The beds are wonderful and if you need anything they will accommodate. The breakfast is wonderful and included in your stay. Dinner at Elements was one of the best meals on the beach. We have been coming here for 20 years, stay other places but always come back here!

Great atmosphere, excellent friendly and attentive staff. Calm. More chairs than people. A great place to relax. The white sand beach is one of the nicest and the blue water can’t be beat. Breakfast everyday and afternoon drinks outside on the patio. The best!

Just returned from our 15th stay at Bucuti. I don't usually bother to review long-stablished places which already have such high ratings, as they don't need my "Amen." But I want to say that this place deserves every rave. The beach is the BEST, the staff is warm and helpful, and every moment is a pleasure. Somehow it improves every year.

Aruba has been on my bucket list for a long time and I finally scatched it off the list about three weeks ago. I took my Honey for a week stay for a Valentines Day celebration. We stayed in a Tara Suite on the third floor and the room and views were spectacular! Our room was spacious, clean, modern, updated, well decorated and very comfortable. I took advantage of the opportunity to have our room stocked with beverages and flowers prior to our arrival. I found that it was very easy and convenient to do on their website. I was contacted by my conceige Francisco a month or so prior to our booking and he was kind enough to recommend some very outstanding restaurants which he made reservations. Francisco additionally booked our transportation to/ from airport which was well worth the cost. We were thru the airport both times with speed and ease. Our stay at Bucuti and Tara was so relaxing and without any trouble nor worries. The entire staff we encountered were friendly, happy and professional. The grounds were well maintained and updated. We met so many couples that had been coming here for years; either every or every other year. The reviews I read here on TA are on mark and very accurate. The breakfast they served every morning 7- 11 am very substantial, delicious and the selections were expansive. The lunches we enjoyed at the bar were very good also. Robert, Greg and Karen were very good to us at the Sandbar. Make sure you have Robert make you a Slippery Monkey. I did not catch the name of the lovely lady that was located at the desk outside the Tara lounge, but she was so helpful and kind. She arranged a late check out time for us due to our transportation to airport was not until 2 pm. We are very grateful to the staff of Bucuti and Tara for pampering us and causing us to feel special and well cared for. Thank you. We will be back.

I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Aruba ... from the moment we arrived we were made to feel extra special and at home. The location, the facility, the food and drink, the amenities and most impressive of all, the people of Bucuti and Tara. A First Class operation throughout the property ... incredibly well-run ... and an experience for us that makes it impossible to checkout at the end of our visit without first having made reservations for next year. Bucuti and Tara is definitely an annual highlight of our travel year.

First time visiting Aruba, but we liked B&T so much we already booked this property again next year. If you’re looking for a calm and relaxing getaway this is the spot. The beach is peaceful and beautiful, the staff are pleasant and attentive. The on-premise restaurant is great especially at sunset. The spa was very nice! The location on the island is close enough to everything else when you want some adventure. We met a lot of people who had the financial means to travel anywhere and yet they keep coming back. That tells you a lot.

The concierges , Christopher and Angela were so helpful and never made me feel guilty for asking a million questions ! I love the beach chairs being so far apart with the app to obtain one even though there are more chairs than rooms . The sandbar was amazing - cool with fans and great lunches and elements had great breakfasts .lobed the massage with shout out to joellei and Edda

so when booking a resort/ hotel/ cruise etc. you have to find one that fits your personality . some may find us boring but the Bucuti and Tara fit us like an old sweatshirt. This place promises you and delivers on all aspects. we find it paradise. The rooms are immaculate and this place take it to the next level with a deep cleaning in the AM and refresh/ turn down service in the early PM. we love not having to get up at dawn to "reserve" an umbrella as you reserve your space the night before on the I pad they provide in your room. they space the umbrellas far enough apart that you do not feel cramped. We love how the resort does not offer weddings/ corporate outings or large groups. Again this keeps the resort very quiet. we love it. the breakfast is great, the staff is super friendly and overall my favorite place to stay not on the island but the world. Eagle beach is understandably rated one the best beaches in the world. also a nice benefit is the casino and small mall within walking distance. if you like to relax and not looking to go nuts this is the place for you

Another wonderful stay at Bucuti. Since finding this resort, we have abandoned all others and all other islands. Aside from the beauty, the amenities, and the food, the main reason we go back is the service and the most friendly staff i have encountered. From the staff the greets you at the curb, to the staff at the beach, every Bucuti staff member is a pleasure to deal with. In particular, on this most recent visit, i would love to specifically thank: Lincy Angela Karen Sidney Alexander Bernard

Our week in Aruba is the highlight of our year, and by Aruba, I mean Bucuti & Tara. This was our ninth year staying at the resort and, as always, was a perfect relaxing visit. The staff and service is exceptional. From breakfast to the Sandbar to Elements, the people who work there are all wonderful - many have been there every year we have stayed. We had an exceptionally good meal at Elements this year with Shazim as our waiter. He was very professional and friendly and made us laugh throughout our meal. Also loved seeing Juan and Nakarid and Rambo, Aldrick, Karen, Isreal, Gregg, Carlos and Robert and so appreciate their hard work and friendliness. We always stay in a standard room in Bucuti, and are really only in the room to change and sleep. The bed is so comfortable and the room is immaculate. It's not a really fancy room and I would say it could maybe use an update as it has stayed pretty much the same the whole time we've been there, but it is well appointed and, as I said, we're never in it much anyway. The beach is beautiful - can't be beat. The included breakfast is my favorite anywhere (I love all the tropical fruit!) and I always love to talk to Paco the parrot and pet his head. The only downside is the walk of shame to get lunch in our "real" clothes, suitcases backed, ready to go to the airport. Not much to be done about that. We have already booked for next year - Thank you for another perfect stay!

