We loved the location - away from the main city but close to everything. The beach was gorgeous and there were enough umbrellas for everyone. Breakfast each morning was awesome - we enjoyed having whatever type of coffee we wanted specially made for us as we dined alfresco looking at the turquoise blue waters. The service at Bucuti was top notch - we were well taken care of!

Everything was great. The people were terrific, the accommodations were good and the food was also quite good. My only complaint was that our flight was delayed, and when we asked for a later check out time, all they could offer was 1 extra hour, which meant that we had to sit around for an additional 3 1/2 hours doing nothing, with no access to our room or shower facilities.
