Beginning the moment you plan your beach getaway, the associates here at Bucuti are genuinely happy to be at your service.

Here at Bucuti, we are proud to be aiding our world by mitigating our carbon footprint. As long-time stewards of the environment, we are honored to announce our newest eco-designation in the race to halt global warming ?LEED? Silver certification. What does this certification mean? LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) is a rating system developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), the world?s leading program for buildings that are designed, constructed, maintained and operated for improved environmental and human health performance. In other words, it is the worldwide standard that recognizes when a building and its operations are truly "green".

Timing is everything. According to a recent Washington Post article, it?s the difference between a great meal and a dining experience that left a bad taste in your mouth.

As you may know, Aruba has more sunny days than any other Caribbean island and we recognize that our visitors are here to take advantage of the sun, sand and sea. With our resort being located on world-renowned Eagle Beach, we realize that our guests plan to spend most of their time relaxing on the beach sipping tropical drinks and enjoying our cooling trade winds. Of course we encourage our guests to do so but to keep in mind that Aruba is very close to the equator and the trade winds tend to mask the intensity of the hot sun.

The Bucuti & Tara team and I love Aruba and believe that our island has something special to offer all travelers, from adventurers and thrill-seekers, to families with small kids, to couples celebrating their honeymoon or wedding anniversary.

Each year, from March through July, thousands of sea turtles make their way to the Caribbean to nest. Sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to nest after reaching maturity. Many Leatherback Turtles nest on Eagle Beach, meaning our guests may have the opportunity to witness this emotional and beautiful experience. For many, experiencing a nesting turtle or watching a baby hatchling make their way to the sea is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Bucuti recognizes this, so during turtle season we have a call list which guests can sign up to watch the Leatherback Turtles as they come ashore to lay their eggs or to watch the tiny hatchlings make their incredible passage to the ocean for the first time.Each year, from March through July, thousands of sea turtles make their way to the Caribbean to nest. Sea turtles return to the beach where they were born to nest after reaching maturity.

I am proud to announce that Bucuti was named the best hotel in the Caribbean in the TripAdvisor 2015 Traveler Choice Awards.

As owner of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts, I often get asked how I chose Aruba out of all the beautiful islands in the Caribbean. In today’s post, I’ll discuss with you the many reasons why I, as well as millions of travelers from across the globe, have chosen Aruba and why the island has one of the highest repeat visitation rates in the Caribbean.
