Hi, we've spent five nights in a Tara Beach Suite at Bucuti in May.
It was just great. You can find some of our pictures here: http://www.teresniak.de/index_aruba_english.html
Bucuti is too far away from the centre of Oranjestad for walking, but with a rental car you won't need more than a few minutes. Driving in Aruba is really easy.
A good map with the Bucuti you can find here: http://www.aruba.com/images/regiomap2.jpg (Bucuti is at Eagle Beach)

P.S: If you tell the Bucuti in advance that it's your honeymoon, they will have a little surprise for you when you arrive

Bucuti is a beautiful small resort in the low rise area. It's perfect for your honeymoon - quiet, romantic with very few kids and is on the most beautiful expansive beach!

While there is little night life within walking distance, there are some good restaurants you can walk to...and the downtown and the high rise areas are a quick taxi ride away. You can also use the local bus, which is very inexpensive.

That being said, a car rental for at least a day or two is a great idea so you can explore the rest of the island. Each year we go, we now rent a car for our entire stay so we can up and go on a whim whenever we feel like it.

I think you will love Bucuti - enjoy your honeymoon. Congratulations!

Return to One Happy Island, January 7, 2009!

You will love the Bucuti. When you are there, go to the happy hour at the beach bar and say hello to the bartenders Lionel, Marina, Juan, and Aldrick.
