This resort had everything we could have wanted. Quiet, peaceful luxury with a support staff to ensure your every wish was accommodated. The food was outstanding, offering many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten free options. The location was spectacular with a romantic beach vibe. We will definitely be back!

The staff is exceptional. Customer service and satisfaction is clearly the utmost importance at this property. The room in the Tara suite was gorgeous. Walked right out into the beach which was heaven for us. Bucuti and Tara focus on a tranquil relaxing pampering experience. It’s not the party zone of Palm beach, yet it’s a short taxi ride to go party and dine and then come back to peace ! It’s exactly what we wanted and needed. There are two amazing restaurants and a beach bar. Yoga and other classes available as well as massages in the beach. It was a perfect vacation !

If you are looking for peace and quiet you've come to the right place. The rooms are comfortable and clean and also have a fridge and microwave. Fyi, there is no room service. The staff are very friendly and Paco the parrot is hilarious. Breakfast is included as well as free parking. No need to rush down to get a chair and umbrella, you can book online in your room or on a app. You basically have the waters of the beach to yourself here. Hardly anyone was in the water during my stay. The restaurants can be a bit pricey but worth it imo. However there are other walkable nearby restaurants and a small shopping village to pick up necessities within 5 minutes. For all you degenerates there's also a small casino nearby. But if you are looking for a party atmosphere this is not the place

Pros: beautiful beach. A great staff. So kind and helpful. Having a separate seating area in the room is a plus. Concierge is top notch. Great bed.

Cons: worst food of my life. We stopped eating there after the first day. Useless hot tub that’s never hot. The pool is tiny and hidden away behind a building. Makes you feel like you’re at a bad condo not an ocean front resort. Absolutely ridiculous. No point in ever using it. The service at the beach was unacceptably slow. Our room was never cleaned by end of day. The shower leaked and kept us up at night. This is not a luxury resort. We were terribly disappointed. Do not believe the hype that this is a top honeymoon location. It felt like a bad senior citizens home.

No waiting for umbrellas or service…there are always people to help you and always space on this beautiful uncrowded beach. I can’t say enough about this gem on a quiet slice of Eagle Beach. Don’t miss a delicious dinner at Elements restaurant…again with impeccable service.

Beautiful resort. extremely calm. included breakfast is awesome. Service is outstanding - better than most 5stars resorts like Ritz. The beach is fantastic, much quieter and beautiful than Palm Beach. Rooms were ok, nothing luxury but had everything needed. Massages were really not great - only disappointment of our stay with them. Felt like both massage therapist had never done that before. Average age quite old on the resort, not a lot of people below 50 years old. Overall, very great experience, would go back anytime. Renting a car to travel around was a must but not needed since their location is very central and everything easy with taxis. Great resort overall!!!!

Love Bucuti and Tara

We had an amazing time in Aruba and we greatly enjoyed our stay at Bucuti and Tara. The hotel is for adults only and it was lovely to enjoy the amenities peacefully and to enjoy a gorgeous beach in calm and serenity. The beach bar was excellent and the bartenders and service were very friendly. The breakfast at Tara Lounge was scrumptious. We felt very welcome and the concierge service was phenomenal.

3rd visit to Bucuti & Tara-lucky us!! (5th visit to \"One Happy Island\" but once we found this place we are totally spoiled) -immaculate, friendly, safe, peaceful and aaaah- with perfect location right on long/wide and gorgeous Eagle Beach! Even lovely pool is quiet!
It's quiet although lively at same time- with the most wonderful employees- almost all of whom seem to really enjoy their jobs (adults only and non smoking-except in 2 designated/remote locations adds to that R&R stress free vibe.Altho their 2 dining venues (Elements and Senses) and its fun Sand Bar-guests only with local acoustic music at happy hour(s)- offer great food and drinks/wines etc. , many casual and upscale restaurants are within easy (5-45 minutes) walking distance- nice for folks like us that prefer not to rent a car. Clean/safe walking area btw day & eve.
Also short walks to shops, Alhambra Casino (not our thing but within a block) and less than 10 minute cab ride to either downtown Oranjestad (more 👍 restaurants, etc.) or Palm Beach (with louder bars & plenty of watersports, but more crowded beach areas). Our 10 day visit perfect; as usual met lots of nice -mostly also repeat- guests at Bucuti. Oh and you have your own comfy and well spaced lounge chairs & umbrella & table each day on beach (with no limit on how long you are \"allowed\" to leave them to take a long walk and/or have lunch before your belongings are removed)-smiling service there too if you raise your flag! Fab place. Thx B&T!

