BUCUTI MARKS THE SPOT FOR THE PERFECT ENGAGEMENT Romantic treasure hunt on Aruba's Eagle Beach leads to engagement for Calgary couple

Eagle Beach, Aruba - February 22, 2010 - Love was in the air on Valentine's weekend when Calgary native Norman Chow proposed to his girlfriend Amy Yu at Aruba's Bucuti Beach Resort.

Under the guise of a private dinner for two exactly one year after their first date, Amy was led to Bucuti's Eagle Beach where a treasure hunt was waiting for her. Each clue contained memories from milestone activities in their relationship, which led her to the final "treasure," a ring buried in the sand. Norman got down on one knee and proposed, and Amy said yes. The couple celebrated with a romantic dinner and photos on the beach.

"As the only resort on the island catering exclusively to couples, our goal is to create personalized, unforgettable experiences for our guests," said Bucuti Beach Resort Wedding Planner Nashette Wouters. "We worked with Mr. Chow to help make his dream proposal a reality."

Bucuti provides the perfect setting for a proposal with the beautiful white sands of Eagle Beach and beautiful sunsets each night practically guaranteed. Guests can custom order their very own engagement before arrival, and Bucuti's associates will stop at no end to deliver with amazing attention to detail. Possibilities are endless - from a traditional romantic beach setting with rose petals, champagne, candles and chocolate covered strawberries to an adventurous scavenger hunt or any other scenario guests dream up.

"Nashette took my rough ideas and turned them into a perfectly planned romantic treasure hunt we will never forget," said Mr. Chow. The couple will wed in the spring of 2011.
