First, you have the main building, where we checked in. Not like many beach resorts, including the InterContinental Fiji, where it’s a large beach property and is not built up vertically. More so that the hotel just has different pieces of property in different areas. The layout of the hotel is oddly spread out. Radisson Ambassador Plaza Hotel San Juan.
The boat shuttle comes right into the lobby area. I’m sure there are much better beaches in Aruba but the convience of the entire thing was awesome. If you want a hotel near the airport, and in this case we did, this seems like the best option. We spent most our our time on the little island as the area directly around the hotel was beachless. Come, drop your bags and get shuttled on a boat (free) from the lobby to the private island.
It wasn’t the swankiest hotel but the private island made it the perfect hotel for a 24 hour visit to Aruba. The Renaissance Aruba deserves more pictures than any hotel I’ve stayed at.
