Bucuti Beach Resort and TARA Suites Reviews

Beautiful resort ..wonderful service.
The rooms at Bucuti were very disappointing but the Tara suite is exceptional...worth the extra cost ..
Food is delicious and The chef catered to my husband s dietary restrictions daily . Everyone took very good care of us.The gym is first class and the weather in Aruba is perfect .I can see why 60% of the people are returning guests .There is also a large European clientele which makes it nice.The beach is magnificent and not crowded...stay here instead of at the crowded area with the high rise hotels ..... if you want to relax and be pampered .Very upscale and older crowd ..no noise, and no loud drunken people at the bar .Just first class ,all the way .

We were 2 years ago, I still remember as my the best vacation ever, very nice customer service, rooms is amazing, you have almost private beach....amazing, i would like to go back soon...:)

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.

Wonderful hotel right on the beach
You felt very comfortable

Excellent resort, with beach and excellent services. Only note maybe not up to the Elements restaurant

We had a fabulous time at B&T resort. Some of the highlights:
- One of the best on-resort restaurants we have ever experienced. Portions were huge, quality was amazing. Lots of healthy options.
- Beachside service was friendly and prompt.
- We never had to fight to get loungers on the beach, even "claiming" as late as 10am.
- Concierge presented many great options for excursions and never let us down with non-touristy dining options.

The resort itself is on a private stretch of Eagle beach. It was calm, not crowded, soft sand. We had been told by many that it was the island's best beach and did not disappoint.

One of our pictures is from room 306, a Tara Beach Suite, allowing us to walk out of our room (which was nice, clean, well appointed, albeit it not huge) straight to the beach, bar and restaurant.

The most amazing resort! Beaches are gorgeous, the food and drinks are delectable, and the entire staff is friendly, helpful and the reason you want to come back!

We loved our stay at Bucuti and Tara. Everything was perfect, the weather, the beach, the resort. Highly recommended.

The resort was modern and clean but what really stood out was the staff. The employees make it their mission to put a smile on your face and are incredibly hard working.
Oscar and Brandon made sure that we were looked after at the beach. We highly appreciated both of them, Brandon was literally running from one place to the other to make sure guests didn t wait long.

John at the bar was super nice and great to talk to. Laura greeted us with a smile at breakfast every morning. All staff was great.

We LOVED that it was adults only too. Please don t ever change that.

We met many guests that returned many times and we understand why. We definitely want to come back to Aruba and there is no other place where we d want to stay.

The hotel, the beach but especially the service is absolutely great.

Just got back and already planning on coming back. The staff and your hospitality were fantastic. Can not stop thinking of our awesome time. Your resort was just what we were looking for. The beach and sunsets were breathtaking. We also had the Romantic Dinner on the beach. One word Fabulous. Can not wait for our next visit. Darlene and Steve Trice

This stay has been nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend the Tara Suite for the view!

Seriously one of the most amazing resorts we have ever stayed in. Amazing service, modern rooms with plenty of space, smart tvs, very clean, beautiful beachfront.

Staff always very kind, obsessive attention to detail. Angela was always present trying to satisfy all our requests. The perfect honeymoon

A nice place, really quiet, for people without children. Staff is really nice. Beach is marvelous and the beach furniture are really good. Restaurant and bar not so great.

Outstanding. We would not think of staying any where else.

Bucuti & Tara is the most stay place when visiting Aruba. Adults only. It s pricey but 100% worth the experience!

Great hotel, located on one of Aruba's most beautiful beaches, is well maintained and very well equipped. The staff is always friendly and helpful no matter who you ask. It is also very quiet because not all day a music sound is running. I would come back here anytime.

3rd time....just gets better..

Service...service...servise

Too much good to say. From beginning to end just five star service all the way. Most people will go on and on about the facilities and the amazing Eagle Beach and rightfully so, but I came away more impressed with the staff and their professionalism and kindness than any Beach or attraction on the island. Already planning for another stay next Christmas. Like they say one happy island! And my main man Juan says, "everyday, all the time.

I love Aruba, and Eagle beach is amongst the very best of the beaches I've been fortunate to experience. Bucuti and Tara, situated on the magnificent Eagle Beach, provides outstanding service. The whole resort is top notch, the food is excellent, and if you're a beach person , you're going to love the fact that they have more beach umbrellas than rooms! I'll definitely be returning to this paradise!!!!

Fantastic adult only resort. We enjoyed a fabulous vacation there!

Truly paradise. Expensive but exactly like the pictures you would see of the caribbean.

