Here's our opinion on food at the Rennaissance...
Dunks daily 10.00
Aquariius at Renn breakfast 40.00
Lunch on Renn island 30.00
Happy hour 15.00
Dinner 70-100
Ice cream at Hagen Daz 10
IMOP you would be safe with 150 a day...
we stay at the Renn and own 3 timeshares at the suites. If you have any specific questions on the resort ask away
ALSO, a few tips for the Renn stay..no room key no boat ride...each person needs a key to get on the boat.
Bring some blow up tubes, 36" and take to the island daily.
Bring a small cooler and bring your own snacks to the island. BIg cooler means no boat ride, they won't let you on as they have a restaurant they have to support.
The Renn marina doesn't allow kids in the pool so it SB quiet on the pool deck. They have some great tapas at the Blue Martini bar.
Aquarius has a nice buffet lunch and dinner.
Their are some great shops behind the Renn marina so grab some souviners.
There is also a grocery store behind it to pick up soem snack type items if you need some.
The store "I LOVE ARUBA" allows free calls to the states, or I should say, if you purchase something. Did when we were there anyway.
A couple of great restaurants are within breathing space that you should try...
Casa Tua, italian, LGSmith steakhouse in the resort, Paza Cafe for good dutch food with outdoor music...
Enuf rambling....enjoy
