Celebrating Our Condé Nast Johansens Award for Best Service
We have some lovely news to share with you from Eagle Beach. Bucuti & Tara has been named Best Service in North America at the 2027 Condé Nast Johansens Awards for Excellence, and we are delighted to celebrate with the people who make this recognition so meaningful: our guests and our team.
For more than 40 years, Condé Nast Johansens has helped travelers discover exceptional independent hotels, resorts, and spas around the world. Its Awards for Excellence draw on guest feedback, online voting, and assessments by experienced hospitality experts. For us, being recognized for Best Service is a particularly meaningful acknowledgment of the personal care we hope you feel throughout your stay.
On November 2, our founder and owner, Sir Ewald Biemans, accepted the award on our behalf at the Montcalm Mayfair in London. It was a proud evening for our Bucuti & Tara family, with a very personal connection to the welcome we offer you here in Aruba.
The people behind your stay
When you think back on a favorite vacation, often it is the people you remember. Someone who took the time to listen. A thoughtful gesture that made a celebration feel more personal. The feeling of being welcomed and cared for, so you could settle in and enjoy being together.
That is what makes an award for service especially close to our hearts. Our Bucuti Associates bring their own warmth and care to every stay, whether you are joining us for your honeymoon, returning for an anniversary, or simply taking a little time away together.
“This award is a tribute to our extraordinary team, whose genuine care and dedication make every guest experience special,” shared Sir Ewald.
To everyone who has shared an experience or a kind word about our team, thank you.
More to look forward to together
This happy news comes as we continue investing in the experiences you enjoy at Bucuti & Tara. Under the leadership of our Managing Director, Crescenzia Biemans, Sir Ewald’s granddaughter, we are carrying his vision forward with the same attention to your comfort and the intimate atmosphere you come here to enjoy.
Our room renewal is bringing refreshed contemporary design, greater comfort, and carefully considered details to your surroundings. For guests who love discovering something special over dinner, Terra by Jeremy Ford adds another reason to linger at the table and make an evening of it.
There is also more room in your day for wellbeing. With up to five daily activities, including yoga, meditation, and fitness, along with personalized guidance from our Wellness Concierge, you can find the balance that feels right for you. Perhaps that means trying something new together, or simply making time to slow down.
Caring for the place you come to enjoy
Our care for you has always gone hand in hand with our care for Aruba. Sir Ewald’s belief that luxury and environmental responsibility belong together helped Bucuti & Tara become the Caribbean’s first Certified CarbonNeutral® resort in 2018. That belief continues to guide us as we look after the island that makes your time here so special.
With our heartfelt thanks
To our returning guests, thank you for choosing to spend more of your precious time with us. It is a joy to welcome you back and to be part of the occasions you celebrate here.
And if your first visit is still ahead, we look forward to welcoming you to our stretch of Eagle Beach and introducing you to the people behind this award.
From all of us at Bucuti & Tara, masha danki. We are so happy to share this moment with you.
