Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts Review

An extraordinary beach setting, impeccably understated service, and attention to detail help this elegant Green Globe resort easily outclass anything else on the island. Hacienda-style buildings are surrounded by ecologically sensitive landscaping that suits this desertlike island. Rooms are done in cool creams and feature walnut furnishings; everything feels distinctly modern and European. The Tara Suites have unbeatable beach and sunset vistas. This hotel is very popular with return visitors, so book early, as it is frequently sold out in high season.

Absolutely Wonderful!

We stayed in the Tara wing first week in March and loved everything about this resort. The beach was excellent the view from our balcony was perfect (our room was perfect), the staff were all friendly and helpful. (feather pillows would be a nice addition, my only complaint...but who goes here to sleep?!)

Perfect little getaway

Bucuti is a flawlessly keep property on beautiful Eagle Beach The friendliest most polite staff I have encountered. My wife and I stayed at the Tara Suites though a bit small for a suite the room was beautifully decorated and we had a incredible view of the Eagle beach.
Bucuit offers a great alternative to the high rise hotels and we defiantly will stay there again on our next visit to Aruba
I would not recommend getting the meal plan. The Pirate Nest is fair at best but with so many great restaurants on the island it does not matter. Just get the breakfast plan. They provide a very nice continental breakfast located in the Tara Suite.

Low-key and Lovely

My husband and I recently spent a week at Bucuti for our one year anniversary and loved it. We stayed in the Tara Suites - the rooms were spacious, clean and very nice. We were steps from the beach. Staff is wonderful. We especially liked how much more quiet/lowkey Bucuti was compared to the big resorts on the strip which we visited some nights. Also like the no-children policy at Tara Suites - I do think this is a draw giventhe many other family friendly resorts. I hope Bucuti sticks with "dscouraging" guests to bring their children.