Fabulous resort, great beach and super staff. We had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be back. Food was great at Elements - breakfast lunch and dinner. Great bar service with super cocktails and a good selection of wine. Room was lovely and spacious and super clean. Evening turndown service was very welcome. Booking of sun beds on the room iPad was really great as we didn’t have to rush out with towels at dawn !!

The service, the view, and beach are superior at Bucuti and Tara. No better way to start the morning with a delicious breakfast overlooking Eagle Beach. A special shout out to Juan with his vibrant personality and attentive service “every single day.” After relaxing on the reserved lounge chairs and walking the pristine beach we had tasty lunches at the beach bar with the friendly and always there to please bar staff. Special thank you to Robert, Israel, and KAREN for your top notch service. Loved the espresso martinis at night under the starry skies! Edda delivered a superb couples beach massage and relaxing facial. Our dinner on the beach was spectacular with the amazing Aruba sunset and multi course dinner served by Yolanda. Another perfect vacation! Sad to leave but can’t wait to return!

Me and my wife stayed at Bucuti & Tara for five nights for our honeymoon and we felt pampered and taken care of the moment we stepped out of the taxi. The staff are all so friendly and accommodating, the food at Elements has a lot of variety for adventurous eaters and picky eaters alike. Being able to reserve and umbrella for the (gorgeous!) beach is a godsend for late sleepers. As an lgbt couple we felt so warmly welcomed (which was a concern when planning out where to go) and always felt as prioritized as any other guest. Christopher, our concierge, was so much fun and helped us quickly grasp how things worked at the hotel and in Aruba in general. Our servers at Elements, Nakarid, Yolanda, and more made sure we had meals we wouldn't forget. There is something magical about the island of Aruba, and Bucuti & Tara will give you the best of it!

Bucuti and Tara provided us with the BEST vacation so far in our lives! We came for our honeymoon, on arrival you are whisked away to your room with a glass of champagne, given a brief tour and rundown of the resort, Christopher helped us and was WONDERFUL and very helpful explaining how the resort works given it was our first visit. Breakfast was always delicious, staff was AMAZING and so helpful, always happy and smiling. Lounge chairs by the ocean were very comfortable, our room was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The staff at elements were really a stand out- funny and personable personalities with the upmost in professionalism. We WILL be coming back! If you are looking for a relaxing and tranquil trip with no children- THIS IS IT!!

If you’re looking for a peaceful, adults-only retreat where relaxation is the priority, we highly recommend Bucuti & Tara Resort. It’s the perfect place to unwind, with thoughtful amenities and top-notch service. What We Loved: • Perfect Room Comfort: The temperature was always just right, and the spacious rooms came stocked with high-quality aloe-based products. • Stress-Free Beach Experience: No need to rush for loungers! There are more than enough, and you can reserve yours the day before via an iPad in your room. • Seamless Beach Service: Your chairs are set up with towels before you arrive, and the flag system makes it easy to order food or drinks from Elements without leaving your seat. • Fantastic Breakfast: A free and plentiful buffet with à la carte options—plenty of variety to start the day right. • Friendly, Attentive Staff: Everyone goes above and beyond to make your stay enjoyable. • Great Pool & Hot Tub: Always clean, spacious, and never crowded. • Plenty of Water Stations: No need to worry about staying hydrated—the resort provides refillable water bottles and has convenient refill stations. • Helpful, Non-Pushy Concierge: They’ll assist in booking excursions if you want to explore, but there’s no pressure. • Nearby Conveniences: A casino is within walking distance, and there’s a rental car agency right next door. • Adults-Only & Quiet: A perfect escape for relaxation without noise or distractions. • Beautiful Beachfront Location: A long stretch of soft sand to explore and enjoy. • Well-Equipped Gym & Yoga on the Beach: Ideal for staying active while taking in the stunning surroundings. What Could Be Better: • The on-site store closes early, so if you need anything late at night, you’ll have to leave the resort. Overall: This is our absolute favorite hotel, and we’ve already booked our stay for next year. If you’re looking for a relaxing, luxurious, and stress-free experience in Aruba, Bucuti & Tara is the place to be!

It all begins with cold towels and champagne followed by a leisurely stroll to your room as your guide explains all about the hotel (if you are new to this small luxury hotel). Breakfast the next morning is amazing with anything you can think of (if you don’t see it just ask and they will do their best to make it for you). This hotel is made for those seeking quiet relaxation but with very attentive staff as you raise the red flag attached to your soft, cushy beach lounge in search of that refreshing Pina colada or those yummy hot French fries. There is no need to ever leave the resort if you so choose, Elements restaurant provides lots of choice and beautiful views. Lastly, our room was cleaned “top to bottom” each day, with a touch-up at the end of the day which included a different hot tea for two, a peaceful ending to a relaxing day (and we thank Mirna for keeping our room so very clean).

This is the first review I’ve put on Trip Advisor but felt I had to. We just had the most perfect vacation at Bucuti and Tara. We had high expectations before our visit based on all the great reviews and I have to say our expectations were exceeded. The staff was wonderful - the concierges, housekeeping, wait staff, bartenders; the beach is absolutely stunning; our room was perfect with a great ocean view; the breakfast, and other food at Elements, was excellent; the process for reserving beach umbrellas was very smooth; and of course the Aruba weather was great! We are returning next year with friends!
