Notes/Hints/Tips/Opinions

  • A live steel band at sunset for happy hour sets the mood for theme nights including Pirates' Night, featuring a live limbo show under the stars.
  • Fitness room has Life Cycles, Treadmill, Stairmaster, and Universal Gym.
  • Adjacent to Bucuti's new lobby is a new business center, where guests can make use of a computer, printer, copy machine, fax and e-mail services.
  • The Alhambra Casino and Shopping Bazaar (containing 26 shops) are located directly behind the Bucuti.
  • Vincent, the famous limbo dancer, is there on Sunday nights.
  • Bucuti's pool is relatively small, perhaps 75 X 150 feet. It has no swim up bar, however it is right next to the Pirate's Nest Restaurant and Bar. You can get drinks yourself or they will serve you at the pool. During Happy Hour be sure to ask for "The Arubamama", a special drink available only at the Bucuti and named after Arubamama (aka Karen Booth, the wife of the Aruba Bulletin Board's webmaster, Richard Booth).
  • Happy hour is from 4 - 6 each day; drinks are half price and there are always hor d'oevres brought out each day.
  • At night, for dinner, the waitstaff dresses up in pirate garb.
  • This resort is very quiet, with no watercraft activities going on in front of this area.
