Aruba’s Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts continues to raise the bar with customer satisfaction this week as the resort was awarded “Best Hotel” by Thomas Cook Northern Europe, the top tour operator in the region. The honor was a result of Bucuti earning the highest consumer rating from 1.5 million customers throughout Sweden, Denmark and Finland. Over 1,500 hotels were in the running for the award across the globe.

“We are truly honored to be recognized as “Best Hotel” by Thomas Cook Northern Europe as it results directly from our valued guests,” said owner of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts Ewald Biemans. “For 25 years our goal has been to offer guests a memorable experience throughout their stay, and we believe that an honor such as this is a direct reflection of this commitment and our staff’s genuine hospitality.”
