Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

Just came back from our babymoon here and had the most amazing week. The hotel is beautiful with easy access to the beach and pool, and zero worry about getting a beach chair. The staff goes out of their way at every turn to make it a memorable experience. We booked our return trip from the comfort of our beach chair!

We go the VIP Arrival transfer to the Resort worth every penny. Our escort met us as we exited the Airplane. Go us through Customs and to the car in less than 5 minutes. Everything at the resort was 1st class. We will be coming Back

Lovely contemporary Tara suites, great wellness programs and concierge services, but the hotel overall was not for us. The resort is at the heart of Eagle Beach and an easy taxi ride (taxis are great) to anywhere to eat. Elements and Tara breakfast restaurant was subpar at best with food quality and presentation. Shaksuka eggs smothered in red pepper soup, dinners were Holiday Inn quality (no offense), just not the standard you would expect at this price point. Shrimp cocktail was a prime example. There are so many dinner options on the island, it didn't really matter in the end. The beach (Eagle Beach) is outstanding, however the serenity is lacking. Face timing patrons, loud business calls on the beach, TVs at the beach bar, a small pool with echoing accoustics, plenty of sirens and the odd 45 minute midday generator test, do not make for quiet beach time. There is no Caribbean feel here whatsoever, it is essentially a blend of Florida and Arizona with a beautiful white sand beach, and great wellness amenties. Were it not for the wellness component, you are better off saving a lot of money and renting a condo across the street There is no evening musical entertainment for couples wishing to dance a little, only movie night under the stars which can be OK if you happen to like the movie. Do not book any of the four cottage suites unless you want to enjoy your patio right next to public walkways, the entrance to the Tara building and best of all the washrooms separating two of those suites from the pool. Who designed this??? Without any nightly entertainment and subpar food, it is only the staff and wellness that draws you here as the beach is public access with plenty of space. I'm sure the resort appeals to many, but it's a one off for us.

Bucuti and Tara thought of everything possible to make this a relaxing and beautiful stay. Staff was amazing, food was delicious, beach was gorgeous! We cannot wait to book our next trip here!

The resort is very nice. It provides for all your needs including great food choices at each meal. The beach is beautiful, the staff is great and willing to help make your stay wonderful. If you want to relax and be pampered this is the place to go.
