Aug 01, 2025Perfection on Eagle Beach
My husband and I just returned home from our stay at Bucuti & Tara. I think I've found my new happy place. Their location is dynamite, on a soft sandy, immaculate beach. Despite warms temps, the sand was always comfortable to our feet and the water is calm with all the shades of blue. From the moment we pulled up in a taxi until we said our sad goodbyes, the staff at Bucuti & Tara were extraordinary. Every member seems like they love their job and is excited to make your happiness their #1 priority. They were a step ahead of us constantly. A little hot at the beach? Ah, here's a cool washcloth delivered at the peak of the day! It's that kind of attention to detail everywhere that makes this such a special place. I loved that I could make an easy reservation for 2 lounge chairs and an umbrella and they were ours for the day. No getting up early and fighting to get a spot. Delightful. Breakfast is included and available at 2 spots, one air-conditioned and indoors and the other outside at the water. We opted for the views every day. What a way to start the day. And, it was delicious! The beds are comfortable with high-quality bed linens and pillow options. I can't say enough good things about Bucuti & Tara and know we'll be back.

If you want a peaceful, quiet, relaxing and very friendly, clean resort on a beautiful beach, with easy access to shopping and nightlife only 10 minutes away via taxi, this is the place to be! We loved the resort and Eagle Beach and plan to be back soon!

Fifth time and gets better and better
This was our 5th trip to Bucuti & Tara and it continues to be the finest experience in Aruba. From the moment you arrive where a glass of champagne awaits, to the nicest beach in the Caribbean, to the glorious staff (Karen at the beach bar, Beverly at the Towel Hut), this is the place. The ability to lie on a beach in quiet, with great food, a great bed, amazing view....just perfect. Already booked for next year.

Wonderful Resort
This was our third visit to Bucuti & Tara. If you are looking for a relaxing vacation with your significant other, this is the perfect place. It is a smaller adults only resort. Love that we can book our beach chairs the day before and they are set up waiting for us. No need to get up early to claim your spot. The beach is incredible, not crowded in this area. You can walk to several restaurants if you are looking for options. Excellent staff/service. Quiet, clean. If you like to go to the gym, it has a full gym where you can get in a great workout. Not your usual hotel gym. For breakfast you have lots of options. Love having breakfast looking at the turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Overall, best resort we have been to which is why we keep going back year after year. It has become our home away from home .

Jul 25, 2025A gem of a boutique hotel
This is our first trip to Bucuti and Tara and we have not been disappointed. We are in an oceanfront Tara suite which is lovely. (I love the tv in the mirror in the bathroom - very convenient.) The staff is wonderful and the food is delicious. I love the focus on health but it is not over done. The beach is beautiful with comfortable beach lounges and enough room between umbrellas so you don’t feel crowded. The best aspect is it is an adults only resort which we prefer at this point in our life. It is a quiet and relaxing resort. I recommend it and we will definitely come back.
