IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY BEING GREEN, BUT IT PAYS OFF

What Bucuti’s environmental programs and certifications mean for you
As many of you know, we are passionate about the environment here at Bucuti and have been ever since I opened the doors in 1987. While “sustainable” and “eco-friendly” are certainly buzzwords in the travel industry today, many shades of “green” exist.
 

Our definition of "DO NOT DISTURB"

15Jul2010

Here at Bucuti and Tara Beach Resorts, we appreciate that we have something special…a sublimely beautiful location unlike anywhere else in the world. This puts us in the position of being part of some of the most memorable moments in the lives of our guests, the majority of whom are couples celebrating the joy of togetherness here in Aruba.

 

Aruba....expensive? Why or why not?

7May2010

Aruba holds a special place in the hearts of visitors for many reasons. Our beautiful beaches. Our picture perfect sunsets. Our people, who are arguably the friendliest in all of the Caribbean. Another reason many people love Aruba is because of how at home they feel here. Aruba makes vacationing so convenient for visitors that sometimes they forget they are in another country.

Change is Good

1Sep2009

It is a time of change...and our philosophy of business at Bucuti has always been to invest consistently into our product to keep it fresh and renewed and those of you who visit us regularly see the changes and upgrades every time you visit. We believe change is good.

Our most recent changes are the pool and surrounding coral tile deck and sunbeds as well as the outdoor dining area at the Pirates Nest, both of which have have received tremendous praise. Along with the stylish atmosphere at the pool and restaurant we've vastly upgraded the Pirates Nest dining with the contribution of Aruba's celebrity Chef, Matt Boland and his partner Jose Menendez who have taken over the kitchen and service at the restaurant. Future plans also include a modernization of the Pirates' Nest structure and a new logo to better reflect the 'evolved' Bucuti from the time our original logo was chosen.

All of us at Bucuti are very proud of our Ewald Biemans who was recognized during a gala event last week, produced by the Aruba Tourism Authority and the Radisson Resort Aruba where leaders of our community honored a handful of visionaries responsible for building Aruba as a tourism destination over the past 40 years.

Extreme makeover for logo too?

14Jul2009

Nothing is certain except change… ..and loyal guests of our resort have been watching our extreme makeover for the past few years as we invested and evolved into a sophisticated boutique resort exclusively for couples. On occasion we have been asked if we will promote our new upscale product with an updated logo which would better reflect what Bucuti has become. In consideration of this feedback we have experimented with some new designs and the perception of a new branding for the resort. We post a draft of a potential new logos next to our current logo for your comments and feedback and hope you will help us decide if a new brand/logo is a good move, in your opinion. Do you think Bucuti should change/upgrade its logo? If so, do you like the designs shown here? Does it achieve our goal of reflecting a more sophisticated and upscale look to match our upgrades?
