With COVID looming on everyone's mind this year, travel seems impossible.

While Aruba is allowing americans guests, there are restrictions that might make it hard to consider. We were lucky enough to make it all work.

For starters, this beach feels near private, keeping us very far from others. Which is a true luxury on the beautiful Eagle Beach, but also, comforting now a days. From the second we stepped on property, we were treated well. From a welcome glass of champagne and a (quick) accommodating tour of the resort. We even had our dog with us, who was treated as well as us. I can't really cover how great this stay was, so I'm going to list the key parts that made my trip memorable.

1. Service: Madeline arranged for all of our (private) tours. She not only made it affordable, but talior made to our needs. Oscar, Mirna and Brandon served us well both on the beach and in the restaurants. Making it difficult to even leave the place.

2. Tara Suite: The rooms are modern, sleek and comfortable. Obviously we don't go to the beach to stay in the rooms, but in my experience, this is tough to find in Aruba.

3. Beach: This is arguably the "nicest" beach in Aruba. Bucuti & Tara brings an elegant, private and luxurious feel to it. When we were here, their new additions weren't even done and we were blown away.

4. Friendliness: I know this should be lumped with service, but it can't be. Even our puppy felt welcomed during our stay. The vibe of this entire place is not stiff, it is not red taped. It is welcoming and loving. Truly a unique place. From the guests to the employees.
