Reviews Summary

Elements Restaurant offers a truly memorable dining experience, consistently praised for its breathtaking oceanfront ambiance, especially during sunset. Diners rave about the impeccable service and the diverse, delicious menu that caters to various dietary needs. While most experiences are flawless, minor critiques sometimes mention slight over-salting on certain dishes.

"Went here with my mom and brother for my 24th birthday dinner in April and it was amazing! If you plan to get really nice sunset pictures I would make the reservation for 6 or 6:15. It was so perfect and beautiful. Food was good and our server was very kind in giving me a complimentary birthday ice cream. Live music and some parrots/other birds upon entry."

Cadé Halstead

"We came here on our last night in Aruba. And there wasn't a better place to come. The location on Eagle beach, with a great view of the Caribbean sea. Our server, Vincent was splendid and made our night. It was a perfect evening. A great steak cooked to perfection, a cocktail and wine that complemented the meal. And the view was amazing. If I had to describe what perfection is to me, it was this. I absolutely recommend coming here."

Neerav Shah

"I cannot express how beautiful this restaurant is and I am beyond impressed with the service. My boyfriend booked this for our Saturday evening at sunset and it was truly breathtaking. Our server, Israel, was absolutely incredible. He was attentive, so personable, and extremely professional. Also LOVE that he offered to take photos of us & did not rush us at all, he even encouraged us to take our time and really enjoy the sunset. My boyfriend had the tortellini dish which one of the best dishes either of us have ever tried, I had the gnocchi which was very good but tortellini was exceptional. Israel recommended the strawberry cheesecake dessert and it was actually divine. From the atmosphere, to impeccable service, and wonderful meal it was a perfect experience and I cannot wait to return next year!"

10 Foods to Eat in Aruba and Where to Try Them

At Elements Restaurant, located in the adults-only Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort overlooking Eagle Beach, the team of Caribbean chefs cook up a buffet of authentic dishes from Aruba, Jamaica, Haiti, and other countries every Monday through Saturday. Seek out the Aruban stobas (stews), especially the calco stoba (conch stew in rich red sauce) and papaya stoba (made with unripe papaya, goat meat, salted beef, and pork tail), and spice them up with some pica di papaya (Aruba’s famous hot sauce). Also be sure to mop up the broth with pan bati (a flat cornmeal bread) and finish with kesio (a rich caramel custard).

Budget Hotel Reviews By 10Best

The beauty of one of Aruba's most precious beaches has been well preserved by this beloved, adult-only boutique hotel. From the moment a couple of steps into the Understated Elegance of the open-air lobby, a promise is made: peace, love and happiness. The garden confirms this with the rustling sounds of its indigenous trees, and so do the softest, whitest sands and clear, blue waters only a few steps away from the eco-friendly, hypoallergenic suites.
