How we decide the best place to stay in Aruba
Compare the actual systems described at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. A solar panel contribution, solar water heating and an off grid electricity supply answer different questions about how a stay operates.
Because every glass of tap water here is desalinated, we give real credit to stays that take that load on themselves, which is where Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba stands out, running its own onsite reverse osmosis plant that covers up to 30 per cent of its supply and turns water conservation from a poster on the bathroom door into actual plumbing.
On an island that imports almost all of its food, we look hard at the kitchen, and Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa earns its place by drawing herbs straight from an onsite herb house for its farm to table menus, the sort of close local sourcing that quietly cuts the miles off a plate in the middle of the Caribbean.
Finally we weigh scale and ownership, because small and locally run often means lighter on the land, and Agua Clara Eco Suites proves it as an owner run property built around Aruba’s only saltwater swimming pool, a low impact ecological vision that works with the desert rather than fighting it.
