Looking to utilize his past cruise and hotel hospitality experiences, Pereira will introduce new worldly flavors and practices that will align and elevate the Renaissance brand.

“As director of beverage & food, I am looking to channel my expertise and add definition to all of the resort's menus in an effort to have each restaurant and bar foster its own identity, “ said, Pereira. “We are taking the momentum of the resort's recent renovations and carrying it out through improvements in its gastronomy offerings.”

Pereira will highlight a wide range of enticing cuisines from delicate tapas served at BLUE to Aruban island soul food made available at the Papagayo Bar & Grill. A new dessert menu will be featured in the L.G. Smith's Steak & Chop House to bring out a true Americana, steakhouse feel, while new mixology classes and a revamped cocktail menu help evoke Aruba's island spirit infused with flavors from around the world. One common theme woven throughout all menus is the emphasis made on fresh ingredients, an initiative that Pereira views as essential to the success of Renaissance Aruba's new culinary collection. With plans for a new meat-cuttery and pool front champagne bar, the resort looks forward to welcoming guests, returning and new, to experience the new taste of Renaissance Aruba.
