Sandals Resorts International has been voted Best All-inclusive hotel chain in the Caribbean.
The honour was conferred on Sandals at TravelAge West’s 2016 WAVE Awards, held at the Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey earlier this month. Honorees were recognized in 68 categories that spanned cruise, tour operator, airline, hotel and resort, travel insurance and rail vacations.
The annual awards gave travel agents in the Western U.S the opportunity to recognize the outstanding qualities and services of their travel supplier partners.
More than 5,500 travel agent professionals throughout the 15 Western states and readers of TravelAge West voted on the best-of-the-best from a list of Editor’s Pick award recipients that were chosen after careful review by TravelAge West Editor-in-Chief Kenneth Shapiro and the editorial team of TravelAge West. Review methods included product analysis, on-site visits, a survey of a select group of travel agents and online research.
“The WAVE Awards are a great gauge of how travel companies are perceived by agents,” said Shapiro. “Our readers are always enthusiastic about supporting the companies that are great to work with and that consistently deliver for travellers.”
