  BUCUTI BEACH RESORT TO ENHANCE ROMANCE WITH RESORT-WIDE ADULTS-ONLY POLICY
  Aruba's top resort for couples expands current Tara Suites adults-only policy to include Bucuti Wing
  

EAGLE BEACH, ARUBA – Bucuti Beach Resort, long Aruba's premier resort for romance, will implement a new, adults-only policy in 2011 in line with the resort's goal of providing a tranquil getaway for couples. Starting December 23, 2010, all guests at Bucuti must be at least 18 years old.

"For years now, the majority of Bucuti's guests have been couples looking for an upscale quiet retreat, and this policy, going into effect late this year, allows us to cater exclusively to this market," said Bucuti's owner Ewald Biemans. "We want to take this next nine months to educate agents and the travel consumer as to our new adults-only plan."

An award-winning, owner-managed resort, Bucuti has been recognized by TripAdvisor as one of the top 10 most romantic resorts in the world and has a longstanding commitment to providing an unmatched vacation experience for couples. Designed with romance in mind, the 104-room resort's peaceful atmosphere and location on the wide, white sands of Eagle Beach set it apart from Aruba's larger resorts that attract more families. Bucuti's sought-after beachfront Tara Suites feature large oceanfront balconies or terraces, king-sized beds and are an oasis from the crowds.

Currently, the resort policy allows for a handful of rooms to accommodate one child in the Bucuti Wing; Tara Suites have always been restricted to adults. Once the new policy goes into effect, children staying at other resorts on the island will still be allowed to dine at Bucuti's Pirates' Nest Restaurant and attend wedding ceremonies.

Couples can relax on Eagle Beach under their own private palapa or simply lounge around the infinity pool in a comfy chair for two. The resort's expert concierge team can coordinate excursions that offer fun just for grown-ups, including a snorkel boat trip, hiking in Arikok National Park, island tours and meals at Aruba's premier local restaurants.
