They both looked beautiful. The radisson is very tropical, but FYI there will be construction on one side from the RIU Aruba Grand (our honeymoon hotel). The marriott is a little more far removed from the main area.

check them out on www.tripadvisor.com

Just don't worry about a few bad reviews, some people are never happy!

I go to Aruba every year with my family, we stay at the Hyatt which would be my first choice honestly but second would totally be the Marriott or Wyndham

To the ladies who have booked at Bucuti... did you use a travel agent? My HM is obviously not for a while, but can't stop thinking about warm Aruba. :) Wondering when I should start to book and whether or not to use a travel agent... any advice would be so helpful!!! Thanks!

Re: Bucuti Aruba

Just wondering.. they seem to push Bucuti a lot.
(Beach Bum travel).. Do you think they recommend this place highly for some reason?? I am sure it's nice.. but I have never heard of anyone I know that stayed there.. What do you think?
