What a great (& affordable!) option near Aruba’s best beaches. We stayed here a week, had a wonderful time, and plan to stay here again.
The location is an 8-minute drive to Eagle and Palm Beaches, or a 15-minute drive to Arashi Beach farther north (rental car essential)… Aruba is so easy to drive and navigate. And if you prefer to avoid the sand, the charming pool is a great option. Our 7-year old loved it, though most of the time we were the only ones using it.
The outdoor dining area is lovely, with plenty of tables and benches, though some of the wood chairs aren’t very comfortable; others have cushions. The cafe is great, with a basic menu and plenty of caffeinated options. Service isn’t rushed so feel free to linger.
Onsite parking is convenient and beach towels are provided and changed on cleaning days (not daily; and by the way the cleaning lady is just delightful).
The room interiors are clean though basic. Our room (#8) had two queen beds, firm and very comfortable. There wasn’t too much sunlight - just a small kitchen window and a medium-sized window facing the pool area. We used the air conditioning only half the time as the place was naturally cool. The bathroom was modern and clean. Having a stove was essential, as it allowed us to prepare breakfast before leaving and cook dinner at the end of the day; as you probably know, food in Aruba is not cheap.
And the hotel is very peaceful. There was one clueless idiot who felt it was necessary to slam some doors at 3am one night - hopefully he never comes back. Otherwise it was quiet.
It was also helps to manage expectations. RH isn’t rustic but modern, basic by many standards but likely upscale by many island standards at this price. If you are looking for “luxury”, you’ll need to spend quadruple the amount (or easily more at some of the high end $$$ hotels & villas).
There is also a barbecue area out back that needs to be reserved at the front desk but we didn’t use it this time around.
This Aruba hotel features rooms with microwaves and refrigerators. The hotel is one miles from the Queen Beatrix International Airport and offers an outdoor pool and free WiFi in all areas.

Oranjestad has a few nice areas for visitors with restaurants, bars and shopping. The water is spectacular! It's easy to get around by taxi or bus. Aruba is very breezy and the sun is hot - so lots of high quality sunscreen is a necessity along with a secure hat. We enjoyed happy hour and small plates at Cuba's Cookin' in the Renaissance Marketplace - try the mojitos!

Most visitors are from the cruise ships, and spend a day here. We enjoyed & days of which 3 days were snorkeling on 3 different beaches (more and we would have been roasted by the sun). The town, and especially the museum is very interesting - very Dutch.
We didn't do much shopping, there didn't seem much (apart for Dutch food in the supermarket) that we couldn't have bought anywhere. Lots of kitchy souvenirs near the cruise terminal. If you like fresh fish, it is well worth taking the bus (or driving) to the "fish market" at Spanish Cove. It is just a couple of sheds on the waterfront where the fish are landed and sold by local small-scale fishermen, who will also clean and fillet for you.

I enjoyed staying right in Oranjestad because I had many options for dining out in the evening. I rented a car so I was able to go to either side of the island pretty easily from there. The Arubus station is right there so I think it would be fairly easy to take that up to Eagle beach if one didn't want to rent a car. I was in town for part of Carnival so it was fun to watch that also.
My photos are of Eagle Beach, Tres Trapi, and Baby Beach. Oranjestad restaurants: Pastechi House, Lucy's - mahi sandwich, West Deck - fish/shrimp, and Dutch Pancake House - Dutch Pancake.

The island is very easy to navigate by auto. Many choices for food and shopping at the super market to grill out is a good way to save money for nights you don't desire to eat out. Sunsets are beautiful most every evening. Go to Boca Catalina snorkeling to see the Sea Turtles. If you want to feel young and vibrant go to Moomba Beach Club on Sunday evening.

careful with the taxi drivers - they dont pay attention to get you to the right destination!
also - very disappointed in Zara at the renaissance shops - its a cruise port and hotel and they wouldn't allow you in with a small suitcase - shame on them
did have a very nice dinner at wilamena - highly recommend!
Every minute of the stay was incredible. The beds were extremely comfortable, room was very clean. All the facilities were incredible and well kept. The pools were fabulous. Renaissance Private Island is a must! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel activities and events were great - recommend the walking tour of Oranjestad and the Wine and s’mores night! Food was delicious. Will definitly be back!
Wonderful oasis of palm trees, tropical flowers, birds in the middle of Oranjestad
At night, lights and candles are on, making the garden and the terrasse even more charming.
The facilities are very well equipped, even providing chairs for the beach.
Very friendly, helpful and reliable host, the wonders boutique is fantastic choice for an authentic stay in Aruba.
I loved this hotel. My family and I loved the food, the staff (with exception of some Housekeeping ladies that were not the friendliest). In the main, everything was great. We loved how clean the hotel was. We loved Esmeralda from food and beverage, she was very welcoming, dedicated, professional and friendly at ALL times!!
We’d love to go back!
Breakfast was excellent-if one can eat everything offered, for sure can skip lunch and get directly to dinner!.
Same for the view from our balcony-the sunset is unbelievable!
The nearby beach (100 ft away!) was nice, but we went everyday to a different beach.
The staff was super friendly.
The price was reasonable compared to other hotels.
Room, amenities, were great. Shelly was really nice to us. Gave us extra towels. We were early to the hotel on our first day and needed to keep our bags so she let us keep them at their office. She also let us use the washroom to change and freshen up. That early check-in really helped us get the trip started on a good note.
If you want to visit Aruba with luxury AND phenomenal customer service from start to finish, then stay at the Renaissance Marina. My family had the best experience here. The friendliness, the attention to detail from check-in, housekeeping and dining experiences were amazing. We have never wanted to leave a resort until now.
The hotel's location was great. We particularly liked having a supermarket within walking distance. Our main mode of transportation was taxi and though we were a bit removed from the others, who also came to Aruba for the championships, the comfort made up for the distance.
Central location in Oranjestad. Great views of the harbor and all the boats coming and going . Lots of restaurants and bars nearby, not to mention the lobby restaurant/bar with happy hour 5-7. The pool is beautiful and well maintained. A great stay if you want to explore !
Best of all is its excellent location, since you can walk from the terminal to the hotel, because it is right next to the airport. In addition to a very good continental breakfast and the hotel staff is very attentive at all times.
It is adorable throughout the hotel. The renovations they have done did the place wonders. Everyone was so nice, loved the roof seating area and the small cafe within the place. Highly recommend this as a place to stay!
The hosts were very accommodating. They helped us order takeout, book a rental car, and stashed our bags for us until our room was ready. The hotel was very clean. My kids loved the pool.
Clean, comfortable, everything new and well equipted. Very nice and helpful staff.
parking place right by the room. one of the best hotels we have ever been (and we travel a lot worldwide)
Wonders Boutique isn’t on the main strip of hotels/resorts but is close enough you don’t miss a thing. It’s also a relatively small hotel (11 rooms) so you won’t feel overcrowded.
Great location, walking distance from everything in Oranjestad. Friendly host, efficient AC, adequate kitchen amenities, lovely backyard with pool and sun chairs.
Maurice was great and responsive. The property was spacious and clean. The pool was a nice addition. Convenience location to Oranjestad and Eagle beach.
