  Impeccable Resort and Stay

  From start to finish, the staff at Bucuti and Tara was absolutely amazing. They were very friendly, hospitable, attentive, responsive, and paid attention to all details for your stay. The grounds were immaculate, and I would have never known the resort was 38 years old. Everything from the food, location, oceanfront views at Bucuti and Tara was money well spent. I highly recommend and would stay again.

  Best resort ever

  What really can I say? Aruba is an incredible island, but when we go back, we are only going to stay at Bucuti. Service is exceptional and the vibes are immaculate. We are pretty introverted and quiet, and the environment suits us perfectly. I contacted the concierges a little over a month before we visited and Fatima gave us a great list of restaurants that she recommended. We ended up picking four that looked good, and she made reservations for all of them before we even arrived. We also booked the sunset sail ahead of time. We are very much a read on the beach and have a drink couple, so we didn't book any adventures otherwise. Breakfast was included at Elements which was lovely and an easy way to start the day. Hit the gym a couple mornings early and it was quiet. They have a selection of free weights, a few machines, a good variery of cardio stuff, and plenty of yoga mats. You can reserve your spot on the beach the evening prior, starting at 5 pm. They have a tablet in all the rooms, or you can download an app. The front row or 2 fill up quickly, so it reminded me of trying to book classes for college. There are plenty of open and good spots either way. The room was great as well. It has a microwave and mini fridge if you go shopping or have leftovers. Each night, they also offer a turn down tea service, which was pleasant. Everyone who works there is friendly, smiling, and helpful. I would recommend everyone to stay here, but I want to make sure it's not sold out next time we can go!

  A beautiful place to relax and unwind

  This was our first visit to Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort. We've been to Aruba before and stayed at the Marriott. The two experiences do not compare. First, this is an "adults only" resort, so no kids, no loud music on the beach and no loud groups of people. The beach chairs are set far enough apart that you're not listening to other peoples conversations. The process for reserving your beach chairs is very easy and you don't have to get up at 5AM or leave the beach to wait in line like you do at the Marriott. From the minute we arrived and were greeted with a cool cloth and a glass of champagne to the day we left, we experienced a high level of service and very happy, friendly people. It seems that visitors return again and again because the staff seemed to recognize old faces and were very welcoming to newcomers. Our room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable! The breakfast at Elements restaurant was delicious and plentiful. There is nothing like drinking your morning coffee and staring out at the beautiful turquois water of Aruba. The beach is absolutely beautiful with white, powdery sand and clean blue water. We had a great stay here and will definitely return.

  Our favourite place!

  Bucuti and Tara is truly a gem in Aruba. We loved its exceptional location, right on the most beautiful stretch of Eagle Beach, offering a serene atmosphere, outstanding service, and the warm friendliness of every staff member. The resort has the perfect size—not too large—so each guest feels genuinely valued and enjoys that special sense of being at home away from home. The beach is simply excellent: the lounge chairs and mattresses are the most comfortable we’ve ever experienced, and the umbrellas are spacious and set at an ideal distance from each other, ensuring privacy for everyone. There’s always plenty of space, and one of the best features is the ability to reserve your umbrella the day before through the hotel app. No need to rush in the morning—there’s always availability, and the experience feels relaxed and well organized. The food is delicious, and the view from Elements restaurant is absolutely stunning. The Sandbar offers a great selection of drinks and snacks and is the perfect place to unwind, chat with other guests, and make new friends. The entire staff is exceptionally friendly and professional—they quickly remember you and make you feel sincerely welcomed. The hotel itself is quiet and peaceful, ideal for relaxation, yet conveniently close to restaurants and bars. Palm Beach is just a 10-minute drive away by car or taxi. Rooms are spacious, immaculate, and very comfortable. Complimentary filtered water and ice are available throughout the property, which is a thoughtful touch. This is truly our favorite place in Aruba—it has everything we could possibly wish for in a perfect vacation. Absolutely and wholeheartedly recommended!
