“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.

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.

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
"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?
