Intimate, tasteful Bucuti has no children's facilities (guests must be 18 or older). Those in search of uninterrupted peace and quiet regard this as a very good thing. Its well-manicured grounds lead to a swath of clean beach that is equally uncrowded.

Guest Rooms at Bucuti Beach Resort Aruba: Bucuti Beach has two wings that contain a total of 104 suites. The decor of the more desirable Tara Suites is cool, modern, and vaguely Asian, with furnishings that emphasize design, texture, and comfort. Bathrooms, alas, are nothing special. Ground-floor suites feature a patio with two large, comfortable outdoor chairs that face the Caribbean Sea; rooms on other floors have a balcony, also with sturdy wooden chairs. For guests' convenience, online check-in is available.

Dining at Bucuti Beach Resort Aruba: A daily breakfast buffet is available at the Pirates' Nest, which has a patio overlooking the beach. It also serves a la carte lunch and dinner. Those who opt for Bucuti's Modified American Plan are entitled to a daily three-course dinner in a choice of nine member restaurants of the Aruba Gastronomic Association. Couples can also arrange to dine at Bucuti in a beach cabana illuminated by flaming torches.

Weddings at Bucuti Beach Resort Aruba: It's not uncommon for older, previously married individuals, and those who want a simple, elegant ceremony to situate it at Bucuti Beach. The resort is well prepared to set things up for two to exchange vows on the palm-tree-fringed beach or elsewhere on the property. A special florist and baker are on call. Weddings here tend to be on the small side; the largest group hosted by the hotel consisted of 50 guests. View the Bucuti Beach Wedding Photo Album >
