Hotel Overview
The Bucuti Beach Resort and Tara Beach Suites offer 63 guestrooms in a three-story building set back from the beach, and 41 suites in a five-story beachfront building (smoke-free). Enjoy complimentary WiFi throughout the resort.
Fresh local ingredients, a fusion of delicious flavors, and warm and gracious service create a memorable culinary experience. The stylish beachfront setting offers you the opportunity to enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the lapping waves of the ocean, and relax in the modern lounge-like atmosphere. The restaurant offers an extensive American buffet breakfast as well as a varied a la carte lunch menu. In the evenings, diners can expect fresh seafood and juicy prime steaks on the dinner menu. The restaurant manager would be happy to help you make a selection from the eclectic wine list, with many by-the-glass options.
Feel the day-to-day stress slip away when pampering yourself at the Intermezzo Spa, and work out in the fitness center while enjoying a tropical view. The air-conditioned facility is well equipped with free weights, spin-bikes, treadmills, step machines, rowing machines, and more.
Freshwater swimming is available in a 50-by-25-foot pool. The sundeck is furnished with lounges, umbrella tables, and a spa tub. This Aruba resort's beach frontage measures 200 yards wide and 150 yards deep, and features 71 widely spaced thatched-roof shades. Non-motorized watersports, including parasailing, snorkeling, and scuba diving are available farther north on Eagle Beach, which stretches about one-and-a-half miles. The atmosphere is relaxed and gracious, and the lighthearted ambiance perfectly captures both the Aruban spirit and the Caribbean region's unique style and flair.

Dec 26, 2024Was Everything the Bucuti and Tara Website Said it Was (and Was Not)
Stayed for five nights in mid-December. The hotel was extremely clean and well maintained. The hall floors and common areas were continuously cleaned. The room had a dehumidifier that took out a bucket a day water and hence the room had no smell (or bugs) whatever. Turned the dehumidifier off at night. The expanse of the beach is amazing and great for walking along the water. Used SFP 60. The beach chairs had comfortable thick cushions and umbrellas and are well apart from others. No music noise at the beach area and pool. The included breakfast was very good with eggs being cooked as you want. The buffet had everything. Did leave housekeeping 20 dollars a day. Book more than a year, in advance to get the dates and room you want.

An amazing reason to come back!
This was a perfect resort for adult relaxation during our first (not last!) time in Aruba. The staff is outstanding on every account! We love their mission of being sustainable, while also offering a luxury setting. Their pack for a purpose program also spoke to us - love we can give back to the community when we are enjoying our vacation. Breakfast each morning was plentiful and we ate on the patio overlooking the ocean. All the staff are great-Juan was so friendly each morning we felt like we had been coming there forever. We also had dinner twice there (reviewed on Elements) and loved the beachside bar service by just flipping a flag up on your chair. Chairs and umbrellas are plentiful and comfortable - and spread apart from others. Once you reserve the night before, they are set up with lounge chair covers and towels for you in the morning. We also had a lovely couples massage and I had a facial which was heavenly. I also took an excellent Pilates class- just couldn’t get myself up for the complimentary 7 am classes. We are already booked for 2026!

Great Place to Relax
As always my husband and I had a great experience staying at BUCUTI and Tara. As we arrived Lorenzo greeted with a big smile and took our luggage’s to our bedroom while we enjoyed the champagne 🍾 at the reception. Christian explained everything that we should know and took us to our hotel room. Breakfast is always our favorite meal, just excellent, lots of fruits, gluten free options, omelette done the way you want, fresh juices, coffee… Frendly staff, even during the renovation they know how to handle their jobs, Nakaride, Juan (every single day) Rambo… The housekeepers Jasmine and Colleen, very professional and friendly. At the bar, everyone is very friendly especially Karen. Ignacio always very helpful, great guy. At the “beach towel station, Beverly” always greeted us with a big smile. My husband and I needed to change some money Fatima helped us, We were so glad for the service. At the gym we had two wonderful people and knowledgeable personal trainers, Natalie and Bjorn. At dinner time we met for the first time Janice, she was just amazing, a great professional and very friendly. And finally Nicolas ,Wagner and Rick the manager. Excellent, hard working and making the difference at Bucuti and Tara.

We Will Be Back!
My partner and I enjoyed our stay at Bucuti! If you and not looking for total relaxation this may not be the resort for you. We were well taken care of and everyone was super nice! From the time we were picked up from the airport to the time we left everyone was super helpful. I did a surprise proposal and they helped keep the surprise a secret and left our flowers in the room with complimentary snacks! Thank you to: Janie, Steven, Fatima, Arlisha, Colleen, Stacey, Edda, Imelda, Lorenzo, and Debbie!
