Aruba’s Bucuti Beach - Green Authenticity

(March 31, 2008 - DTN) - National Geographic Traveler recently recognized Bucuti Beach Resort in Aruba for its sense of place on the magazine’s first annual “Stay List.” The compilation represents 150 properties that embody the true traveler experience, going beyond just the hotel lobby. The list acknowledges resorts that incorporate and share the soul of their location, respect and conserve local resources and play a vital role in the community.

The resort’s guest rooms feature Aruba Aloe toiletries and balconies with a view of the beautiful white sandy shores of Eagle Beach. Bucuti’s grounds are landscaped with flora indigenous to the island, which has been labeled for guest education. Adding to the Aruban experience, a wide array of arts and crafts made from local artisans is available at the on-site gift shop.

Throughout the resort, energy and resources are conserved through the use of light and air conditioning sensors, environmentally friendly products and bulk dispensers for products including soap, shampoo and lotion. Solar heated water is used in designated areas of the resort and ozone machines, rather than chemical aerosols, keep guest rooms smelling fresh. A resort-wide recycling program helps drastically eliminate the amount of waste from glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard cartons and other materials, such as cooking oils and batteries.
