Bucuti and Tara Beach Resorts

Daniel Healey

We had our honeymoon here in May and was blown away by everything. Service was top notch, from start to finish, Christopher was lovely showing us around with a glass of champagne on arrival. Room was very spacious, clean and the bed was very comfortable. The pool was always clean, and using the flag lounger service was brilliant. Using the sun lounger system was very easy, you do need to be quick if you want a front space, but we had no issues and had a front lounger a few times during our stay. Special thank you to Angela and Marianne who looked after us in the Tara and booked a few restaurants for us. Rachel was brilliant too and helped us book a few trips. The food was very good, definitely recommend the Bucuti bowl, and the drinks were some of the best we had on the island. Movie night was a nice touch too and they brought out snacks for us. We will definitely be coming back, and would like to thank them for making our honeymoon so special.

Just returned from an incredible stay at Bucuti & Tara. Everything was top-notch — peaceful, clean, and perfectly run. The resort feels like a true escape, ideal for relaxing and recharging. What stood out most was Elements Restaurant — easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had on vacation. Every meal was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. The beachfront setting just made it even better. Highly recommend for couples looking for a quiet, high-quality getaway in Aruba.

My husband and I just got home from our honeymoon stay at Bucuti and Tara, and we couldn’t have loved it more! We loved how helpful the hotel staff were, from the second we arrived they were there to answer questions and make sure our stay was amazing. Everyone was so kind to us and always said hi when we walked by. Our room was great, the bed was extremely comfortable and we loved the hotel amenities such as free reusable water bottles, complimentary champagne, and a washer a dryer available to use for free. Breakfast was so nice each morning and the servers went above and beyond. We liked the assortment of wellness shots and juices, and the omelette station. The beach chairs were soo comfortable, and we loved the umbrella reservation system. Some days we forgot to reserve an umbrella at 5 pm, but even when we reserved one hours later, we still got one pretty close to the front. We loved the happy hour on mocktails and smoothies and got one every day between 3-4. We appreciated that Bucuti and Tara is transparent with who they cater to and doesn’t try to please everyone- we were looking for a quiet and relaxing experience away from crowds and big groups. This resort was perfect for the quiet and relaxing honeymoon we were looking for, while still being able to venture out to explore the island and try other experiences and restaurants. There are coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance, and then it is super easy to get a taxi to explore other parts of the island. The reviews for Bucuti and Tara speak for themselves, and I can see why people return- we will definitely be coming back!!

This resort was exceptional. The rooms were very clean. The sheets on the bed were white and pristine. The bed was very comfortable. This resort is on the beach steps away from the water. The private beach chairs were comfortable and the environment was so calm and welcoming. The service on the beach was made so easy and the workers were so professional and kind. This resort is truly a gem. They make everything so accessible and easy from being able to bring groceries to your room to having someone call you a cab right outside the resort doors. They really lived up to Aruba being one happy island.

The minimum stay requirement really brings this down now. This was our favorite place to visit for a quick getaway, but that’s no longer an option with 5 and 7 night minimums. Wish the team would have more options given this is adults only.
