Okay I am EXCITED, we booked our hotel in ARUBA and staying at the Bucuti & Tara Resort, in the PENTHOUSE suites!!! We also got it through our agent for a couple of hundred dollars less than the website! So here is the question:
Those who have been to Aruba, where can we go to eat? The hotel covers breakfast and one candle light dinner on the beach. Any suggestions....

Re: HONEYMOON CHECK...now a question
We ate at some great places: Madame Janettes and Marandi both had great food and great atmosphere. (each is about a 20 minute cab ride from Bucuti) Driftwood (in town) had really good food (super fresh seafood), but was a little dumpy. Flying Fishbone (30 min cab ride)is a great experience - some of the tables are right on the beach, so they have little hooks for your shoes and the water comes up to your feet while you eat (food was very good - not my favorite, but I think I just didn't love what I ordered). Make a reservation so that you have a table up front (in/near the water) and go just before sunset - we went at 5:30, sunset was just before 6:30. Its a beautiful setting.
We also ate at a place called Pappillon (sp?) (right across from Riu and Radisson) - it was highly recommended and packed, but we had a very bad experience - DH didn't like his entree and I ordered my lamb done medium - it came out super rare, so I sent it back and it was still super rare when it came back. They did the right thing and didn't charge us for my meal and for dessert, but I would have rather paid and had a good experience
