We will be staying at Bucuti for our honeymoon in September. We are looking for a few good places for dinner close to Bucuti (walking distance would be great)
A few ideas for a a cheap close lunch would be great too! Thanks

a nice place is MATTHEWS at the CDM/ABC resort.
another is French SteakHouse and Gardent Terrace although i do not know if it still getting rave reviews like in the old days circa 1990.
another is Mulligans and Windows on Aruba across the way about 1/4 mile at the Divi Golf resort.
Pizza Bobs is right there near the Bucuti.
Tulip is a 1/4 mile wwalk up the road on the right at MVC Eagle Beach.
Screaming Eagle is in the same direction as Tulip.

Once you get to Aruba......venture out a bit and get your bearings and see these places.
Then decide on one, 2 or some

Tortuga Grille at ABC is a sleeper. Good food at great prices in a pavillion with the beach and ocean right there.

you have GOT to get your daughter to dress that dog in another outfit!!!!
something a little less flashy
maybe gingham or a cute little polly flinders dress?

Eliotti's is within walking distance of the Bucuti, and the food is very good and reasonably priced. While at the Bucuti make sure that you go the the happy hour at the Sand Bar on the beach. Say hello to the bartenders for me (Aldrick, Marina, Juan, and Bruno). I am such a regular there that when I walk in for the 1st time on my visit, they remember my drink from the previous year and mix it before I even order. How's that for service?

The only place from the list of restaruants above that are closed on Tuesday is Screaming Eagle. They started to close on that day when I was there in April.

Passions is closed on Tuesdays too. Not on the above list but was one of the places i wanted to try.
maybe we'll just wing it that night and see where we end up. I think i can do 1 night with out actually planning something!
