Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I really like this place!

So many food options from Cuban, Dutch, Asian, Mexican, Italian & the list continues on.

There’s quite a few shops to find some really great items to take back home with you.

There’s also an arcade room to release and play some video games.

At night, you’ll find many live artists performing some really great music to enjoy.

This place has a great vibe, I think you’ll find yourself here a few times while you’re here in Aruba!

Have fun!

It's Christmas season so this mall has lots of decorations. It also has a "skating" rink, and live music on stage.
Plenty of bars and restaurants here. Some shops, casino and a marina round out the facilities. And maybe you can see a cruise ship going by.

We enjoy the shops and restaurants in the marketplace. So convenient to the Ocean Suites. The Seaport and Crystal Casinos though are the real draw. Wind Creek did a wonderful job remodeling the Seaport and the staff working there are the best. I wish I had gotten the name of one of the attendants who paid us our hand pays as he always stopped and asked if we were enjoying our vacation. We did and we won at the casino. Loads of fun.

The Renaissance Marketplace sits across from the Renaissance Mall, bordering Wilhelmina park and the marina. This is a lively area with a movie theatre, shops, restaurants and entertainment. There is a stage at the back of the complex that had live music the night we were there and about 10 restaurants/bars located here,most with outdoor dining available. This was a relatively easy stroll from the cruise ship terminal.

We seriously considered the all-inclusive plan at the Marriott, but it was prohibitively expensive, especially when you figure in that our breakfasts were already free because of my husband's Marriott elite status. (We had to pay $6 extra for the full breakfast, but we still came out hundreds of dollars ahead by not doing the all-inclusive.) My concern was that this is not the center of the tourist area for the island, so would we be spending all that extra money getting to and from places to eat everyday. You'll be happy to know that the answer to that is no. This is your place. Mexican? Cuban? Japanese? Chinese? Dutch? Coffee? Ice Cream? Italian? Drinks? Coffee? You name it - it's here. And it's an easy walk from either of the Marriott buildings.

The Renaissance has in-house restaurants, but you'll want some variety. We ate lunch at the private island some days, we had 2 destination dinners that we traveled to by taxi, but for the most part we had lunch and dinner here at the different venues available. Our favorite dinner was at Hopi Bon Grill - Japanese hibachi with awesome drinks. Our most frequently visited restaurant was the Dutch Pancakehouse, where we had breakfast and lunch (and dessert), we had a nice dinner at Cuba's Cookin and ice cream at Haagan-Dazs, and one night there was a craft fair in the center with handmade local artists plying their beautiful wares. We bought water shoes and a ball cap at one of the souvenir shops, we enjoyed live music on the outdoor stage, and we walked from the Marketplace towards the water to get some beautiful sunset photos. There's a movie theater, but we didn't go.

We were in Aruba a week at the Marriott Renaissance without a car. We went out twice for dinner, taking in beaches and shopping at those locations, taking a taxi out both times (to be sure we were in time for dinner reservations), took a bus back one time and walked back the other. Other than that, we found everything we needed here (or on the private island - we went there everyday.)

I was so glad to find this place was so close, and had everything we needed. There are upscale shops in the Marriott building, but this was the place that had what we were after.
