a designated cruise ship passenger beach, with toilets and changing facilities. The Bushiri Beach would be
ideal. If you just do that Theo, you will accomplished a lot. But leave the palapas and shade management
to the hotels, we don't recommend fixing something which ain't broke. During the meeting the new
General Manager of the Hyatt Regency, Joel Burke voiced his opinion and thereby introduced himself as
a straight-shooter and a down-to-earth personality with a common sense. Later I found out he was born
into a farming family somewhere in the mid-west. We like him already. Welcome to Aruba!
LACK OF BEACH MANAGEMENT. I drove past the lovely strip of beach between Divi and Tamarijn all
inclusive and to my utter surprise found a brown box, like an oversize tiger-transport-cage, smack in the
middle of that pristine beach. Guess what. It's a spa. How did New Image Spa receive a permit to build
such ugliness, mid such beauty?? Did you have to place it in the middle, ruining the best uninterrupted
vista on the island. And if indeed you have a building permit, couldn't the box be placed on the side, in
respect of the beach and its worshipers?? RC@visitaruba.com.
