The entire staff at Tara & Bucuti are wonderful!!! They always ask if there is anything you need and get it quickly for you. They all have smiles on their faces (One happy island) and are very pleasant to talk to. Paco the parrot is also very entertaining. Most employees speak 4 languages so there was never a barrier. The beach is very clean and kept but the waves were too high and ruff for snorkeling.
Let me start off by saying that my husband and I travel a lot, and we have stayed at many resorts over the years, and we were expecting the usual service. However, we were blown away by the service at Bucuti. As soon as we stepped out of the car onto the property, Frank, the doorman, was there with a huge smile greeting us and waiting to take our luggage. We then met the owner, who had a glass of champagne waiting for us. We were immediately taken to our room and we checked in, in our room.
The staff was so friendly and so attentive. We did not encounter one person that was not "happy," which is the island's motto. And Frank, the doorman, it's just impossible not to love him. He strives to make your time there perfect. If you want great restaurant recommendations, just ask Frank. Our best meals on the island were recommended to us by Frank.
The rooms were nice sized, well-equipped, and clean. My husband loved the TV that was installed in the bathroom mirror. There was a brief power outage island wide the first day we were there, and it messed up our A/C. Within two to three minutes of us reporting the problem, they had someone in our room making the repairs. I only mentioned that issue because of how quickly they resolved the issue. I was blown away at how quickly they responded.
The resort is not large, so everything is close and the amazing beach is just steps away. And the beach set-up is lovely. There are plenty of chairs and umbrellas. The beach service was impeccable. Anything we wanted or needed, we just raised a flag, and someone was there to attend to our needs - from drinks, to food, to a bucket of ice to keep our drinks cool. They would bring around cold towels around, and it was so refreshing on those hot days.
This resort caters to couples, no one under 18 allowed. It's quiet and relaxing and not crowded. And the beach, wow, what a breathtaking beach they have.
You will have to travel short distances for meals, but taxis are abundant and inexpensive. The resort has Elements, which is a lovely restaurant.
If you are wanting a stress-free, first-class service resort to relax and unwind, then Bucuti is the place. I just can't say enough good things about the resort. It was spectacular, and we will be returning.
Beautiful island. Islanders could not be any friendlier. Bacuti and Tara very nice. Rooms were very nice and clean but a little on the warm side. Food on island very good. Would definitely come back and stay at Bacuti and Tara.

A Dream Honeymoon
From the moment we got to the hotel we were treated as nothing less than their most valued customers! Mario was AWESOME!!! He literally held our hands and attended our every need to make sure we got settled in. All of the staff are courteous and very willing to help with whatever your need may be. The Bucuti provided first-class service at its best. The resort was so comfortable that sometimes we did not want to leave their grounds. You literally do not have to because they have every thing you need right there! The room was SOOOOO comfortable. Unfortunately the Bucuti is a kids-free hotel. So next year we may have an addition to our family from their comfort. And trust me, a kids-free honeymoon was just what we needed! The privacy it provides and tranquil grounds made for a relaxing stay. And lastly is their morning breakfast... All I can is Ummmmmmm!!! I highly recommend the Bucuti and Tara for any couple looking to escape. And say Hi to Frank for me. He also made sure we got out of there to make our flight.

Is Buicuti Beach resort all inclusive?4 answers

Kozman
I did not go to this one
Flaky
Bucuti Beach is not an all inclusive resort, however a full American Breakfast Buffet is included with all room categories. The resort also has several restaurants on the property which would be an additional cost. There are also many dining alternatives a short distance away.
ccsusan1
no it is not - a wonderful buffet breakfast, with a cook making eggs to order, is included - two happy hrs a day helps keep the price of drinks down a bit
LAINTY
The Bucuti is not all inclusive, but it does include an excellent and extensive breakfast buffet every day which includes both American and European fare including an omelette station and a hot dish specialty that varies by day. It's a great start before heading out for your daily adventure. With respect to other costs to consider when comparing, the Bucuti includes free use of all beach chairs and umbrellas, free Wifi (including the loan of a netbook if you want one), and free parking. These costs are not typically included in many resorts and should not be overlooked. Additionally, the Bucuti Sand Bar has TWO happy hours every day/night with mixed drinks at half price which cut down our vacation bar bill considerably!
mboileau
Not all inclusive however a full breakfast is included.

Is it a bad idea to vaction at a hotel a week before it is closing for renovations?2 answers
Looking at the Bucuti hotel in Aruba the first week in May but it is closing for three months due to renovations the second week of May. I want to book but am scared to do so.

Due to the resorts upcoming renovations, we recommend you do not travel to this resort right before they start these renovation. As some of the amenities might not be available while traveling so close to the start of their renovations.
CaitlinCC
Hope you went to the Bucuti. We were there December 2013 and are going back. It is a fabulous hotel.

How far away is the casino? Is it really walking distance?4 answers

Maryland
Upon speaking with the resort, they advised that the casino is a 3 minute walk from the resort.
CaitlinCC
The Alhambra casino is across the parking lot. Easy walk. There is a tram that runs at night that will take you right to the front door if you don't want to walk.
BucutiLover
The casino is across the parking lot; an easy walk. They also have a shuttle that will take you back but it is literally a 2 minute walk.
xzm49v
There are several casinos in Aruba. One is right next door to the resort.

Is there any entertainment at night or do you have to leave resort,4 answers

Unfortunately, the resort does not offer nightly entertainment. They have The Sand Bar which is open from 11am to Midnight. There is also a casino which is in walking distance.
KristenCC
They have a few things at the resort...happy hour with live music each day, and movies one night a week. Otherwise you would need to leave the resort, but there is a casino, restaurants and a bar with live music within walking distance. The cab ride into Oranjastad only cost us $9 one way. (American dollars)
Denny
You will have to leave the resort. This resort is built for romance, peace, and tranquility. Great restaurant. But the night life is only a 10-minute cab ride away.
Alastel
You have to leave the resort, but it's a quick taxi ride.
