Prestigious global magazine Condé Nast Traveler today announced the results of its annual Readers’ Choice Awards with Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort recognized as the No. 17 – the highest in Aruba – among the Top 40 Resorts in the Caribbean.

Representing a 19% increase in voting over 2019, more than 715,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers submitted an incredible number of responses rating their travel experiences across the globe. The Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards are the longest-running and among the most prestigious recognition of excellence in the travel industry.

“The results of this year’s survey, conducted at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, are a testament to the lasting power of meaningful travel experience,” said Jesse Ashlock, U.S. Editor of Condé Nast Traveler. “The winners represent the best of the best for our audience and offer plenty of trip-planning inspiration for all the adventures we can’t wait to have next.”

“Since travel restrictions lifted and more and more guests begin returning to Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, being honored among the best of the best by Condé Nast Traveler readers continues to reaffirm the desire for seeking a high-quality vacation,” shared Ewald Biemans, owner/CEO of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. “I’m proud of our Bucuti associates for delivering the Caribbean’s safest, healthiest vacation and for our guests who continue trusting us to provide a memorable experience.”

While the COVID-19 pandemic was an unanticipated disruption for affecting part of 2020, Bucuti & Tara used the unexpected downtime to continue improving its guest experience. It deep-cleaned the resort, renovated the SandBar, refreshed Elements restaurant, redid its pool complex, trained staff and worked with ICU doctors onsite to implement hospital-grade, high-tech COVID-19 safety protocol. It also debuted an expanded vegan menu, earned a Wine Spectator Certificate of Excellence and was named No. 1 by TripAdvisor.
