Marriott's Aruba Surf Club Palapa & Pool Rules [merged]

[rickxylon]

The Renaissance Aruba does not charge for palapa use for guests at either the Marina (adults only) or at the Ocean Suites (time shares but you can also book days there) when using the pools/beach near the rooms. There is also no charge for guests who go out to their private island on their shuttle boat. There is a charge for non-guests to use the private island.

No charges at the Renaissance. The lagoon area at the main resort had lots of chairs available under the palm trees. Nice little lagoon for a cool swim.

Renais. Island (Wonderful location) had two different beaches. One for adults only and one for adults with kidlings. None of the chairs were ever tagged. If we arrived later at any of the locations, we did have to search for shade, but on the whole, it was MUCH more relaxing than the MOC.

Great staying at both resorts. Better accom. at the MOC, but the beach area was crowded, etc. Short bus ride to Arashi Beach, which was wonderful.

If you want relaxation, go to the Renais. Older resort, but not as crowded and the boat ride to/from the Island was wonderful.
