Gros Islet, Saint Lucia, May 30, 2016 – The locally owned and operated resort chain, Bay Gardens Resorts, announced today that the award-‐winning company had added new awards to their collection – 2016 TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence. This accolade, which honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveler reviews on the popular site, TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. This year, the Bay Gardens Beach Resort and Spa, the Bay Gardens Hotel, and the Bay Gardens Inn were all awarded the 2016 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.
“We are truly thrilled to receive these awards for our properties and restaurant for this year. I truly think it shows a consistent level of commitment from our entire team to quality customer care and service,” remarked Sanovnik Destang, Executive Director of Bay Gardens Resorts. He continued, “TripAdvisor has become such an important step in the vacation planning process – it is honest feedback by past guests for potential guests. I must thank my amazing team and our guests who took the time to leave us a review.”
