Jan 17, 2026Another Outstanding Stay at Bucuti and Tara Resort
This was our 5th stay and really we can't imagine staying anywhere else. There is an amazing culture at this resort. Everyone is friendly, accommodating and ready to do what they can to ensure a positive guest experience. The beach umbrella reservation process is outstanding and makes for a worry free experience. Elements restaurant has expanded their menu for dinner and lunch now offering more choices including vegan. The lunch and dinners we had there were outstanding. We enjoyed the morning breakfast buffet with lots of choices, delicious and fresh. The Sand Bar was a fun way to rewind each day with cocktails and mocktails. The Sand Bar also provides a great view overlooking the water. The truest testament to our amazing vacation week....we booked a stay next january before we departed for home. Can't wait to return. Thank you!
