Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

Having stayed here on a previous occasion we could not wait to return. Everything about this Hotel / Resort meets or exceeds our expectations and we will be returning again some time soon. Staff go above and beyond to make your whole experience the best that it can be being attentive at all times. The resort is very well maintained inside and out, not a thing out of place. We like the "Sustainability" credentials that they have achieved, if only other hotels took this issue just as seriously. For those who have not yet visited, do not fear... Rooms are spacious, clean, with modern facilities including an iPad to order all necessary services including booking your beach umbrella, restaurant and wellness classes plus much more, could not be easier. The beach is beautiful, soft white sand for miles and not over crowded, the sea temperature was 28'C during our stay. Restaurants, any discerning palette would appreciate the food on the menu, whether a three course meal at the "Terra" a pleasant evening at the "Elements" or light bite at the "Sandbar" Highly recommended.

Loved our stay-within 2 days we were already discussing coming back. Now that we know the “The lay of the land”, we can take advantage of much more that Aruba has to offer. We plan on coming with friends next time-

My husband and I have gone to Aruba annually for 26 years. We tried different resorts for the first few years before "discovering" Bucuti, and now, we don't even think of going anywhere else. I cannot think of anything to put on a "needs improvement" list. The place is immaculate inside and out, and the staff is friendly and responsive to every request. The waitresses in the breakfast area know our names by day two! The early morning yoga and spa services are a lovely touch. We rarely go off-site to eat, as the dining options (from the breakfast offering to the beach bar to the upscale restaurant options) keep us happy and able to just hang out and enjoy what we go to Aruba for - the sun, the beach, the water, and taking a "time out" from the rest of world. The attention that Bucuti pays to its carbon footprint pushes it way over the top of the list.

Our first visit to Aruba could not have gone any better, and our choice to stay at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort was one of the reasons. The staff was so warm and welcoming. We had an issue with misplaced luggage before we arrived at Bucuti and the General Manager and staff went out of their way to resolve the issue very quickly. The beach was clean, relaxing, service was excellent. I am terrible with remembering names but every person we encountered was so friendly and kind. We chose a Tara Suite for our room and it exceeded expectations in every way. Comfortable, spacious and what a view to the beach and ocean! We loved our time at Bucuti & Tara and can't wait to go back!

My husband and I had a wonderful week at the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort in Aruba. The resort is exactly what we were hoping for: quiet, beautiful, small, uncrowded, with a magnificent beach and lovely facilities. The food was excellent. We enjoyed the included breakfast each morning. The Elements restaurant has a great menu, and the Sandbar has the best burgers and drinks. We loved hanging out there in the evening, listening to the live music which they had every night. We tried their upscale Tera restaurant for dinner and were not disappointed — everything was fabulous. Definitely worth booking dinner there at least one night. Other things we really liked: the wifi was great, fast and reliable, which is often a problem at resorts, we've found. The bed was extremely comfortable (and we are very picky about mattresses). And the beach/pool lounge chairs are extremely comfortable, all have thick cushions, and can be reserved the night before from the resort's app. I was always able to get a chair with shade, which I need. The resort's location is perfect. It's not far from the airport/close to the main town and also not far from the larger resorts, if you want to check them out. We went to several different restaurants for dinner and they were all fabulous (Olivia and Oak were two favorites). Finally, the staff at Bucuti & Tara are very friendly and helpful.
