Very romantic spot for dinner. Beautiful sunset. Staff made me feel like a gluten free princess including bringing me my own basket of bread and butter. They have a gluten free menu but most items on the regular menu can be changed to be gluten free. Very knowledgeable anout cross contamination

My husband and I traveled to Aruba for our 10th anniversary in November 2022 and had the romantic dinner on the beach in a private palapa. Every single course was delicious and the restaurant took very good precautions- I did not feel sick at all. Great experience.

Went here for my honeymoon and did the romantic dinner package on the beach. The food was amazing and they are very careful. All items are clearly marked on menu and each course they stated it was gluten free. Great experience!

Food is delicious. Super romantic. Need to go at sunset!! Plenty of gf options. Be sure to tell them you are gf so they can tell the chef. Waiter was amazing and while the tuille on my panna cotta was most likely gf, he had them remake it of his own choice to be safe. I didn’t ask them to which I think was great

Tasty food but very small portions. Nice view but annoying birds trying to steal your food the whole time. Helpful staff.

First thing the staff did was to ask about allergies. Lot’s of glutenfree options. The onion soup came with glutenfree crutons. They also served glutenfree bread. Tenderloin was amazing and tender!!! The dessert was also good. The drinks are extremely strong and you can taste the cheap/local alcohol. Got tipsy after only two drinks. But the food was excellent and the views were amazing!! Would recommend booking a table so you get to see the sunset

My family of 4 dined here September 2022 while on vacation in Aruba. Two of us have health conditions with serious gluten sensitivity. We felt safe with their celiac protocols and did not feel sick afterwards.

They have a large dedicated GF menu. They also have a dedicated vegan menu available.

The food was SO delicious! We started with GF French Onion Soup (it even had a gluten-free crouton on top) that was excellent! Our 4 GF entrees (duck, mahi mahi, beef x2) were all delicious. Everyone was very happy!

Tip 1: They will provide GF bread (for dipping in oil, butter, olive tapenade) free of charge if you ask.

Tip 2: Book at sunset as the beach views are awesome!

By far the most comforting dining experience on the island. The gluten free menu is introduced to everyone when you are seated and they ask you to let them know if you have any other allergies as well. I was served gluten free bread which was awesome and I ordered the crab cakes and chateaubriand, both were incredible. You also get sit right on the beach, the view was beautiful. I will definitely return in the future!

For the first time in Aruba I did not have to explain my gluten allergy. I did not have to specify that I can’t have any cross contamination and it did not take me 15 minutes to order because I had to examine every ingredient, so that I did not end up in the hospital. They just knew how to cater to all dietary needs, no questions asked. This was a first class experience !

This is the restaurant at Bucuti which is where I stayed while in Aruba as well. I would definitely recommend eating here. They take all precautions to avoid cross contamination and are extremely knowledgeable about celiac disease and eating gluten free. Outstanding food and service. Also oceanfront!

Excellent attention to my gluten and dairy allergies. I had the best meal here the whole week I was on the island. Super service as well. Celiac and I did not get sick. Bread, crab cakes and skirt steak. Definitely go here.

Fabulous view for dinner. The menu does have GF labels. We got the 6 course meal and were able to modify it to meet my GF needs. They did provide gluten free bread. Unfortunately did not feel super confident that our waiter understood the severity of my allergy.

Did not get sick, food was very high quality. Would likely go back again.

Amazing view & delicious gf food! The best that I have had on Aruba!! Crab cakes to die for! This celiac is a huge fan!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is so beautiful! We went here because my husband and son have Celiac disease and need to eat GF. Their menu indicates GF on it and they had lots of choices you don’t usually get to have GF (crabcakes, cheesecake, french onion soup.) My husband ordered the GF french onion soup. He took two bites/spoonfuls and a person who was not our waiter came to the table and said they had tp retrieve it as he had received the non-gf french onion soup. Wow! Now, at this point, my husband has already gotten serious cross contamination from the bread in the soup. He also now had to watch my son and I eat our appetizers while he had nothing. His GF soup was not brougt out till we were long finished our apps. Did they remove the $6.50 soup from the bill? Nope. They did give him a complimentary drink, but I can’t understand not taking the soup off-especially with how delayed it was let alone the contamination issue. Am I glad they said something? Of course! Had they not, and my hisband got sick, this would have been a one star review. It makes me nervous when a restaurant doesn’t have distinguishing dishes for GF-or a manager bring the food or both. This is a perfect example of what can happen. Be careful if you eat here. Maybe insist your actual waiter or a manager bring your food instead of a food runner who has never spoken with you.

Celiac friendly?

No

Absolutely fantastic food - fresh healthy ingredients, and the whole menu can be modified to gf. Super safe for celiac, with very knowledgeable servers. Such a treat!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This was by far the best meal that I had in Aruba. Everything is very clearly marked, and the menu is very well thought-out. Many of the dishes are very unique and delicious. Online, they say that they have European size portions, but I found the portions to be very generous.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Elements was incredible. Yolanda made me feel extremely comfortable and assured me the meal would be prepared separately and was knowledgeable about cross contamination. I would go back tomorrow!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Stunning atmosphere, amazing gluten free food. I had crab cakes for the first time in over 5 years and delicious smoked salmon pasta. Definitely recommend this place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Fabulous dinner and amazing atmosphere

Amazing service, literally everything even cheesecake was gluten free/ celiac friendly!

Absolutely fabulous restaurant. 100% celiac friendly. As a matter of fact they cater to all allergens. Yolanda was an outstanding waitress and David, the restaurant Manager was so attentive to everyone and all dietary needs. 100% highly recommend this restaurant. We had shrimp and avocado app and crab cakes and mahi mahi and ny sirloin

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great beach front place at the bucutti resort. Gluten free menu was big and server was very aware . Brought gluten free bread and said it was prepared safely . Mentioned chef was told I had celiac and not worry. Food was great and views were awesome. Go early to watch sunset!!
