Fodor's Expert Review pureocean

Part of the Divi Aruba Phoenix Beach Resort, pureocean has an excellent selection of international dishes, an extensive cocktail menu, and one of the most romantic settings on the island. Come at sunset, dig your toes into the sand, and dine right on the beach at a tiki torch–lit seaside table, or choose a spot under the elegant and roomy open-air palapa. Daytime diners can graze the buffet. In the evening, an à la carte menu might include starters such as the coconut curry mussels and Bloody Mary shooters. For the main couse, Caribbean mac and cheese (with lobster) and the coconut curry grouper are excellent. Finish off with a warm molten chocolate bread pudding and a little something from the well-stocked bar.
