Bucuti Welcomes the New Year in Style!

In 2008 the Aruba Bucuti Beach Resort realized the final stages of its complete renewal. After the addition of the award winning Tara Suites in 2005, the original Bucuti Wing rooms and public area interiors were completely rebuilt and stylized in 2006 and 2007 and this past year our fresh water pool was transformed into an elegant oceanfront oasis complete with Dedon and Kettal sunbeds, coral tile and hard wood decks.
