    Top Shelf Luxury Hotel

    Aruba has been on my bucket list for a long time and I finally scatched it off the list about three weeks ago. I took my Honey for a week stay for a Valentines Day celebration. We stayed in a Tara Suite on the third floor and the room and views were spectacular! Our room was spacious, clean, modern, updated, well decorated and very comfortable. I took advantage of the opportunity to have our room stocked with beverages and flowers prior to our arrival. I found that it was very easy and convenient to do on their website. I was contacted by my conceige Francisco a month or so prior to our booking and he was kind enough to recommend some very outstanding restaurants which he made reservations. Francisco additionally booked our transportation to/ from airport which was well worth the cost. We were thru the airport both times with speed and ease. Our stay at Bucuti and Tara was so relaxing and without any trouble nor worries. The entire staff we encountered were friendly, happy and professional. The grounds were well maintained and updated. We met so many couples that had been coming here for years; either every or every other year. The reviews I read here on TA are on mark and very accurate. The breakfast they served every morning 7- 11 am very substantial, delicious and the selections were expansive. The lunches we enjoyed at the bar were very good also. Robert, Greg and Karen were very good to us at the Sandbar. Make sure you have Robert make you a Slippery Monkey. I did not catch the name of the lovely lady that was located at the desk outside the Tara lounge, but she was so helpful and kind. She arranged a late check out time for us due to our transportation to airport was not until 2 pm. We are very grateful to the staff of Bucuti and Tara for pampering us and causing us to feel special and well cared for. Thank you. We will be back.

    Our 4th time visiting

    When you’re looking for the place to escape the grip of winter, this is the place. Small, private and a place designed to help you relax and getaway. Beautiful boutique hotel, not ostentatious yet classy and comfortable. Adults only which gives the place a certain peace. Everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly. It’s no wonder why we return to Bucuti and Tara.

    Another Perfect Stay at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort Aruba

    I can't imagine staying anywhere else in Aruba ... from the moment we arrived we were made to feel extra special and at home. The location, the facility, the food and drink, the amenities and most impressive of all, the people of Bucuti and Tara. A First Class operation throughout the property ... incredibly well-run ... and an experience for us that makes it impossible to checkout at the end of our visit without first having made reservations for next year. Bucuti and Tara is definitely an annual highlight of our travel year.

    So great we already booked for next year.

    First time visiting Aruba, but we liked B&T so much we already booked this property again next year. If you’re looking for a calm and relaxing getaway this is the spot. The beach is peaceful and beautiful, the staff are pleasant and attentive. The on-premise restaurant is great especially at sunset. The spa was very nice! The location on the island is close enough to everything else when you want some adventure. We met a lot of people who had the financial means to travel anywhere and yet they keep coming back. That tells you a lot.
