    Highly Recommend - A Very Nice Place

    Stayed for six nights in early January. A very special place. Very quiet. Beautiful view of the sea. Beautiful beach. Best organized cabana/umbrella system that we have ever seen at a beach resort. Gym is large enough and very well equipped. Spa treatments were good. Had breakfast every morning at Elements and dinners there twice. Food and service were both excellent. Concierge was very helpful and the tuck shop is well stocked.

    A Wonderful Stay

    We stayed for a week over new years and had an outstanding experience. The Tara Suite is amazing, the staff is friendly and provides top notch service. Eagle Beach is wide and not crowded at the hotel. The resort is quiet and peaceful since no one under 18 can stay there. We had a fantastic time and have already booked our next trip!

    Amazing Vacation!!!

    This was our 3rd visit to Bucuti and we cannot wait for the next one!!!! From the minute you arrive to the moment your taxi pulls away heading back to the airport, service is nothing less than amazing!!!! We arrived early and Angela was kind enough to have our luggage held so we could enjoy the day. When we returned later in the day to check in, we were greeted with a cold towel and champagne!! Our room was ready and our luggage was brought right up to our room. The room was clean and well maintained throughout the week. It was very nice to be welcomed back with cheese and crackers, cookies, champagne and Aruba Aloe products. Breakfast is the best way to start the day. It’s a beautiful view of the ocean and the staff is so friendly. Rambo and Juan are the best!!! The ocean was a little rough this year so we spent our days by the pool. It’s so easy to reserve a beach/pool chair for the next day and there is more than enough spots for everyone. Love the new pool chairs!!! We love relaxing at the end of the day at the SandBar. The bartenders are really wonderful, Israel, Karen, Carlos and Kevin (I think) are fantastic. I was disappointed to see my favorite martini no longer on the menu, Celebrity Martini, however, the bartenders were happy to make them for me all week!!! The bar food is so good!!!! We love the spring rolls, quesadilla and the burger is outstanding!!!! Our favorite thing is the music by the bar in the evening!!! We became friendly with Reg, who plays guitar there on Friday nights. He is so talented and we enjoying listening to him play!! I do wish the music still went till 10:00. It was nice going to the bar for a night cap after dinner and hearing the music til 10:00. Please considering extending that time as well and bringing back some sort of happy hour. I’d also like to give a big thank you to Christopher for arranging our rental car for the few days prior to our stay at Bucuti. The most beautiful place, the most beautiful beach and the most relaxing week of the year!!! Thank you to the entire staff for making us feel welcomed and at home! We have already reserved for 2025 & 2026…we cannot wait to return!!!

    Another Great Stay at Bucuti and Tara!

    When you’re greeted with a glass of champagne as you step out of your cab, you know you’re off to a great start! The level of service is top notch throughout our stay. Everyone is helpful, friendly and you can tell happy to be there. It shows! Daily breakfast has many diverse offerings from waffles and omelets to cereals , fruits and juices. We had dinner at Elements which has great ocean views and delicious food to match. No one is ever rushed. We also took a break from the beach and had lunch there a few times during the week. We simply love the umbrella reservation process. Hassle and stress free. Just click on your room iPad each day at 5p to reserve your spot on the beach for the next day. The beach is beautiful and well maintained. The resort feels very relaxed and uncrowded throughout our stay despite it being virtually sold out. This was our 4th visit at this amazing resort. Can’t wait to be back next year!
