Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Bucuti and Tara. This was one of our favorite trips we have ever taken and the resort was a huge part of that. We stayed in one of the Tara suites and had a walk out to the beach. The beach is truly the star of the show: peaceful, beautiful, and easy to enjoy every day. We especially liked the beach chair reservation system which made the day feel calm and stress-free. The resort itself is quiet in the best possible way and it was exactly what we were looking for. The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone we encountered was kind, thoughtful, and helpful. We also loved the restaurants, especially Terra, and even cancelled a reservation elsewhere so we could eat there again. The team also made it easy to arrange cabs when we went off property for dinner. One thing that meant the most to us: we felt genuinely welcomed as a gay couple. That is very important to us and we do not always feel that way when we travel. At Bucuti and Tara, and everywhere we went in Aruba, we felt safe, comfortable, and fully welcomed. We also did the resort’s sunset cruise which was lovely. It was a beautiful evening and we enjoyed meeting other guests. This resort is calm, elegant, warm, and beautifully run. It gave us exactly the vacation we needed and we are hoping to come back!

This was hands down the most relaxing vacation we have ever had. Bucuti sets the gold standard for quiet luxury, especially if you value your privacy and peace. Here is why this resort is truly exceptional: 1. Flawless Service: The staff provides masterful anticipatory and intuitive service. They read your needs perfectly and think of everything before you do, yet they remain completely unobtrusive and never crowd your space. 2. The Beach: This is easily the most beautiful beach we have ever seen. It has to be the widest beach on the island. The white sand and turquoise water are breathtaking. 3. True Privacy: The massive layout of the beach club is a game-changer. There is generous space between the umbrellas, giving you total privacy to unwind without hearing your neighbors. 4. Outstanding Beach Service: The beach food and beverage service is outstanding. Refreshing drinks and delicious bites arrive right to your chair seamlessly. 5. Great Dining: Beyond the beach, the overall food at the resort is great. Every meal was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared. 6. We connected with Nora from their concierge team to organize a few things before we arrived and that turned out to be a great decision and added to our ability to enjoy the beach. She is knowledgeable, organized, and made great suggestions that enhanced our stay. We honeymooned here and have returned for anniversaries as well as birthdays. Any occasion or no occasion at all is a fabulous reason to stay at The Bucuti.

Unforgettable experience, like most people who stay here we booked our return trip for next year during our stay. The staff is incredible and the stay is so relaxing.

Bucuti is top notch for an adults only resort in Aruba. The service is over the top and the location is prime. We will be back!

Ok so I wish it were true and my husband and I just stayed here this past June. But we actually stayed there for our honeymoon June 2023. I never got a chance to write a review but I always wanted to for it was absolute perfection. PERFECT HONEYMOON spot! The resort was perfect. Inviting. Welcoming. Everyone wildly friendly. The environment was relaxing and quiet and romantic. Eagle Beach was a dream! Wayyyyy better than Palm Beach. We visited that area on our stay and couldn’t wait to get back to our sanctuary at the Bucuti! I don’t think we would have enjoyed Aruba as much if it wasn’t for where we stayed. We did excursions and saw the other side of the island. Loved that too! My husband and I long to be back at the Bucuti for the morning breakfast right on the eagle beach ! Our absolute favorite. We loved eating at Elements for dinner too. Our room was perfect. QUIET! It’s rare to stay in a hotel where you can’t hear people in the hallway. We were in a Tara suite. So worth it!! Anyways we want to come back so bad. One day we will! It was the best honeymoon. We had so much fun exploring the island and relaxing at the best resort there! Thank you so much Bucuti for a perfect honeymoon that we look back on and cherish.
