Frequently Asked Questions - GETTING AROUND ARUBA

Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts are located on Eagle Beach, eight miles north of Queen Beatrix Airport, three miles north of downtown Oranjestad, three miles south of Palm Beach (High Rise Area), eight miles south of Tierra Del Sol Championship Golf Course and a five-minute walk from Aruba’s new golf course Divi Links, and is located in the center of Aruba’s visitor attractions.

The majority of our guests enjoy renting a four-wheel-drive vehicle for two or three days to roam the island and to visit restaurants and sites furthest from the resort. Feedback from guests has shown most prefer to wait until they arrive on the island to have our activities personnel help shop for the best vehicle at the best rate, and keep the car until they feel they are finished touring. However, during peak winter months (between Christmas and Easter) it is best to make arrangements in advance due to high demand and the possibility of sold-out periods. Contact our concierge team for more information at concierge@bucuti.com. Be certain to bring your valid driver’s license and a credit card with you. You must be at least 25 years old to rent a car.

The bus stop for our area is located across the street from the Alhambra Casino, which is adjacent to our resort. The cost for a round-trip ticket to Downtown or Palm Beach is $2 USD per person.

Taxi fares are regulated and you may inquire with our concierge about any specific journey you are interested in to learn the price in advance. For example, it costs $8 USD one-way to Oranjestad or Palm Beach. Surcharges are possible for late night/early morning fares or luggage.
