Walk the Perfect Mall

ORANJESTAD — Aruba is hot in every sense
of the word, but not just in temperature.
When the sun is at its highest, you may pre-
fer to beat the heat and escape to a comfy
environment. The beach is a great option,
but you have a need to shop, have a cof-
fee, walk around, stop, try on that cute hat
or buy the awesome shoes. After all of that,
you crave for a cool glass of wine and a
light snack just before you meet your friend
for dinner. Yes, the perfect day!

Imagine doing all of this, all at one place.

Where?

The perfect mall…

Whether you’re local or visitor, you just
have to go to Renaissance Mall in Down-
town Oranjestad.

You ask why?

Look, malls are everywhere.

But according to Quora there are three
main reasons why a mall is attractive. First
reason: Popular brands. Louis Vuitton, Guc-
ci, Rolex, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Carti-
er, Chopard, CH Carolina Herrera, Michael
Kors, Kate Spade are only some of the over
30 stores in this one-stop shopping Valhal-
la. Renaissance Mall has them all.

The second reason Quora states: recre-
ation and comfort. Well, Renaissance Mall
is covered, cool, offers clean public rest-
rooms, is housed in an elegant building
with a classy interior and invites guest to
play a round at the casino upstairs. Besides
that, you’re in midtown, the heart of Oran-
jestad.

The third reason that brings the customer
in: Food! Of course, we need to fuel our
inner body too and Renaissance has that
ready for you. Starbucks, or a super lunch
at Aquarius Restaurant and finish it all off
with dinner at L.G. Smith’s Steak & Chop
House.
It’s just an idea for you, but I do it.

The Sport
Besides the offerings of the mall, you might
like the walking too. As a matter of fact Mall
Walking is a sport in the United States. Yes,
it may sound crazy, but people actually
walk and/or jog inside malls for exercise. In
our opinion a great health boost in combi-
nation with shopping. And it’s even better
at Renaissance Mall, where you are out of
the sun and have restrooms available as
well as comfy seats and benches to take
a moment of rest. You’ve got your hat and
your new pair of shoes? You drank your
wine and had a wonderful steak dinner?
Well now, just wander off to that sweet,
soft suite at the Renaissance Hotel.

Try this Dream and… Sleep Tight.q
