The pictures on the website do not do this place justice. My husband and I went here for our honeymoon, and we were in heaven!!! This place is beautiful! The staff were extremely friendly. The rooms were clean and satisfying. At night you can lay under the stars by the pool area.
Traveler's tip:
We recommend going to the grocery store to buy items for lunch. Then eat your supper at the local restaurants. The restaurants were fantastic (however pricey). We ate at Flying Fishbone, Ambianz, and Driftwood.

We stayed at this resort to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary (celebrated with the romantic dinner on the beach!)and it was without a doubt spectacular! We have been to Aruba a number of times (actually the only place we vacation now) and the Bucuti was the best stay we've ever had. Already looking to book for next year!
Traveler's tip:
El Gaucho is a must for a great dinner experience and the Mojitos and a fun lunch can be had at Iguana Joe's downtown.

This resort is an excellent place to stay!! The only complaint I have is that they need to have a bigger business center for more access to the internet or else to provide free wireless service to their IP. Other than that, Bucuti is top notch in my book!!

The hotel was perfect, the beach exquisite,and the staff couldn't be anymore "top notch" in customre service. Would go back to the Bucuti in a second.

We absolutely loved our time at the Bucuti resort & definitely reccommend staying in the Tara Suites. Our suite on the beach was clean, modern, beautiful and gave us a picture perfect view of the ocean and sunsets. The service was terrific and while it's a luxury vacation everything at Bucuti was very laid back and low key which is how a vacation should be!
Traveler's tip:
Everyone who goes to Aruba knows that you must visit El Gaucho's steakhouse. Also we had a great time at Pincho's on the water. The drinks and food was great and the view was unbelievable!

This hotel is a great place if you're just looking to relax and get away from the crowd...the people there are very nice and very accomodating. My husband and I stayed there for our honeymoon and it was very nice and quiet and the beach is very nice and clean. One negative thing was that the complimentary breakfast was not very good. It's better to buy your own breakfast.

Very friendly staff, amazing beach, hotel was clean and well maintained. The free breakfast was really good since it was more than just pastries, cereal and milk.
Traveler's tip:
Flying Fishbone was the best restaurant we ate at while at Aruba.

Our first time to Aruba, great experience overall. Especially because of the Bucuti Beach Resort....previous reviews were correct, can't beat your own private beach, always a hut waiting for you, few to no kids, quiet, attentive staff. It's great to go to the noisy high rise area or downtown area during the day/night but always have your quiet resort and own beach to come back to every day. If you're going for honeymoon or without kids, go to Bucuti! We already decided Bucuti's where we'll stay if we ever return to Aruba...
Traveler's tip:
Taxi fares are fixed...they don't even have meters in them, on average we spent $20 to $30 a day on taxis (if we left the resort), beats renting a car in my opinion (don't have to look for parking and gas was at $5 a gallon there!) and watch restaurant bills some include 15% gratuity and some don't! Must have King Crab Legs at Sunset Grille in the Radisson Hotel...best I've ever had!

Small property with no children's activities makes this resort quiet and uncrowded. Very friendly staff always willing to help. Can't wait to go back and enjoy our home away from home!

The hotel was beautiful. The staff was very knowledgable and helpful. If you like a beach with room to breathe this is the place for you. It's not crowded like the high rise hotel section. The stay was fantastic.
Traveler's tip:
Eat at El Gaucho's while in Aruba the absolute best food we had all week!

The hotel was excellent. Clean and trendy. It is not a 5 star hotel in the sense that they do not supply you with a ton of extras... but if you want a clean up to date room and a wonderful beach you have found the right place. It is a wonderful hotel and I highly recommend it to everyone.

We are always impressed with the staff and the facility. They have continued to impress us with the continuous pursuit of overall facility enhancements over the years. That plus the friendly and professional staff always makes it a vacation spot we look forward to visiting.

Bucuti Beach Resort was excellent in almost every way. Great very well maintained room, and fantastic beach location. Might be the finest beach I have ever been to. Far enough away from the high rise area so that it felt much less touristy. Bar was good with lots of fun drinks, but happy hour tapas were nothing special and limited to only one item type per eve. Restaurant was good but not great. However the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The concierges in particular could not do enough to help you find that special activity or restaurant. Restaurant around the island were excellent. We highly recommended going to this hotel and to Aruba.
Traveler's tip:
Try the Aqua Grill, Papiamento and Flying Fishbone. All have excellent food and service. the FF is amazing with a waterside location that allows patrons to sit with feet in the water. It is a drive but well worth it. Driftwood, downtown is more casual but the food is still great.

The Bucuti was excellent and the beach was great. It appeared to be the best when compared to other hotels (the least crwoded). We stayed in the Tara suites and they were worth the price. The only complaint was during check in. The room was not ready at 3 pm and we had to wait over an hour. After that everything was great. The food was average but there are lots of great places to choose from especially the flying fishbone (far away but well worth it) and the chalet suisse (close by and great food). Go to the supermarket and buy a cheap cooler, drinks and snacks for the beach.
Traveler's tip:
All the restaurants we ate at were very good. In order with best first: 1. Flying Fishbone 2. Chalet Suisse 3. Madame Jeannette's 4. Gaucho Steakhouse

I did not think to ask not to be on the first floor. Even though it was on the first floor and a garden view, it was very peaceful. I enjoyed the beach area very much. The area is very spacious. You do not have to sit right next to other guests. The resturant needs improvement. The quality of the food is fair and the selection is poor. The atmosphere is very good. They give you a free continental breakfast, however, you can not take it away from the buffet area. Why give it free if that's the case?
Traveler's tip:
This is the area to be if you would like a quiet and uncrowded area to relax.

Hotel was great for peace and quiet on the beach. Virtually no children at this hotel, so you could sit on the beach and just listen to the waves crashing along the shore. Lots of tiki huts and lounge chairs available on the beach. Rooms in the hotel were nice and clean. Overall, the hotel was a little bit more expensive than I thought it was worth, but if you want a quiet getaway, this is the place.
Traveler's tip:
I was not too impressed with the dining in Aruba in general. One good place near Eagle Beach is Le Dome--a Belgian-French restaurant.

This is a quiet, very nice hotel in the mid-rise section on Eagle Beach. The beach is great and the Tara Suites are very nice. The office center could be better, but otherwise this is one of the nicest hotels we saw in Aruba. It does not feel crowded, even when it is almost full.
