Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort

The entire experience at Bucuti and Tara from top to bottom is incredible. The concierge is incredibly helpful. Both Madeline and Angela and their entire team were ready to assist in in anything we might need, from reservations to recommendations, and even a friendly chat when passing by. The accommodations are top of the line. The Tara Suite feels immaculate and clean the views are outstanding and the bed is very comfortable. Housekeeping is on top of their game! Eagle beach has the softest white sand beaches, and Bucuti has very comfortable lounge chairs. Service on the beach is fast! The pool is newly renovated I heard and it shows. Gorgeous. The restaurant and bar area is very comfortable and the quality and service is amazing. Cannot wait to go back many more times!

My husband and I had a wonderful, repeat vacation at B&T! Initially skeptical due to concerns with COVID, reviews from others about safety protocols at B&T were extremely helpful, so we went. Airport wasn't too busy. Process took about half an hour to exit. Arrived at B&T, it was impressive that many of the staff remembered us. All staff wear masks. Inside the now open air lobby, we received hand sanitizer, a social distance cool face towel, and glass of champagne. We had a non-touch check in and taken to our sealed room. Breakfasts are always fabulous! At the Tara is a buffet. Pick out what you want and it is placed on a tray that you take to a table inside or out. Breakfast at Elements is ala carte. You are given a sanitized tablet with a seal.; plenty of menu choices. Staff take your order, food is delivered on trays and placed on stands next to your table. Never had a problem getting chairs on the beach. Most nights we ate at the Sandbar. Chairs are spaced out from others but we could have conversations. We were surprised to find many of the local establishments around B&T closed, but did go to dinners outside at Matthews & Twist of Flavors. Took part in beach clean up. Went to outside movie nights. Much care has been put into place to keep visitors safe at B&T; very impressed. Many signs throughout the property for social distancing. Hand sanitizers on the property and in the rooms. If you're looking for a quiet, caring, SAFE place for vacation, go to Bucuti & Tara!

We absolutely love this resort. This was our third time traveling here in one year. This time we traveled (Sep 2020) during the COVID-19 pandemic. We were impressed with the amount of care and focus mgmt. put into cleanliness and safety protocols. We felt comfortable in all aspects - from contactless dining to the sanitation in our room. Honestly, we felt safer at this resort (and in Aruba) compared to the USA in terms of COVID. This resort wouldn't be the best in Aruba without its amazing staff. Shout-out to: Luis & Brandon as they pampered us and made sure we were happy and comfortable at the beach; Vincent as he took great care of us at Elements (lunch); Nakarid for starting our mornings with a smile and great convo; Frank for always the warm welcomes; and Karen for the making the best smoothies, cocktails, and conversations. This is a 5-start resort because they know how to listen to their customers know how to adapt! Our only request for next time is to have more menu items during the day for snacks. During our stay, it was only french fries; but what about a hummus & veggie spread, nachos, baked pretzels, chips and salsa, or a cheese platter? We left feeling like family. We will absolutely come back for a 4th time!
