For over 20 years, Bucuti has focused on offering an exceptional vacation experience in a peaceful environment, with a commitment to maintaining a safe, healthy and sustainable environment at all times. Eco-friendly practices started early on coupled with the desire to create an allergy free environment for our guests. As a result, when we built Tara suites, we used state of the art safeguards, like farmed wood, energy-saving and air cleaning technologies, recycled and hypo-allergenic materials, and LED or CFL lighting. Even the new mattresses are made of all natural fibers and recycled materials.

One of the aspects that has made Bucuti Beach Resort one of the most beloved resorts in Aruba has been its location on Eagle Beach, one of the Dream Beaches of the World. Couples who come here to celebrate their honeymoon, have a romantic vacation or exchange their vows have eternally enjoyed the peace and tranquility that our beach offers them during their stay. They have particularly loved having access to one of our many delightful palapas, which allows them to be near the ocean while enjoying great service from our staff for all their beach needs.

The turquoise water and white sands of Aruba are calling your name. Only one question remains - where will you stay?

Chances are, many of you will hop online to read opinions of past guests before making your decision. Whether it’s TripAdvisor, which currently draws 5 million visitors a day; a guidebook forum or a travel-focused message board, more travelers than ever are turning to review-based websites for recommendations on their vacation plans. In fact, a recent study in the U.K determined that more than a third of the country’s travelers engage in social media research before booking a vacation (Source: 2010 World Travel Market Industry Report).

As many of you know, we often like to refer to Aruba as “One Happy Island.” Our beautiful beaches, the crystal clear seas and our friendly people make this moniker ring true, as does one more extremely important attribute – safety.

In comparison to many other islands in the Caribbean, Aruba is a very safe place for both locals and vacationers. We are fortunate to not see the types of violent and drug-related crime that are more commonplace in other countries in our region. While some destinations advise vacationers against journeying beyond their resort, visitors to Aruba are encouraged to explore – whether it’s at Arikok National Park, which encompasses nearly 20 percent of the island, the wide variety of restaurants located around the island or our lively nightlife scene. Many tourists like to shop in Oranjestad, and locals there are generally open to answering questions about the area and providing tips on the best shops and restaurants.
