    A Mixed Experience with a Great Island Perk

    Our stay at this hotel was a mix of pros and cons. The biggest highlight was the boat that takes guests to Renaissance Island—a beautiful and relaxing escape. You can rent private bungalows in advance, but if you don’t, they still provide free chairs and floaties, which is a nice touch. The hotel’s location is convenient if you enjoy shopping since it’s close to the cruise port, making it a prime spot for tourists. However, that also means a lot of foot traffic and crowds. One downside was the parking situation—there’s no valet service, and finding a spot can be challenging with all the traffic in the area. Our room was spacious, thanks to an upgrade, but unfortunately, it was quite noisy since it was located near the pool. The overall hotel experience was just OK, with the boat ride to the island being the standout feature. If you’re mainly looking for easy access to Renaissance Island, this hotel is worth considering, but otherwise, there may be better options depending on your preferences.

    10/10 experience…Wanna go back!

    Our stay was a 10/10 and we already want to go back. My girlfriend and I stayed in the Ocean Suites and the room was gorgeous and spacious, hotel staff was courteous, and the resort had everything we needed. When we got there, they had a Valentine’s Day cake and some champagne for us. A lot of TikTokers mention staying in the Marina Tower because it’s adults only, but honestly, I think the Ocean Suites is the way to go. Although they’re within a five minute walk of each other, the Ocean Suites actually has a view of the ocean (as the name indicates) while the Marina Tower does not. The rooms are also bigger. Free access to Flamingo Beach was clutch! The beach isn’t too crowded if you go early in the morning (before 9 AM), and the smoothies ($5) are amazing.

    Great visit!

    My wife and I stayed here for our spring break getaway. The staff was incredibly friendly, the food on site was wonderful, and the location was beautiful. Maya at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and friendly, and Christopher at the front entrance running the golf cart shuttle was great to chat with! He had tons of recommendations of where to go, and remembered our names for the rest of the trip. Having a shuttle between both buildings was really helpful, and we never had an outrageous wait. Everything was quick and efficient. The only downfall would be that this resort doesn’t have the typical “beachfront property” you think of with open sand for as far as you can see, but the beach it does have is very nice and clean, and is free from the “party scene” of other beaches and the private island has flamingos! With the pool and beach area being smaller both on site and on the island, be sure to grab a shaded chair early in the morning, as they fill up fast! Overall, we really enjoyed our trip and would stay here again!

    Renaissance resort

    The renaissance has so much to offer, the private island being our personal favourite. Donovan and Jared were amazing, and truly elevated an already amazing experience. Food is tasty and there are plenty of options. Highly recommend for families, as it completely changed my opinion on all inclusive resorts.

    Friendly resort

    We are enjoying wonderful food, great weather and meeting friendly people at this resort. We are a family with young and old and this is a great resort to cater to everyone’s vacation needs. We stayed at the ocean view family suites and the rooms are spacious and the sofa pullout faces the sea and we can see cruise ships departing. Aside from the view, food is great too. We frequent fresco downstairs for breakfast. We want to thank Ai Zhen for all the delicious omelets and waffles. Aquarius has seafood grill and lobster tails. LG steakhouse has a great vibe and a nice baked Alaska. We are having an amazing time here and would recommend this resort!
