When Dutch soccer stars come to Aruba, everyone gets excited. Arjen Robben, Mark van Bommel, Dirk Kuyt, and Andre Ooijer recently visited the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino, and thousands of orange-clad locals gathered around the hotel to celebrate their visit. Aruban Prime Minister, Mike Eman, honored the players for their outstanding performance in the World Cup by recognizing them each as Ambassadors of Goodwill in Aruba.

After the award ceremony, those gathered outside the hotel had a chance to meet the players. A festival of culture, entertainment, shows, and kids activities overtook the area in the hours following the ceremony.

A message to our famous soccer playing readers: visit a Renaissance. Do it for the fans.
