Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

Karen is a beautiful women inside and out. If you want to meet her come to the Sandbar, she is the host, manager, entertainer and jack of all trades. She makes everyone, with all the personality feel special and welcomed. She makes our experience at Bucuti & Tara at the Sandbar always elevated. We never need anything and have everything. It is amazing that from all the guest she is very endearingly called Karen. She is part of the unique and special experience of Bucuti & Tara that we have been lucky enough to visit for the past several years and will continue to moving forward with the wonderful facility and amazing staff.

Wow, what a trip. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort really blew us away! From the second we got there, we knew we were in for something special. Everything about this place was top-notch—beautiful beach, spotless resort, and the friendliest staff you could ask for. The beach is incredible. It’s so private and peaceful, and they have everything set up for comfort. The chairs were spaced out so you get privacy, but still right there to enjoy the ocean view. The beach staff kept us taken care of, bringing drinks and little treats throughout the day. Seriously, they thought of everything. The whole vibe was just so relaxing and effortless. Breakfast was SO good—totally exceeded our expectations, especially since it was included in our stay. Every morning we had a ton of fresh options to choose from. Honestly, the food and drinks all around were amazing, and we never had a bad meal. But honestly, the staff here is what makes Bucuti & Tara stand out. Every single person was super friendly, helpful, and just made you feel at home. We’d get a “Good Morning” from everyone, no matter who they were from the cleaning staff to the concierge. It felt like everyone was truly invested in making sure we had a great time. The place is super clean too. You don’t really notice the cleaning staff at work, but it’s clear they’re doing an awesome job. Everything’s kept pristine without you ever feeling like someone’s watching over you. We’re already talking about coming back. It’s honestly hard to find a place that nails everything like this resort did. If you’re looking for a chill, beautiful, and seriously amazing place to stay, Bucuti & Tara is it!

We just returned from a ten day trip to the resort. It would be impossible for me to recommend it any higher. From the moment we arrived we were treated like family. There wasn't one person on staff that didn't greet us every time we encountered them. The resort is beautiful with a true world-class beach. Many places in Aruba force you to fight for umbrellas; not at Bucuti and Tara. There are more set ups than there are units. Everyone is guaranteed a spot. The included breakfast is a great way to start the day. We have already confirmed for December of 2026 and 2027!!!

Just returned from a lovely week's stay at Bucuti & Tara. We are repeat annual customers and would not stay anywhere else on the island. It is so nice to see the same repeat vacationers every year and that in itself speaks volumes. You truly feel like you are at your home away from home. We were greated by Nora, our concierge, and Rik came out to welcome us back again. The Resort is spotless, the beach/ocean was the best it has ever been, easy in and easy out. We totally lucked out on having such a great week of weather. The only slight bump in the road was the mattress in our room and on day 5 I was talking to another couple at breakfast that were saying the same thing and the conversation was joined in by a lovely member of the breakfast crew who must have mentioned it to someone in housekeeping because that night when we returned to our room we noticed there was a mattress topper/pad put on our bed. That helped quite a bit. Shame on me for not saying anything earlier in the week. I have said it time and time again, this is the place to stay if you want to get some serious R&R and that is exactly what we needed. 2026 & 2027 are already booked! Thank you again, The McCarthy's

Relaxing vacation , great location on Eagle Beach. Good value that Includes a great breakfast. The staff is awesome. There is a culture that strives for excellent customer service! Adult only resort, with plenty of lounge chairs on beach. No need to wake up at sunrise to obtain a spot on beach!
