True 5 star. They take care of you. The vibe is very relaxed and they know it and stay true to the brand. Pool was always nice. Having the seats and being able to choose always nice. Food was pretty good for breakfast, lots of choices and very nice wait staff. People who cleaned our room did fantastic job, lots of extra towels etc...The pillow is super nice, I hate most hotel pillows but temperpedic was great and I'm buying one! Real shoutout was Nora at concierge! She took excellent care of us, making and then canceling reservations, then making them again. My husband was ill for a day, and she checked on him many times and made sure he got toast when he was finally able to eat! Very very sweet! Overall can't recommend this place enough !

Another trip in Paradise!
This is our third visit to the Bucuti & Tara resort and it seems to get better each time we visit! This is an adult only resort with an emphasis on tending to their guests every need. This attention is obvious given the number of guests that repeat their visits to Bucuti each year. (we've now visited 3 times!). Each employee you encounter at Bucuti reflects a pleasant and helpful manner and represents Bucuti in extraordinary ways! This year, we were assisted by Francisco & Jhon at the front desk. Both were extremely helpful! The rooms are extremely well maintained and this year, Marie, was excellent. Breakfast is included and again, the staff was terrific (especially Aysha). Bucuti is a special place, so much so that we already booked for 2027!

Paradise on One Happy Island
We just returned from a week’s stay at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. It was our first visit, but definitely will not be our last. It was one of the most relaxing and enjoyable vacations we’ve ever had. The resort is first rate, the staff always friendly and helpful, the beach is gorgeous, and the amenities are top notch. After 2 days home in the snow and cold we already wish we were back. Thank you Bucuti & Tara for a wonderful week in Aruba, one happy island!
