  The location of Bucuti & Tara on Eagle Beach is beautiful. The staff were extremely friendly, accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was stress and worry free and comfortable. Our first morning during breakfast the owner of the resort came by our table and asked us how we were doing. When he found out we were honeymooners he asked if we had received our complimentary gifts. When we told him we hadn't, he sent an email from his phone and by the time we got back to our room there was a bottle of champagne, cheese, crackers, and chocolate waiting for us, along with two complimentary engraved champagne flutes. The food at the complimentary breakfasts was very good and provided a good selection including espresso type drinks upon request. we ate there every morning and were never bored or disappointed. We particularly enjoyed the omelet bar and the fresh fruit. The beach lounge beds were extremely comfortable (we both napped on them frequently) and there were more than enough for all the guests. Happy hours with live music at the sandbar were a ton of fun and the drinks were exceptional. The staff provided great recommendations for places to eat meals out, which we did quite a bit as the resort is not an all inclusive. That being said the food at the resort's restaurant, Elements, was fantastic. More importantly, the staff was happy to alter dishes to accommodate food allergies, and the chef even came out to our table himself to discuss those allergies to make sure that he prepared the food properly. This kind of attention to making our stay enjoyable and providing excellent customer service was something we experienced time and time again at Bucuti & Tara. One other feature we really enjoyed was the beach side service for drinks and lunch. In our experience, the waiter arrived within five to ten minutes of when we raised our red flag for service and we had the food/drink within 10-20 minutes after that.

  Drink prices outside of happy hour were a bit high in my opinion, but the drinks of the day which are available all day at only $5.50 made that somewhat less of an issue and you can always go to the grocery store and brink your own drinks back if you want. Also, while we loved our stay and would go again I think the price per night was more comparable to a five star resort even though this is only a four (rather than five) star resort. For those two reasons I didn't give a perfect score in value for money. Our room was advertised as an ocean view, and at one time it probably was, but several trees have grown up so that if you were looking out of your room from the inside it was in reality more of a partial ocean view. We stayed in room 237. Also as Honeymooners we wish that Bucuti & Tara offered room service. I understand that usually isn't offered at four star resorts, and we knew going in that it wasn't available at Bucuti and still chose to stay there, but I think as an adults only resort that markets itself to couples on special/romantic trips like honeymoons and anniversary trips it seems like room service is something that would be appropriate to offer.

  A very responsive staff and great "adults-only" environment.

  Due to shifting tides, the ocean/Caribbean is now about 100 yards from where the beach chairs are whereas it used to be much closer, but that's Mother Nature's fault, not Bucuti's.

  The staff is extraordinarily friendly and helpful. Not crowded. Wonderful beach. They have created a quiet, relaxing vibe that is perfect for Aruba. It was exactly as advertised.

  We rented a car (a good idea) and it was a little hard to find the place, but all of Aruba lacks road signs. The beds weren't the most comfortable. But really, it's hard to find much fault with this place.

  The staff was so pleasant and helpful. Accomodated to all of our needs. Super clean and the property was absolutely beautiful. Loved the tv built into the mirror.

  Humidifier in our room was extremely loud and woke us up throughout the evening and into the night.

  The personal attention from Staff, making it very exclusive, 1-1 attention. The Beach is the very best, excellent location.

  Vibe, it is extremely low key, quiet, being a young couple needed more of a vibe.

  Facilities were excellent. Not crowded at all -- plenty of space for the breakfast seating, pool and beach. Never had to rush to reserve a prime spot anywhere. Breakfasts were amazing. All staff were super friendly. A true pleasure of a week. Central location -- a quiet retreat but close to restaurants, shopping and entertainment. Going back next year.

  Nothing.

  We went to the Bucuti to celebrate our 10th anniversary. We have been to Aruba twice before and our stay at the Bucuti was definitely the best we have had. The Staff, especially Bjorn and Frank were incredibly friendly, accommodating and helpful. The staff had great recommendations regarding restaurants, shopping and activities on the Island. We enjoyed a couples massage at the spa which was great. One of the best things was that there was always plenty of room on the beach so no having to reserve or stake out a spot. One of the nicest touches was that Bjorn sent us a bottle of champagne with cheese, crackers and chocolate as a gift for our 10th anniversary.. This obviously shows how invested they are in taking care of their guests. We look forward to visiting the Bucuti and Tara again!

  The breakfast buffet was very good at the hotel restaurant Elements, but the dinner at Elements was average. We did only eat once at Elements, so not sure if this was on off night. This was honestly the only thing we did not like about the Bucuti!

  The staff were courteous and helpful. The breakfast was very good. The gym and equipment were top-notch

  Sandwiches, light meals and snacks are available for purchase in the afternoon only. This should be available until 10 PM as the kitchen is open for dinner anyway. There should be a place to sit and relax in the evening perhaps with soft music. After dinner there is either the bar or your room.

  Everything! The location was wonderful. The beach was white, wide, and un crowded. The staff from the beach attendants to the owner were friendly and attentive, always asking if they could help.

  I didn't want to leave!
