One bit of advice if you select the Buccaneer for a meal. Be prepared for a cool experience as in chilly. They usually have the air conditioners on warp speed inside this dimly lit restaurant which is just fine with me. My my wife usually brings a sweater. I guess the cool temps combined with the sunburn can trigger the shivers!

From the moment you set foot in the place you'll notice fish. And I'm not talking about fish mounted on the wall (although they have those, too). I'm talking about aquariums throughout most of the restaurant including a giant 75-hundred gallon fish tank. You'll see parrotfish, angels, butterflies, lobster, turtles and much more. The kids love it!This is a good and reliable restaurant that has stood the test of time. Prices are reasonable, servers are friendly, the kids will love all the fish tanks and it's very close to high rise hotels on Palm Beach.

Buccaneer is located at Gasparito 11-C and their phone number is (297) 866172. Their web site has vanished but a take-out menu appears here to give you an idea of prices, etc.

the Buccaneer is disgusting

I have to agree with Tim, it was disgusting. My son is a picky eater and so he got the chicken nuggets. they didn't look,smell,and I might also add tasted like chicken nuggets. No free refills! while the atomsphere was okay it wasn't the greatest.
We thought Iguana Joe's was a great place, but this is only my opinion. Everyone has different tastes and of course opinions.

buccaneer is the best restaurant on the islandi have to disagree with TIM and NICKY!and besides i live on Aruba, i've been going to Buccaneer evr since it opened, its the best rest

I have to agree with Erik, I have travel to Aruba with family and friend five times in the past twenty years being the last trip 6 years ago. The Buccaneer Restaurant is one of the best in the Island, and best of all the people that serve you, I do remember a good friend at the bar, ROY BARMAN. Erik, when you are at the bar please say hello to Roy and asking for the Escargot, they are delicious.

Good luck

I have to say for the best overall experience and ambiance it is tops. My family has been coming to Aruba for the last ten years. I did'nt even discover it till about four years ago and its fantastic, we alway's make it a point to go at least once whilt here on the Island, it's fish tank's to the overheard view of a cave is refreshing to see in a family oriented restaurant. I could go on & on but what can be said is'nt enough. 5*****
