We loved our stay at the Renaissance! At check-in, we were upgraded to an ocean view room with a balcony. So, off to a great start right away. The room was beautiful and provided a great ocean view, along with the man made beach. We stayed in room 205, which was perfect for us. Steps away from Starbucks for a quick morning coffee, and just down the hall from the entrance to the beach and pool. The man made beach was beautiful! Lots of available seating and the sand bottom pool was perfect. The best part of this area, though, was the staff at the Infinity Beach Bar! We had the best time talking with them each day! They were all so nice and really made our stay that much better! The cocktails were amazing and the service was quick and so friendly! A special shout out to Ivoree, who is the supervisor at the bar! She is WONDERFUL!! Just so genuinely happy and friendly! I hope the hotel understands just how much a gem they have! She is outstanding and is such a wonderful representation of the hotel and Marriot! We rented a car for a few days and loved the free parking in the parking garage located just outside of the front entrance to the hotel. Very convenient! There are several dining options just outside the resort, in Rif Fort. Just past Rif Fort is a quick walk to the Queen Emma Bridge and Punda for shopping and dining. This resort checked all of the boxes for us and we will definitely choose the Renaissance when we return to Curacao!
