So..... is the "Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino" yet another Marriot property in Aruba?

It looks like they have a different address than the Rennaisance/Marina hotels.

I'm so confused.....lol

There are five Marriott properties.

Renaissance Ocean Suites (half timeshares, half hotel suites)
Renaissance Marina Tower (hotel rooms)
both of these are in downtown Oranjestad

Then at the northwest corner of the island at the northernmost end of Palm Beach there are, (in order north to south)
Marriott Stellaris (hotel)
Marriott Ocean Club (timeshare)
Marriott Surf Club (timeshare)
these three are the last ones on the north end of the beach.

Thanks Andrea! Having not been there (yet), it's difficult to get the "picture" of it all

So which one would you say has the larger/nicer casino?

From the photos, we definitely like the Resort & Stellaris Casino property more that the Marina/Ocean Suites property.

Thank you Rob! Evidently the Marriott has determined Aruba is a profitable place to have resorts

the crystal casino downtown is pretty large compared to the rest on island.
the crystal casino is adjacent to the renaissance marina tower.

the stellaris casino attached to the marriott resort hotel is newer and in my opinion a little smaller but newer and nicer. it has superb air conditioning!

the comparison you are making is apples vs oranges.
the renaissance properties downtown have the WONDERFUL renaissance island private beach for its guests.

the marriott hotel guests get to enjoy a very congested beach.
but has the very convenient palm beach location.

again, my opinion.
