Jun 17, 2025Would love to keep Bucuti a secret
This resort is amazing! Quiet, intimate and peaceful. Everything my husband and I were looking for after planning a wedding for a year, all we wanted to do was relax on a beach with a drink to celebrate our honeymoon. From the moment we stepped foot on Bucuti we were welcomed with a glass of champagne and escorted to our room and given all the info we needed for our stay. The rooms are clean and supplied with everything you need. Beds are comfy, and the room is kept at a nice comfortable temp. The food is amazing and the drinks are tasty. If you are a gym head they have top of the line rouge equipment and it’s fully stocked. My husband and I both got massages and if you are looking for a nice deep tissue massage Judith is your girl! Honestly, we barely left the resort and I’m not mad about it! There was no need too, bc we had everything we needed. A comfy beach chair, food and drinks on the beach and some sunblock. Thank you again for an amazing stay!

Amazing resort!
This was our first time in Aruba and we have no doubt that Bucuti & Tara was the best resort on the Island! The food, resort, and staff were all amazing! Highly recommend this resort to everyone and hope to be back in the future!

Location and Service Excellence
We thoroughly enjoyed our 7-day stay. The service and hotel location were excellent. The complimentary breakfast was everything you could ask for in a convenient and delicious breakfast. High marks to the beach attendants who provided quick and courteous service. The quality of food at Elements Restaurant was also excellent. Our only issue was the handicapped bathroom in our room. We were not told of the until after we checked in and were led to our room. In fairness, once we mentioned the handicapped bath the hotel offered to move us the next day to a room on the second floor with a standard bath. Unfortunately, since we were already settled and unpacked in our room, we declined the offer since we did not feel like packing up again.

Awesome hotel in a breathtaking setting!
Bucuti & Tara is an amazing hotel in a gorgeous setting right on the ocean. The staff is as friendly and accommodating as I’ve ever experienced. The proximity to a variety of restaurants is also a big plus as most places are a ten minute can ride or less. If you want the perfect relaxing getaway then this is the ideal spot. Highly recommend it!
