resort organized ‘Flamin-
gle’ which is a ‘scavenger
hunt’ that gave the guests
the opportunity to win
great prizes by being part
of an educational tour in
Oranjestad. “The idea was
to discover our downtown
and discover the Aruban
culture and history”, this
according to Zugheila
Lindeborgh of the Renais-
sance Aruba Resort.
The guests started at Wil-
helmina Park and while
walking and following
instructions they also re-
ceived information about
Aruban history. Amongst
the visited location were;
Willem III Tower, Fort Zout-
man and the Archeologi-
cal Museum. Besides this
the guests also received
explanation about all they
encountered along the
route including buildings,
statues and plazas. In or-
der to test their knowledge
afterwards the guests had
to fill in questionnaires. Dur-
ing the ‘discovery tour’ the
guests were accompanied
by public figure Caribbean
King Mr. Christian Bendek
and Aruban Social Media
Queen Mrs. Julie Julie. It
was fascinating to see their
enthusiasm. After the tour
the guests enjoyed a ‘Hap-
py Hour’ and some deli-
cious ‘Flamingle’ themed
cocktails at Renaissance
Blue Bar. Flamingo-tails,
Flocktails and Pinkaritas
cocktails were great favor-
ites!