Boutique resort done very well. Beautiful grounds maintenance. Professional staff. Amenities appropriate and always nicer than most: beach grooming and spacing of chairs/umbrellas; cleanliness of the gym and pool; spread for breakfast was tasty and tasteful; policy of always having more chairs on the beach than people in the resort). It was relaxing. After seeing some of the massive resorts further down, with dense people and packed beaches, we were even more glad to be at Bucuti and Tara.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars. This place is amazing!! I was there on my honeymoon and it was such a fantastic place to relax. If I go back to Aruba it's definitely the only place I'd want to stay.

We loved this very small and quiet boutique, adult only resort. We never had a problem getting a chair and umbrella by the pool or beach. We decided if we wanted the craziness of the Palm Beach high rise area we could go visit it and come back to our quiet place. We stayed in a bungalow and absolutely LOVED it. We were just steps to the beach and pool. We will come back. Most people we talked to have stayed here before and are back for a 2nd or more visit.

All the research I did led us to this perfect little gem for our honeymoon. Bucuti and Tara was PERFECT for our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about this place. Every cab driver we had said we picked the best hotel on the island for our honeymoon and I couldn't agree more. Thank you Bucuti and Tara!! We will definitely be back. Some of the people we would like to recognize/honor are: Madeline, our concierge. She was nothing short of AMAZING and worked with us to get the best excursions but also the best seats in the house for our daily dinners. And, the treats sent to our room were super appreciated!! Also, thank you, Madeline, for the best room that Bucuti and Tara has!! That corner room provided the best views from not only our balcony, but the room itself. 341 is now our special number!!
Next is Vincent, the server for our palapa on the beach. We looked forward to seeing him each day. Super friendly and super funny!! Thank you, Vincent, for the big smiles you gave us each day. And the bartenders, thank you for the specialty Purple Rain drinks. They were super YUMMY!!
We would also like to thank Angie at the towel hut. Though our towels were always provided in our palapa, she greeted us with a huge smile every day. Her sweetness and smile just lit up our every day. And, the handmade picture frame was so super sweet.
We cannot forget the 2 ladies at breakfast each morning, Natasha, (and I forget the other girls name.) We were welcomed every morning with their friendly smiles and always ready to make us special treats like the Dutch pancakes, omelets, waffles, etc. Great way to start our every day. The complimentary breakfast you provided every day was amazing. We have never had such an extensive variety at a complimentary breakfast. Even the vegan options were great.
EVERY staff member at this resort was super friendly and accommodating!! Family owned and run is the way to go. It is exactly what we wanted. Thank you Bucuti and Tara for the honeymoon we dreamed of!! Love two happy honeymooners, Donna & Jessica

Amazing staff, quiet laid back resort that we come to year after year. Would recommend to any that are looking for a no children experience as this resort is adults only.

Sensational beach, super friendly staff and great rooms (suites), very good food

Great dinner refreshed by the caribbean winds! Very kind and efficient waiters.

Wonderful dining experience at Senses Restaurant... the food & service was excellent!

Dreamlike!
We couldn't have visited a better place for our honeymoon. The staff is more than friendly, the rooms great and clean, the food delicious and the beach the most beautiful I've ever seen! :-)
Everyone tried hard to give us a perfect stay.
We hope that we will have the opportunity to visit this paradise again in this great hotel!
Thank you for the great time!

The top of relaxation and romance. Located on the most beautiful beach of Aruba this Resort will pamper you like no one else can.

Once you stay here, you will never want to stay anywhere else! Besides the fact that the Resort is beautiful and immaculate, it is an atmosphere for relaxation. They offer many spa amenities and the staff were so friendly and attentive to your every need. It was my 25th wedding anniversary and my husband and I will definitely return.

Quiet place....very relaxing. Good restaurants on site, spacious beach frontage and staff is spectacular.

Loved the spa there. Had an amazing massage and facial! Would highly recommend.

Excellent place, unbeatable the warmth and attention of its group of collaborators. Nakary in his restaurant is very special. Definitely if you are looking for comfort, sobriety and Peace, this is the
Place!

Situated right on Manchebo beach along the Palm-Eagle beach corridor, it is a fantastic resort with adults- only amenities and impeccable service.

Gorgeous and beautiful resort. Definitely worth the price. Great place for anniversaries, honeymoons and couple getaways.

The place was very good with perfect attention and a beautiful beach.

Simply top .. thank you Mr. Biemans ... I've also been living under the palm trees in Venezuela for 30 years! Bite again soon !!

