Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

Spent 6 nights here. Reception was great. Madeline greeted us and gave us the lay of the land. Luggage was zipped away to our room and we were at elements sipping a drink within 10 minutes of arrival. - Bucuti room 237 - amazing ocean views and right by stairs making going to the beach super easy. Room setup was nice - liked the tea service and welcome snacks / champagne for our retirement celebration - Madeline suggested a sunset sail for our second night and it was amazing. She also helped organize our dinner reservations so we could go to Azar that night. In addition, she landed us a Terra reservation which was amazing. What we loved… - Beach - Lounges and service - Tara lounge for breakfast and coffee all day long - Mocktail activity - Movie on the beach Meh….to bad… - Lack of activities - just a few morning yoga, workouts but nothing else. - Tempur pedic bed was terrible for me - suffered through back pain for the week Suggestions: - more movie nights - more couple / relaxing activities - offer some other bed options - besides firm topper. Overall happy with the trip, I can see why Bucuti is so loved. It’s a quiet troop and good reset. If looking for more fun, look elsewhere.

Great customer service, nice clean facility, quiet environment for no kids vacation. Good food & drinks but fairly pricey

Staying at Bucuti & Tara was the very best decision for our Aruba vacation!! The resort exudes a high level of relaxation, from the kind & overly accommodating staff, stunning beach, perfect sunset views from our chaise lounges each evening, incredible food and cocktails, complimentary morning yoga classes, commitment to the island (as a carbon neutral resort), impeccable cleanliness in the room & around the resort, and more. Everything about Bucuti & Tara feels zen -- no spaces ever felt overcrowded or loud. We appreciated staying on Eagle Beach, and having quick taxi/walking access to the action at Palm Beach. We will 100% go back!

A very good visit with a few important points for future travelers: -- I would not do the "fast track" greeting service. At $350 it was not worth it. You only save time on taxi line...and taxi cost is $40 -- the food at elements was good. The breakfast was very good...and lunches at the bar very good...the dinner at Elements was good but not great. -- highly recommend TERRA restaurant....simply outstanding. --overall service also very good. Concierge people were very helpful -- the Sunset Sail was also very good... fun time by all. -- be on top of the resort app...where you reserve beach chairs at 5 pm each night for the next day OVERALL....a very nice resort

The resort was beautiful, and that word doesn’t do it justice. Absolutely perfect. Fantastic. Stunning. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful or welcoming. First trip to Aruba. Not only will we be back to the island, we will be back to Bucuti & Tara. If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing location, look no further!
