The AAA Five Diamond rating is one of the most respected accolades in the industry, given its strict evaluation process. For over 80 years, AAA’s independent inspectors have conducted unannounced assessments of over 26,000 hotels across North America and the Caribbean. Achieving the Five Diamond distinction is an honor awarded to just 0.4% of properties, signifying their position as the pinnacle of luxury and excellence. This exclusive recognition reinforces Spice Island Beach Resort’s commitment to maintaining its exceptional standards and creating unforgettable experiences for its guests.
A Five Diamond rating represents the pinnacle of luxury, showcasing exceptional amenities and delivering an unmatched guest experience. Spice Island Beach Resort not only meets these high standards but also goes above and beyond by holding the esteemed “AAA Inspected Clean” certification. This certification, introduced after the pandemic, provides travelers with the assurance that the resort maintains the highest levels of cleanliness and safety. Using both visible inspections and ATP surface testing, the resort ensures that guests enjoy a worry-free stay in a pristine environment.
“While celebrating this achievement, we are committed to not resting on our laurels. In this highly competitive tourism industry, we continuously strive to elevate our standards and exceed guest expectations,” Hopkin stated.
