    Best of the Best

    We once again returned to Bucuti and Tara for one big reason: service. We have stayed at other high end properties on Aruba, but none compares regarding the personal service received at B&T. From the champagne and cold towel upon arrival, to the bottle of champagne, chocolates, cheese and packet of Aruba Aloe amenities in our room, Bucuti is second to none. The on property app allows for ease of reserving an umbrella, ordering food, reserving spa appointments to many other modern features. Ilove my grandchildren, but the “adults only” policy ensures are wonderfully quiet and relaxing atmosphere. This resort is also so honest and serves guests at the highest level of professionalism. The prices you are quoted include all fees and taxes…no hidden ”resort fees” or hidden taxes. What you see quoted is what you are charged, and parking is free. What you get at Bucuti and Tara is the epitome of customer-centered service that is simply unequaled.

    1st Trip here

    We stayed in the Tara suites. It was nice waking up and seeing the ocean. The Bucuti rooms aren't that far away, so if you choose a bucuti room to save a little money, you'll still be by everything. Room service- Top notch. The Best I've experienced. They were quick and efficient and pretty consistent on the time each day. Tip them. They also stop by every evening to see if you need anything... towels, hot tea, etc. It was great. Grocery orders- I took advantage of this twice. On time and will save you a little money, even with the $20 grocery fee. The 2nd time I sent in an order, on the day it arrived, I accidently put the little latch lock on the main door of our room so nobody could get in. The grocery delivery lady emailed me and said she couldn't get into the room. Naturally, I wasn't checking my email too often, but did happen to check it about an hour after she sent it. Right when I was about to reply to the email, the lady found me at the pool at the cabana I had reserved to ask if I could unlock the room. What great service. Anel was her name and she went above and beyond. Restaurants- The resort restaurant, Elements, was great. Of course service was top notch. We ate there only once. As most people do, took cabs to different places to eat. Always taxis availabe outside the resort and most cost between $10-$17 each way, depending where on the island you went. There are also many options within walking distance. My favorite was Pinchos at night or Wilemenia, Safety- The island is very safe. The resort is of course too. We saw females on jogs by themselves around the resort if that says anything. Overall, it was a very quiet and relaxing resort. The sandbar usually stayed open until about 11 PM at night. Our room was super close to the sandbar and not once did it get loud. The hot tub was maybe the only thing I would change. I get what the resort is about, but the solar powered hot tub was more like a kinda warm bathtub. Not a big deal, obviously. Maybe just don't be green with the hot tub. All the fake people millionaires in the world pushing us peasants to go green probably have crazy hot tubs that use a ton of energy. Maybe this resort can make an exception and just heat that thing! I get it, why in Aruba do you want to sit in a hot tub. I don't know, I love them and especially in the evening. Breakfast- There was a good selection and the workers were awesome. Tip omelet makers! They don't get any from the main BreakF tip jar
