A lot of hard work and dedication goes into achieving the best results that lead to receiving these awards and by rewarding those we hope to motivate all hotels to continue their hard work.

The nominees have worked hard and run wonderful hotels; however the winners have managed to make a difference by the outstanding results of their quality assurance inspections and their guest satisfaction results.”
