Amenity highlights: Both resort sections have pools, but recreation centers on a 40-acre private island with two calm-water saltwater swimming/snorkeling lagoons (one shallow for children, one deeper for adults). The island also includes beaches with hammocks and thatched shades, a water-sports center, a casual restaurant and bar, a tennis court, a beach-volleyball net, a fitness center, and a nature trail.

Insider tip: Accessible by a boardwalk above the water, a private cabana on the resort's island includes a thickly cushioned two-person lounge chair and a cushioned two-person hammock. The cabana can be rented through the resort's health spa in the Marina Hotel.

The Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino comprises two sections of different character and appeal. Guests of either section enjoy access to the other section's facilities, including pools. From early morning to late night, complimentary golf-cart shuttles transport guests the 250-m (273-yd) distance between the sections, which are separated by the Aruba parliament building.

Marina Hotel: The Marina Hotel section is an adults-only, six-story, 300-room tower across the street from the resort's marina. The center of the resort's nightlife, this section features the elegant 24-hour Crystal Casino; the Crystal Theater, which presents a movie about Aruba during the day and a Cuban stage show at night; L.G. Smith's Steak & Chop House; the resort’s spa; and the indoor Seaport Mall, which leads directly to Oranjestad's main shopping district.

The Marina Hotel has a skylighted atrium, a street-side pool and sundeck, and a contemporary lobby lounge serving Japanese-style bento meals and Spanish-style tapas. A small, lower-lobby lagoon has a dock where guests board shuttle boats to the resort's private island.

Ocean Suites: The five-story, 257-suite Ocean Suites section is adjacent to the Caribbean Sea. This casual, family-friendly section features a children's club, a lagoon-style pool with swimup bar, a freeform pool, an artificial saltwater swimming lagoon with beach, the casual Seaport Casino, and the open-air Seaport Marketplace, with some 40 shops, 15 restaurants and cafés, and a multiplex movie theater.

The Ocean Suites section has its own open-air lobby (Ocean Suites guests can also check in at the Marina Hotel), a conference center, and an oceanfront path. Shuttle boats to the private island stop for Ocean Suites guests at the marina.
