Be sure to come prepared with US quarters to purchase food to feed the flamingos. Once you arrive at the private island, if you are anything like me you will want to rush right over and see the famous flamingos and start taking pictures. The ride itself was a really nice way to kick off the day. Be sure to be on the lookout for the lizards that live on the resorts property! The boat that takes you to Flamingo Beach leaves every 15 minutes, and is about a 10-minute ride to the private island. To get to the boat, you head out back to the pool/beach side of the resort and take a right all the way down until you see the dock. Whether you are a guest of the resort or purchase a day pass you will get a “key” to the island, the key is actually a card similar to a hotel room key that you will scan at the boat dock taking you to the Island. The day passes cost $99 per person and include all day access to Flamingo Beach, as well as lunch and a drink. The front desk starts selling day passes if available at 8 am, but plan to be there as early as 7 am since there is often times a line of people waiting to buy a pass. If you do choose to go the day pass route, just know that they are on a first come first serve basis. The main reason being that the day passes cannot be purchased or reserved in advance, and they don’t sell them to the public if the resort is at capacity for the day. Since I was planning to extend my trip by a day anyways, it made sense for me to book a night at the Renaissance Aruba that included access to Flamingo beach instead of buying two day passes. There are only two options if you are planning to visit the beach, the first is to book a room at the Renaissance Aruba, as all guest are able to go back and forth from the resorts main property to the private island as they please. The first thing you should know if you are looking to visit Aruba with the goal to snap some pics with the flamingos is that they actually live on a private Island owned by the Renaissance Aruba. I had always dreamed of visiting the famous beach where the pink flamingos roam free and approach you.Īlthough my incentive trip was not hosted on Flamingo beach, I knew that if I was ever going to meet the friendly Flamingos this was my shot! My boyfriend and I opted to extend our trip to spend a day at Flamingo beach! This past May I was fortunate enough to have qualified for my company’s incentive trip to Aruba.
