Fodor's Expert Review Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort
L. G. Smith Blvd. 55B, Druif, n/a Aruba, Aruba Fodor's Choice
Having achieved the first carbon-neutral status in the Caribbean, and winning multiple prestigious global eco awards, this landmark adults-only luxury boutique hotel offers exquisite personal service in an extraordinary beach setting. It often tops most romantic hotel lists, and the resort goes the extra mile by offering a dedicated romance concierge staff. The vibe is also focused on health and wellness with comprehensive programs and experienced staff to help guests meet their nutrition, dietary, fitness, and mindfulness goals. They have their own spa, and their adults-only dining spot offers many healthy choices. This beachfront expanse is prime real estate for nesting leatherback sea turtles each summer. If you're lucky, you'll see the hatchlings head to the sea. The resort has comprehensive sea turtle protection safeguards and in-depth guest education, too.
