housekeeping was great, and we felt extremely safe and comfortable throughout our stay at the resort. The complimentary boat rides to the private island are a huge plus and make staying here feel unique. From our experience, expect the trip/process to take around 15–30 minutes. The food and drinks throughout the resort also felt elevated. The lychee martini is an absolute must—we’ve had lychee martinis at many different places, and this was by far one of the best. One thing I want to mention that does not reflect negatively on the hotel itself is our experience outside the resort. We personally would not recommend walking toward the downtown area late at night. It was extremely quiet, and we unfortunately had a frightening incident where a man chased us while carrying a knife. Inside the hotel and resort, however, we felt very safe. Overall, five stars. Great rooms, service, amenities, food and drinks, plus the private island experience. We would definitely stay here again.

I absolutely loved this hotel! It was honestly one of my favorite vacations. The food was delicious, and I really appreciated that they were able to accommodate us with halal meat options, which made our experience even better. The staff made us feel so welcome and went out of their way to make our stay special. We had such an amazing and relaxing time, and everything about the trip felt peaceful and enjoyable. I would definitely visit again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway!

Stayed here the first time on our honeymoon and have visited once since. Loved this hotel, the opened lobby area, pool, and views of the Caribbean Ocean. Everyone was so nice and hospitable both times we visited. The staff spoke fluent English as well as a variety of other languages. Loved the walking proximity to local shops, downtown, the marina, and the mall! The boat ride to Renaissance Island/Flamingo Beach was so much fun as well.
