BUCUTI & TARA BEACH RESORTS HONORED WITH PRESTIGIOUS
“GOLDEN TULIP HOTEL OF THE YEAR” AWARD

Golden Tulip Hospitality Group chooses Bucuti as one of the twelve best hotels worldwide

EAGLE BEACH, Aruba – November 8, 2010 – Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts, Aruba’s premier resort for couples, is proud to announce that it is a recipient of the Golden Tulip Hospitality Group’s "Golden Tulip Hotel of the Year" for the Americas. The prestigious award is based on the results of the organization’s Quality Assurance Programme, which relies on a yearly mystery guest visit evaluating the hotel’s standards in terms of quality, maintenance, cleanliness, services and brand identity.

The principle of the Golden Tulip “Hotel of the Year” Awards is to have not more than one hotel rewarded by brand and by region, which enables the Golden Tulip Hospitality Group to reward the very best hotels in its chain. Bucuti was one of only twelve hotels to receive this esteemed award for 2010. The audit was conducted by BDRC, the current largest UK independent research consultancy firm, leading in hotel and hospitality industry research.

“We are deeply honored to be recognized among such an elite group of establishments,” said Bucuti’s President and CEO Ewald Biemans. “The Golden Tulip Hotel of the Year award is a tribute to the dedication and professionalism that our associates exhibit day in and day out. A resort can only achieve this level of recognition by having a top-notch team committed to providing an outstanding experience for each and every guest.” Bucuti has been affiliated with Golden Tulip since opening in 1987.

An award-winning, owner-managed resort, Bucuti has also 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. Bucuti’s beach has been recognized for 20 years as one of the top 100 dream beaches of the world, and in 2009 the resort was included in Modern Bride’s list of the top 50 honeymoon destinations. Bucuti is also the recipient of the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences’ coveted Five Star Diamond Award for 2011. Additionally, the resort has been officially certified Green Globe 21 since 2000 and ISO 14001 since 2003, making one of the greenest resorts in the Caribbean.

Searching for a hotel on the mountains? Try www.albergoalpenrose.it!
Albergo Alpenrose** is in Gressoney Saint Jean and 'is characterised by a cosy atmosphere and a typical alpine style. It's the ideal point in order to explore the magnificent mountain tops of the Monte Rosa massif both on foot and on skis.
Our hotel in fact is in a strategic position. It’s actually situated 50 m from the Weissmatten slopes (where the Women's European Ski Cup takes place in December) and its snowpark and skischool, from the cross-country trail and 10 minutes far from the rest of the Monterosa ski domain

Talk about cranky guests, Ed, the New York Times reports that a reputation management company may sue TripAdvisor on behalf of several dozen clients. Reviews that accuse hotel staff of theft, assault or discrimination, the company says, don't belong on the site because they are "allegations of criminality.”

"Some hoteliers believe that TripAdvisor has gone beyond the neutral role of host through actions like sending e-mails highlighting “hotel horror stories” — in effect, endorsing those opinions.

"Other complaints are that TripAdvisor is unwilling to remove questionable reviews from the site, declines to retire older reviews (even when a property is under new management) and screens owners’ responses more vigorously than members’ comments."

Reputation management is what I used to do for a living, so I'd like to know: What do you think of all this?

Are people just getting crankier, or is there a real problem here? ETN reports "While overall satisfaction among European hotel guests appears to have remained stable after achieving a five-year high in 2009, when the benefit of lower guest room rates is removed, satisfaction with the rest of the guest experience has declined notably, according to the J.D. Power and Associates."

Hotel Mocking Bird Hill has an on site art gallery featuring work by co-owner Barbara Walker as well as local artists. The hotel itself is almost a gallery with original works by Walker in all the rooms and public areas. http://bit.ly/aJVhY9

How about a hotel that doubles as an art museum? They've done it in Japan -- read about it on the Tripatini blog.
