Adults only. White sand beach with no rocks. A low profile resort with not too many rooms. ( not a tower high rise hotel ) The owner cares about the preservation of the environment. General Manager is top-notch based on the way all the employees were friendly and professional.

Lovely Resort, Vegetarian Friendly
If you are looking for a quiet, relaxing resort with no tacky blaring music or screaming children, this resort is for you. The resort is clean. The staff goes above and beyond. The food at the on-site and off-site restaurants is great. Be sure to hit Elioti's and Ike's. As vegetarians, we had no trouble finding great meals everywhere we went. If I had to be picky, as a coffee connoisseur, the onsite coffee is just OK. BUT, that is my only complaint. We also didn't see tons of stray starving dogs around town like in Mexico. Thank God. The diving and snorkeling is great. Lots of the colorful sea life to see. No shortage of things to do either - just ask any of the concierges for help. They can make helpful recommendations. Other perks include on site laundry and car rental. Very convenient! Bucuti and Tara is worth the price.

Wonderful honeymoon in paradise!
We had a memorable honeymoon at Bucuti & Tara Beach resort. We appreciated the serene atmosphere. Our Tara Suite was fantastic in every way. The beach was incredible. The cleanliness of the entire resort was amazing. But it was the staff who made our experience so special. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. The service at all of the restaurants was beyond compare. Izzy for dinner, Juan for breakfast, and Karen at the bar in particular stood out, but everyone was fantastic. We are already looking forward to our next visit to Aruba, and will definitely enjoy Bucuti & Tara on our next visit.
