Mar 14, 2025A Perfect Vacation
This is the first review I’ve put on Trip Advisor but felt I had to. We just had the most perfect vacation at Bucuti and Tara. We had high expectations before our visit based on all the great reviews and I have to say our expectations were exceeded. The staff was wonderful - the concierges, housekeeping, wait staff, bartenders; the beach is absolutely stunning; our room was perfect with a great ocean view; the breakfast, and other food at Elements, was excellent; the process for reserving beach umbrellas was very smooth; and of course the Aruba weather was great! We are returning next year with friends!

Best hotel on the Beach
Best beach and hotel on the Island! The staff, Karen, Juan, Rambo,Israel, Greg are all amazing, You truly feel special here! Even Paco the parrot always greets you! The beds are wonderful and if you need anything they will accommodate. The breakfast is wonderful and included in your stay. Dinner at Elements was one of the best meals on the beach. We have been coming here for 20 years, stay other places but always come back here!

Great vacation
Great atmosphere, excellent friendly and attentive staff. Calm. More chairs than people. A great place to relax. The white sand beach is one of the nicest and the blue water can’t be beat. Breakfast everyday and afternoon drinks outside on the patio. The best!