Bookings could be more organized. Aruba is awesome tho

The place was just "meh" for $500 a night. It was nice, but not $500 nice, in my opinion.

It was a wonderful holiday! Big thanks to all the staff, which made this wonderful holiday possible. Warm welcome and you felt at home. Food, rooms, great beach and the beach chairs every day with towels prepared. The cleanliness of the whole area was excellent. We would like to come again. A small, very clean island where you can feel good and relax immediately. Thanks for the nice time, we enjoyed every day. Wolfgang and Kerstin

absolutely love this place. we cant wait to come back!!

A dream honeymoon .. fifteen days as a princess .. staff always present and attentive to every need, paradise resort

Very nice hotel. Everything is maintained nicely. The workers treat you with respect. The beach is beautiful. Wish the drink prices were a little bit cheaper.

A gorgeous location with every amenity you could want, perfectly times happy hours, and very friendly people!

Great staff..so we'll run..great happy hour..going back ASAP

Highly recommended. Clean, great food, super friendly staff. Equipped and paradisiacal beach.

Fantastic, 5 star experience. Wonderful, welcoming staff make you feel like family every day. Wonderful breakfast each day at their amazing restaurant Elements. Clean, upscale, modern finishing in the rooms and all over resort. Beach is beautiful- white sand, blue water, calm. A healthy hour to try delicious mocktails daily. State of the art gym as well. All in all - Bucuti was 10/10 - we can t wait to come back.

Awesome experience at Bucuti & Tara. Everyone there is super nice and helpful. You really can't make the place any better. Can't wait to come back!

Hands down one of the most amazing resorts I have ever stayed at. It s small and quaint, which was perfect for my wife and I s honeymoon. From the moment we got out of the cab we were immediately greeted by three members of the resort, who were all so friendly and kind. They took our bags and greeted us with a glass of champagne! We were blown away by the service! Then James checked us in and walked us around the grounds and to our room explaining how everything works. Again the service and happy attitude everyone has here is unreal! You can t help but smile the entire time you are here! James checked in on us a few times throughout the week we stayed here and made us feel very welcome the entire time. In the mornings we enjoyed a great breakfast on the Elements restaurant deck enjoying getting to talk with the staff and get to know everyone. It really felt like we were family here! Juan stood out to us and made us laugh and smile every morning with his singing and happy remarks. He always joked with us and had a funny comment. I wish we could start every morning with his positive and friendly attitude! Usually after breakfast we went to lay on the great beach chairs that we so comfortable and shaded by an umbrella. Vincent came to greet us almost every day and took care of us as if we were celebrities. He was there for us and was quick to get any request we asked of him. He told us a saying that we now will adopt into our lives going forward as it was so touching. Three things to remember when you leave me today he would always say. Be happy, be smiley, be romantic and you will be happy happy every day! I can rave about this resort for hours, it was wonderful! We will for sure be back! If you haven t been, you must, you will be amazed! Everyone here is so awesome! Stay here an experience real pure happiness! Happy island!

Have you fixed the defects on the canopy at the Aussenbar? Otherwise we would be satisfied. Sincerely, Andreas von Lieres and Wilkau

Best hotel i've ever been to, great food, great service and an amazing beach...

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! WELL WORTH THE $$$!!! the staff is super friendly. Service was impeccable!

We just got home! This was our 6th time in aruba and the first time to stay here. It was the closest thing to heaven. They treat you so special from the time you enter to the time you depart. Most relaxing vacation we have ever had and will definitely recommend coming here!

Great location, very quiet beach, and facing the sunset. The resort is amazing, many people are friendly and always willing to help. It certainly deserves the award of one of the most romantic hotels in the world received by tripadvisor.

The best care I have received in a long time in hotels. The facilities are super well maintained and the breakfast is spectacular. It's a bit expensive for the level of rooms you have.

Lovely hotel. Super friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Simply perfect!!
We spent our honeymoon at the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. Nothing more spectacular. Fantastic resort, breathtaking view. Friendly staff always available, smiling and happy "happy happy" ready to meet our every need. We could not have chosen better. Greetings to all the Bucuti & Tara staff

Very nice quiet place with beautiful ocean and no seaweeds! Excellent service with good food on top if it. God willing we'll be back.

