Further details on the Meals offered at Bucuti Beach Resort Aruba & Tara Beach Suites  

• The Pirates Nest Restaurant offers a full American Buffet. Guests will enjoy cooked-to-order eggs, and omelets, bacon, pancakes, sausage and French Toast, in addition to an extensive cold buffet offering fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, freshly baked breads and Danishes, pate, cheeses, sliced meats, sliced vegetables, coffee, tea and espressos.  

• Express Lunch Service: because most of the guests choose to enjoy their lunch on the beach or at the bar or to take it away on their island adventure... we are changing the lunch service from plated service to a freshly prepared selection of sandwiches and salads to be picked up at our Sand Bar and enjoyed on the Pirates Nest Terrace, at the bar or at guests' beach lounges, around the pool, or as a picnic to take on an adventure. This change is in response to our guests feedback and their desire for a quick, light, fresh selection of items opposed to a heavier, plated service.  

• Beginning Summer Season 2009: The Pirates Nest Restaurant will pause from plated dinner service for this coming summer (2009) while we explore and implement a new theme for dinner service and menu. We will give ample notice prior to re-opening for plated dinner service. The Pirates Nest offerings in the evening can be picked up at the Sand Bar and will consist of freshly prepared sandwiches and salads which may be enjoyed on our stylishly renovated beachfront terrace as well as the Sand Bar. For heavier meals, our guests have the option of 7 restaurants ranging from fine dining to fast food in short walking distances (1-5 minute walk), two in a 10 minute walk and we expand our dine around options which include a variety of restaurants in the downtown area and the Palm Beach Area.
