BUCUTI BEACH RESORT TO ENHANCE ROMANCE

WITH RESORT-WIDE ADULTS-ONLY POLICY

Aruba’s top resort for couples expands current Tara Suites adults-only policy

to include Bucuti Wing

EAGLE BEACH, ARUBA – March 9, 2010 – Bucuti Beach Resort, long Aruba’s premier resort for romance, will implement a new, adults-only policy in 2011 in line with the resort’s goal of providing a tranquil getaway for couples. Starting December 23, 2010, all guests at Bucuti must be at least 18 years old.

“For years now, the majority of Bucuti’s guests have been couples looking for an upscale quiet retreat, and this policy, going into effect late this year, allows us to cater exclusively to this market.” said Bucuti’s owner Ewald Biemans. “We want to take this next nine months to educate agents and the travel consumer as to our new adults-only plan.”

An award-winning, owner-managed resort, Bucuti has been recognized by TripAdvisor as one of the top 10 most romantic resorts in the world and has a longstanding commitment to providing an unmatched vacation experience for couples. Designed with romance in mind, the 104-room resort’s peaceful atmosphere and location on the wide, white sands of Eagle Beach set it apart from Aruba’s larger resorts that attract more families. Bucuti’s sought-after beachfront Tara Suites feature large oceanfront balconies or terraces, king-sized beds and are an oasis from the crowds.

Currently, the resort policy allows for a handful of rooms to accommodate one child in the Bucuti Wing; Tara Suites have always been restricted to adults. Once the new policy goes into effect, children staying at other resorts on the island will still be allowed to dine at Bucuti’s Pirates’ Nest Restaurant and attend wedding ceremonies.

Couples can relax on Eagle Beach under their own private palapa or simply lounge around the infinity pool in a comfy chair for two. The resort’s expert concierge team can coordinate excursions that offer fun just for grown-ups, including a snorkel boat trip, hiking in Arikok National Park, island tours and meals at Aruba’s premier local restaurants.

The Twelve Apostles

     I woke up early this morning to thoughts about one of my favorite resorts in Camps Bay just minutes away from Cape Town.  This resort stands at the edge of the world.  It reaches toward heaven as the sun sets on breeching whales, playful dolphins, and crashing Atlantic rollers. This luxury 5-star boutique hotel is sheltered by the wilderness trails of the Table Mountain National Park. All can be taken in by relaxing on the golden beaches of The Twelve Apostles. 

     The staff and service will melt your troubles away as the most difficult decision whilst staying here will be deciding whether to overlook the mountains or the sea. The resort boasts 55 deluxe guest rooms and 15 luxurious suites.  The guest rooms and suites adorn a contemporary African style, classic European comfort and effortless, up-to-the-minute technology.  As I close my eyes I appear relaxed and completely serene lounging on the terrace of the Presidential Suite.  At the highest point of the resort the room boasts  open-plan lounge / dining room and kitchenette leads into a master bedroom and a second room that we'll furnish as gym or office according to choice. You have two bathrooms, two toilets, and a stunning wrap-around balcony with a surreal views of sea, mountains, and fynbos wilderness.

 
     The  Azure Restaurant with its cape fusion cuisine was awardedprestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Blazon award, given to  professional members such as an owner, manager or executive chef of a dining or hotel establishment maintaining a superb level of cuisine, service and  hospitality, as required by the exacting standards of the  Chaîne internationally.  However the luxe dining options do not stop there with the Cafe and Leopard Room Bar (host to 72 selections of vodka and 46 ports).  Following enjoy a classic film in the private cinema just off the Azure Restaurant.

     Just before I reach the end of my morning daydream I will take a stroll to the Spa where complete wellness reigns.  Recently named Leading Spa Resort in Africa indulge in a range of treatments including many based on the indigenous fynbos flora. Or you can opt for a secluded open-air treatment in a shady gazebo.  There are no words to describe the total experience one can take in at The Twelve Apostles Spa as it is simply unworldly.
