Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

The Chief Ambassador of Bucuti Tara and Resort says it best: "One happy Island every single day. Who say NO! You will be surprise that whatever you asked for he makes sure that nobody says NO!

This is our fourth stay at Bucuti and Tara and the only place we will stay when visiting Aruba! Bucuti is a beautiful, well cared for resort with the most amazing staff, who become beloved friends. In addition, Bucuti has achieved the highest level of sustainability, a shining example of commitment. Eagle beach is the best, and Bucuti offers plenty of chairs and umbrellas for all guests and the ability to reserve your chairs for the next day makes for greater relaxation. Elements restaurant and the Sandbar are excellent and adult only. The newest restaurant, Terra, is beautiful, intimate and the food is incredible ... not to be missed! Bucuti also has many wellness options that can be explored on the website.

The location of this resort is excellent. The property is beautifully maintained and the staff were friendly and welcoming. Many restaurants, convenience store (The Market) , shopping mall and restaurants within neighbouring resorts all within a short walking distance. The beach is amazing, the water was a bit rougher than we are used to so if you’re not a strong swimmer you may prefer the pool area. There are more than enough beach loungers and the reservation system through the iPad located in your room is perfect. I knew that all beaches in Aruba are public. However, I wasn’t aware of the public access area between Manchebo Beach Resort and Bucuti and Tara Resort. You will notice children and locals in that area and on the beach in front of the resort. The bed was very comfortable and the service from the moment we arrived was excellent. My husband and I celebrated our anniversary and stayed in room 253 (top floor, had a partial view of the ocean from our balcony ). Thank you for the champagne, cheese, crackers and cookies upon our arrival! Breakfast was wonderful each morning with a beautiful view of the beach and great service. Bathroom had Aruba Aloe shampoo, conditioner, soap and moisturizing lotion. Typically I do not use the products provided by the resorts I stay at, but found these products great. I could have left my products at home! The resort was quiet and very relaxing. This is not an inexpensive resort but worth it if you want to be directly on the beach, do not want to worry about beach chairs, and have the ability to walk to many restaurants and shopping. We did take a taxi downtown (Oranjestad) for a shopping day. Taxis were not consistent in their pricing …always ask them for a price beforehand. We decided against renting a vehicle as we did not feel comfortable driving in another country ( fast paced driving, no traffic lights or stop signs in Aruba-all roundabouts ) We opted to focus on relaxing on the beach most days. Although there are many day trips and tours offered through the hotel. (Cash payments for taxis, and any tours you book to third party providers). There were 2 washers and 2 dryers available for use should you need to do laundry. The filtered water stations had the best tasting water! And we loved our complimentary stainless steel reusable water bottles. El Patio mexican restaurant had a great authentic mexican ambiance and the best margaritas, Twist of Flavour was another favourite restaurant (loved the greek salad with chicken!), and the Fusion Restaurant wine & Piano Bar had the best burgers as well as premium mixed drinks along with live music! All in all we had a great vacation and would recommend Bucuti and Tara Resort to anyone who prefers a quiet, relaxing Caribbean vacation.

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