I have never stayed at another resort that was so genuinely warm and welcoming to its guests. The staff becomes your friends at this resort and everyone has a smile on their face when they see you for breakfast every morning. Bucuti and Tara is located on eagle beach which is centrally located on the island just 15-20 minutes from the airport and is an easy taxi ride to the rest of the attractions around Aruba. Its away from the highrise hotels in Aruba that can be loud and crowded. It is a private, couples retreat where they treat you like royalty. I was truly sad to leave and was given a hug goodbye from all of the staff. Bucuti and Tara is on the highest level of service and friendliness on the entire island. It is a must stay and should be on everyone's bucket list! When you are greeted by Frank at the front door and shown to your room by Alexandra and served your first "Bob Marley" drink by Karen the bartender, you will think you've died and gone to heaven!

This is a resort on a different level, of the kind you will always want to return to.
It is evident that in every detail in the resort every thought has been invested in every detail. The hotel engraved on its banner the preservation of the environment, in almost every parameter.
The rooms are spacious, the cleanliness and order are meticulous. The king size beds are very comfortable !!!
The resort is of the highest standard, high quality, fun, delightful and pampering.
The resort staff caters to all, is welcoming and provides excellent service.
The breakfast is rich, varied, delicious and provides a solution for all guests (both vegans and vegetarians among you).
Excellent gym, equipped with full equipment, not crowded, spacious enough with all the accompanying service ... Open to all hotel guests, fun to do fitness in such an atmosphere.
Another little thing, I got to see a lot of hotels, this is the first hotel where I see the staff perform quality control of the food served at breakfast (temperature, quality, quantity and more), clean the aisles, and the rooms several times a day
To sum up: a luxurious, pampering resort of the highest standard. Worth every penny you invest in it.
Highly recommended for lovers of calm and quiet and comfort!

I can't say enough good about this resort. Just...wow. It is perfectly as advertised, and our stay could not have been better. From the very first contact with staff, to the very last, everyone was wonderful and accommodating, super friendly at every turn. Our room was comfortable, the grounds were beautiful, and the beach chairs and umbrellas were exactly what we wanted in paradise. Highly recommended - we didn't want to leave, and will most certainly be back!

Definitely worth a visit. Everyone is very friendly and helpful and the facility is very clean. The one thing that bothered me though, was the amount of USA Americans onsite. I felt like I was in USA again with all the screaming and yelling at every meal. The worst part was how people attacked the buffet thinking the restaurant would run out of food. If you can get over loud Americans everywhere, then it can be very romantic. A suggestion for the hotel: it would be helpful to provide a bus schedule for the guests who do not mind taking public transportation as the bus stop does not have any information at all. Not even the name of the bus stop. The gym facility is quite new, air conditioned and has free weights. When I was there, they also got a new addition of kettle bells and dumb bells. Sunday is the best day for breakfast as they serve traditional food. Most people do not know what arepas are nor do they know passion fruit and maracuja, so more food for those who know! As everything is imported to the island, food and drink prices are not cheap, but are reasonable. Everyone speaks English and other languages like Dutch, Spanish, Italian, Papiamento, German, etc. which is really helpful. All in all, I would recommend this hotel as it is quiet as no children are allowed and it is not an all inclusive. The front desk colleagues are very helpful and will assist your every need. Highly recommended!

Brilliant beach section, rooms in the back tan partly outdated.

We honeymooned here and it was amazing. All staff is very friendly, helpful, and prompt. It is situated on Eagle Beach which has gorgeous white sands and blue seas. You reserve an umbrella which is yours all day on the beach and they bring you food and drink. Buffet breakfast is included. There is a Sand Bar on the beach, Elements their main restaurant, and Senses which is a small reservation only Chef's table experience. All in all I would highly recommend for your honeymoon experience!

The structure is specifically designed for honeymooners or anniversaries. Top services and staff. I stayed in the tara suite, ocean view, priceless. It would be nice to come back one day ...

If you are someone who likes tranquility is the ideal place

I do not have a "career" as frequenter of resorts, usually I always kept them away from my perfect holiday, from here but I honestly would not want to go out, I would never want to leave. The pure ideal Caribbean experience, the staff that leaks happiness from every pore, and may not inevitably be infected. A resort that is its wonderful simplicity as its strong point with a huge beach to embrace him, to raise the heart beat just looking at it, a blue to get lost and get excited. I can not say any more to choose this place, because that's how it should be, and I would swear that this is the best place in this small happy island.

The staff is so friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the beach is so beautiful. The rooms were very clean and the bed was so comfortable. The attention to every detail is obvious and it is easy to see that they strive to create a wonderful experience for the guests.
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort has also been the leading Resort in the region for years when it comes to sustainability. Compliment goes to all employees for their environment-friendly organization.
