The Renaissance Aruba Resort, which is situated near Aruba’s capital, Oranjestad, is enjoying a new lease of life after a $15 million renovation was completed in 2004.

The hotel and casino resort is located on the private, 40-acre Renaissance Island – reserved for use by guests at the Renaissance Aruba Resort. The island is reached via a free water taxi service.

The Renaissance Aruba Resort is a great gambling holiday destination and houses two casinos – the smaller Seaport Casino in the resort’s convention centre at the waterfront, and the Crystal Casino, which stays open around the clock.

Renaissance Aruba Crystal Casino

The stylish but laid-back Crystal Casino at Renaissance Aruba boasts 15 000 square feet of gaming floor space. The casino floor houses 34 table games and 411 video gaming and slot machines, as well as live sports and racebooks.

Crystal Casino will appeal to high-rollers on gambling holidays, who will be pleased to find a couple of high-limit table games.

Renaissance Aruba Crystal Theatre

Opened next to the Crystal Casino in 1998, the Crystal Theatre is home to Renaissance Aruba’s nightly live entertainment and boasts 6 separate cinema screens.

The “Experience Aruba Panorama” runs for 22 minutes every hour, introducing guests to the history and cultural heritage of Aruba, while at night the Theatre puts on productions of the “Let’s Go Latin” dance show – the largest stage show in the whole of the Caribbean.
