Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

We had a great babymoon at Bucuti and Tara. We truly feel that we likely found the best non-all inclusive and definitely the best beach in Aruba. Eagle Beach was quiet and beautiful. We loved having beach chairs and umbrellas reserved for us each day. We liked Elements but didn’t feel as excited about trying food for lunch and dinner as we had hoped. We loved Terra and would have eaten there every night if we could. We had a nice room, but unfortunately we came during renovations so we weren’t able to get an updated room but had to deal with some noise. We loved the tea turndown service each night - the maid would tidy up the room and turn down the bed and lights and refresh the room. That was one of my favorite services through the trip! We also loved being on the ground level floor to be able to walk outside. We had a great couples massage on the beach for a very reasonable cost. The free wellness classes were a highlight and a nice perk we were able to utilize. We went to Pilates classes, a coffee scrub class, a mocktail class and a strength and conditioning class. We love that they care about sustainability and quality. Overall, we’d recommend the hotel to people looking for a quiet retreat, with options like free breakfast (which had good options!! Especially for gluten free people), and people looking to be on the best beach in the Caribbean!

Amazing staff, location, and food options. We barely left the resort, everything we wanted was already there!

My wife and I were celebrating our 25th anniversary and wanted a restful vacation in a beautiful location. I read reviews about Bucuti and Tara and knew we would have good service and the pictures were beautiful! However, we have never been anywhere where service was this exceptional. These were the most friendly, accommodating and exceptional people I have ever encountered anywhere in the world we've ever traveled. The employees greeted us every day, all day with friendly personal service. The staff, especially in dining, knew who we were and why we were there. They went out of the way to make our 25th anniversary vacation exceptional. We have never felt more pampered. The rest of our experience was just as exceptional. Our room was beautiful and spacious and any need we had, for more towels or hangers for example, were addressed immediately. The beach chair reservation process was simple and we never failed to get a decent seat. (Honestly, there aren't any bad seats). Service at the beach was wonderful. We put up a flag and were magically served snacks and drinks. Sometimes they brought cool towels which was very refreshing in the Aruban heat. The beach itself was breathtaking, turquoise water that was crystal clear, white sand and just enough wind to keep you cool. The best part of the beach was the peace and tranquility. We wanted a restful vacation in an environment without loud music or kids screaming. This beach did not disappoint. I've never been anywhere so beautiful. Purun spa is full service and on sight and we were able to enjoy attentive and exceptional service there as well. Finally, in the halls to the rooms there were little hanging placards saying "Happy Anniversary" "Happy Honeymoon" for example. But the most prevalent placard said "Welcome Back!" There were guests there that had stayed at Bucuti and Tara over and over! Now we know why and we will be back as soon as we can! I can't emphasize enough how wonderful this stay, this staff and this resort was and how pampered and welcome they made us feel. It was perfect!!

As a lady who appreciates the finer things in life, Bucuti & Tara Resort truly exceeded my expectations. It is the perfect blend of wellness and fitness, comfort, natural beauty, luxury, zen, relaxation, and tranquility. Every detail created an atmosphere that made it incredibly easy to unwind, recharge, and truly nourish the soul. The location on Eagle Beach offers seclusion from the hustle and bustle which was truly phenomenal. If I ever return to Aruba, I would book Bucuti & Tara again without a second thought. It was everything I could have wanted in a tropical escape—and more! *I went as a solo female traveler and would 1000% recommend it to other solo female travelers as Bucuti and Tara Resort offered me a beautiful and safe travel destination.

Bucuti never fails, from the second you step on their pristine premises you confirm you are staying at the best of the best. Bucuti’s entire staff are incredible and make you feel at home with everything they do. It is the only place we know that we will return to every year without fail. Thank you to Angela, Maddie, Wagner, Rik, Aisha, Beverly, Nakarid, Carlos, Tis, Aldrick, Robert, Juan, Karen, and the entire staff for making Bucuti our home away from home. We love and look forward to seeing you again soon.
