This is hands down the best resort in the island. The experience in curated for its guests to experience the best service they can get. Facilities are outstanding and their staff is top notch.

Fifth time to Aruba but our first visit to Bucuti. We will not stay anywhere else for future visits. Eagle Beach is truly one of a kind. So big and beautiful and not crowded at all. This place really understands what it means to serve people. We stayed in the Tara Suite 1st floor. Not sure how we lucked out and got the 1st floor, but we were thankful. We enjoyed looking out our window when in the room. Shout out to the beach attendants. They were amazing! You put up the flag and they were there in seconds and would return quickly as well. They have so many team members working there on the property that you never waited for anything. They seem like one big happy family. Loved that breakfast is included and the umbrella reservation system is genius! Way better than others we have experienced in Aruba. Don’t worry, if you can’t get front row, they have the chairs spaced out so perfectly that you can still get a good shot at the water. I don’t think I have ever come home from a vacation feeling so rested. Oh and don’t miss out on the walking trail. We took our daily walks to Palm Beach and back for exercise. We would say every morning….so glad we chose Bucuti & Tara!! Already dreaming about our next visit.

This was our fourth trip to Bucuti and Tara and we have reservations for the next two years. We have always enjoyed this resort and will continue to do so. The service and food quality in their restaurants Elements and Terra are fantastic. We dined at each once during our week long stay. Their included breakfast features a multiple item buffet as well as omelette and waffle service. Several meats, cheeses and fruits available, in addition to scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, eggs made to order, etc. very good. You can also order from a specialty menu. I ordered the Eggs Benedict, which comes with either Canadian bacon or smoked salmon. They also have a good variety of Gluten Free breads and donuts, as well as waffles. Staff are all friendly and anxious to please. You can reserve a beach umbrella and loungers each evening at 5 for the following day with an in room iPad, which can be used to make spa and other reservations. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her spa treatments during the week. We also participated in Yoga and Tai Chi on the beach we well as a Mindfulness Beach Walk and Mocktail Mixing Class, all of which were included. We had a fantastic week of great meals, excellent service, plenty of rest and relaxation. We look forward to next year. If you are looking for a luxurious adults only resort, this place is for you. Refurnished rooms coming in 2027. We got Deluxe Oceanview this year, and have the same reserved for the next two years.

Our stay at Bucuti & Tara was absolutely amazing from start to finish. Every single staff member was incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment we stepped out of our taxi until the day we departed. The level of hospitality here truly stands out. This hotel goes above and beyond with all the thoughtful touches — cold towels upon arrival, nightly tea time, and staff bringing around cold towels and fresh fruit on the beach made the experience feel so luxurious and relaxing. The breakfast was phenomenal, and the drinks were spectacular as well. My only complaint would be the location of our room. We were next to the hallway door leading outside, and every time the door opened or closed, you could hear it. Starting around 6:30am until nearly midnight, it became pretty noticeable. That being said, our room also had an incredible view of the property, so it was definitely a trade-off. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would absolutely recommend Bucuti & Tara to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing Aruba vacation. We cannot wait to come back!
