Bucuti & Tara-ALWAYS exceptional!
This was the second time here for us and we've already booked again for next year. We were here in 2021 and it was much too long a time apart-we both love it here and will return again and again. My husband and I cannot say enough about the cleanliness of the resort, the "what we are and are not" of the resort and the people of the resort! I can't begin to tell you how excited we were to be back in Aruba and as soon as we were dropped off at the front door, we felt like we were home!! As in 2021, we were greeted at the door with a big welcome smile and a flute of champagne! What a nice touch! Then it was off to the room for an introduction or reminder of how the resort works. Madeline brought us to our room; we remembered her from the last visit. We were in the same room as 2021 which was great! A Tara suite in the middle with a full view of the beach. On our door was a welcome back sign along with some goodies waiting for us on the table. The room was exactly as we remembered! There is a tablet in the room where you can reserve your chair or cabana for the following day which we always take advantage of. The people-what can we say? It's why we come back here! Angela remembered us from 2021, no kidding, it was amazing, and she was someone we were looking forward to seeing as we had spent a lot of time with her in 2021. She is amazing! Then we saw Juan again, another favorite of ours! We just love his energy and his welcoming smile "every single day" and beyond...the pool servers-namely Jedric and Kevin-always with a smile and a conversation, the staff who get the beach/pool ready every day with a smile, the landscape crew, the housecleaning crew-namely Leoneda-she was always friendly and wanting to make sure everything was perfect with the room, and the concierge and the staff outside the resort welcoming us back every night and hailing taxis-they were so funny and so sweet, all these people collectively make this place what it is. I can't tell you enough how wonderful it was to see everyone and make some new friends, Danny, the assistant manager in training, we hope to see you next year and thank you to Rik, the resort manager who is a visible presence on property keeping the resort to the excellence we all enjoy! See you next May!