Best hotel in Aruba

Truly the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Everyone, from the doormen to the cleaning staff, and concierge is extremely helpful and friendly from the second you walk in, throughout your entire stay. The 24/7 concierge is also there to plan any activity you wish to have on the island, at any time. Free umbrellas and cabanas can be rented out for the entire day seamlessly though your provided iPad that has all of your trip information uploaded. Plentiful and strong WiFi around the property also. Eco friendly, clean, comfy accommodations, purified air conditioned rooms, personalized and friendly, and the most amazing staff one could dream of. The fact that it is adults only makes it that much better. You sometime feel like you’re the only person staying there, no children or rowdy adults or crowds of people meandering around. Additionally, Senses is one of the best chefs table restaurants in the island, with an amazingly inventive chef and knowledgeable sommelier. This hotel will make you feel like a king or queen the entire time. I highly recommend staying here if you want the best hotel that Aruba has to offer.

PERFECT PLACE TO ENJOY ARUBA

THE most relaxing and peaceful vacation. We stayed for 1 week in July, 2021, and although the resort was nearly at capacity, we could not tell. There was always an employee available should you have any questions or needed assistance, and they were always courteous with a smile! Chair reservations were online, and therefor all guests had their choice of where they chose to enjoy their day. Restaurants were busy, but you never had to wait and the food was excellent! An all around excellent experience and we are currently booking a return visit for October as well as next year! This is THE PLACE to stay in Aruba!

Very high staff to guest ratio and every single staff person is happy, engaging, and service oriented. They personify the Aruba theme of “One Happy Island”. The facility is private, the beach is beautiful, the water perfect. Excellent food and beverages. Very nice gym. We will go back!

We arrived home from spending a week at Bucuti in June. It lived up to and surpassed all expectations.

We stayed at Bucuti around 4 years ago and decided post vaccine it was a great place to return to.

Rooms are spotless, beach is so clean and spacious, food is tasty, and location on the island is where you want to be. Low rise area is much quieter than the high rise.

Two staff members that made our trip were Angela and Margarita (sorry i know this not the spelling :) ) in the Tara suite breakfast. Every morning they worked so hard taking care of everyone. Omelletes, dutch pancakes, cappuccinos, oatmeal, etc. nicest people and was a great start to every day.

Beach service was very good as well.

If I had to say one critique it would be the new menu at Sandbar. Menu lacks the basic light salad choices or more options. I’m not a very picky eater, but just surprised some basic wraps or a few salads arent on there.

All in all, it was a tremendous stay. We absolutely loved it and caught every sunset before dinner sitting on those comfy couches.

Aruba is ready for visitors and very safe. Nicest people too.

Reach out if you have any questions.

By far the best resort on Aruba, period. It's quiet, clean, staff are amazing and the location on Eagle Beach is far away from the mass people either downtown or in Palm Beach -both only about 10 minutes either direction.

I stayed here on a solo vacation for 10 days - it was a big splurge but I am so glad I did it! Breakfast every morning was amazing and the wellness activities onsite were fun and appreciated. *Next door at Manchebo Bay Resort is an outdoor yoga studio with classes in the morning or at night.

I had a slight medical emergency during my stay and within 2 minutes of calling the front desk they had the doctor call me who prescribed me topical antibiotics I picked up 5 minutes later at the Pharmacy thats 2 blocks away - Phenomenal Service!

The Tara Suite is nice and spacious. The Spa offers massages and facials, they can even do nails although I didnt partake in nails onsite.

Elements Resturant was delicious and the Beach Bar Food you can order from your Umbrella is perfect. I did not try Senses Resturant as I made other dinner reservations each night but I heard from other guests that Senses is an amazing experience.

Everyone I met and interacted with at the Bucuti Resort or on any of the Excursions was amazing - I even met a local, Mike, who does private tours and is amazing - I cant recommend him enough - find him on Instagram: Amazonmike

Overall, Bucuti and Tara did not disappoint - it is an excellent choice, I had an amazing stay here. Do it!!
