Why Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is the Best Honeymoon Spot in Aruba for Couples @Bucuti
When your flight got delayed or canceled, chances are you would get furious and will just pray that you can hop onto the next earliest possible flight. But in our case in Aruba, I thanked the Universe for the flight cancellation because it opened doors for me to see this wonderful island.
Aruba is a Dutch Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela. It is located on the continent of South America, and a lot of tourists spend their holidays in here because of its sunny weather and amazing beaches. To tell you frankly, it isn’t cheap to travel in Aruba – or in the Caribbean for that matter. So when we got the chance to stay in what they call the Most Romantic Resort in the World – Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, I was ecstatic – no less!
You can also find the latest price or discounted deals thru Travelocity.
They were not kidding when they gave that property its title of being romantic. Just so you know, Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is an adult only beach resort. Thus it is perfect for newly – weds or for couples who would like to relax. I have nothing against kids, and I love them so much; however, the property would like to keep its serenity by having adult only guests. They want us to experience full relaxation at its finest.
And speaking of full – relaxation, we were so lucky to have stayed in the property’s penthouse! You got it right. We are in this expensive and exclusive resort, staying in one of their premier accommodation – I couldn’t ask for more.
