Jun 20, 2025Truly Amazing!
This was our first time in Aruba and at Bucuti & Tara. We chose the resort because of amazing recommendations from some friends. They were so right!! This place is amazing. The resort itself is beautiful. The rooms are exactly as pictured and so comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay and are already planning to come back because we didn't get to do all we had hoped - we had a jam packed schedule. There are so many things to do on the island.

Always and Constantly The Best Resort in Aruba.
We have stayed a week at Bucuti for the past 9 years and when they say “welcome home “ they mean it. From Danny, Rick, Angela, Nora, Kelly and all the reservations team to housekeeping to all the waitstaff at Elements and the daytime staff including Nakaret and “Every Single Day” Juan, you feel like you’re always welcome and among friends. The atmosphere and hospitality are unmatched and unique to this Leeds listed Ecosystem concerned resort. Next year we are extending our stay.

Best Service Ever!
Had the best experience as my wife and I were at resort to celebrate my birthday. From planning of our trip to arrival Fatima was a great concierge, and Margerita was a wonderful and breath of fresh air also. Every single person we encountered was wonderful and helpful. I have no desire to book at any other resort on the island. Thank you to the entire staff, even those that we did not have an opportunity to have full interactions with enough for me to capture their names. Pilates was great, massages were great, dinner at Element was great and breakfast buffett was also highly enjoyable.
