The Renaissance Aruba Resort and Casino is reopening on June 30, ahead of Aruba’s tourism reopening, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The property includes two resorts: the Renaissance Marina Hotel and the Renaissance Ocean Suites, along with a private-island beach destination. 

The property is reopening with a number of new health and safety measures, with features like the ability for guests to check-in through the Marriott Bonvoy app at home before they arrive. 

That’s along with enforced social distancing, widespread, enhanced disinfecting and new protocols for casino visits. 

The resort’s popular Renaissance Island will continue its tradition of private boat transfers, albeit with a reduced capacity on each boat. 

Aruba is reopening for U.S. travelers on July 10, after a phased opening for travelers from other countries that started on June 15.
