Feb 03, 2025Five plus stars!! Exceptional!!
Just wrapped up another fantastic stay at Bucuti and Tara. This was our 3rd visit and we enjoyed every moment. All the staff go out of their way to ensure all your needs are met and exceeded. It was wonderful to see old staff that remembered us from previous visits and we met new staff who treated us like old friends. Special shout out to our dear Nakarid who we met during our first trip and welcomed us back like family. Her energy and hospitality are second to none. Also special thanks to Lorenzo the doorman who told us of so many off the beaten path locations we’ll explore next time. Also shout out to Juan, Rambo, Lucy, Esmee, Nicholas the mixologist and all the bar staff, and Beverly at the towel hut. We took Nicholas’ mocktail mixology class and he spent time with us afterwards going more in depth about the art of mixology. Thank you again for an exceptional stay and looking forward to returning soon!

Our favorite place
We've been going here for about 10 years and absolutely love it! The most beautiful beach and not at all crowded. Chairs are very comfortable and the service is warm and friendly. Rooms are starting to feel a little dated. They've upgraded may of the public areas, so maybe now they'll concentrate on the rooms? That said, we don't pend much time in the room! Weather is almost perfect. Breakfast is included, and if you can't find something you'd like to eat here, you just don't want to eat! Everything is fresh and delicious, and the service is as close to perfect as you can get.
