Gamblers love doubling down when placing bets. We’re charmed when we encounter identical twins, and who doesn’t love getting a great two-for-one deal when we shop? Two is always better than one, which is why folks at Belize’s Manta Island Resort were thrilled to have been given two TripAdvisor awards when balloting was concluded for this year’s TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards!
Does it matter that Manta received honors in two categories? You bet. It means double the prestige, double the recognition, and double the recognition—all of which celebrates the resort’s outstanding service, recognizes Manta’s team, and thanks past guests for their reviews, loyalty, and support. If you contributed to these wins, congratulations on helping this property become the #3 in the Small & Boutique Hotel in the World category and #4 in the Small & Boutique Hotel in Central America category.
Why are these awards so significant?
TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Awards designations mean that Manta ranks among the top 1% of hotels worldwide. Imagine what it takes to become part of this rarified world of excellence.
Even the official Tripadvisor statement: “You’re among the top 1% of hotels worldwide” is notable. “Each year, we recognize travelers’ favorite spots around the world, based on reviews and ratings collected throughout the past year. Their reviews proved you’re one of the best—congrats on your well-deserved win.” As you can imagine, Manta staffers broke into happy dances when they received this stunning news.
It should come as no surprise to you that typical reviews…
…echo the pride guests feel when they realize that they were responsible for feedback that led to both honors, as reviews like these arrived in support of Manta, echoing comments like these that appear on the resort’s website:
– “A more beautiful place on the great barrier reef you couldn’t find!!! Besides that, staff was warm and welcoming. We had fun playing games with other guests, relaxing with drinks, eating great food, and swimming. A better time couldn’t have happen[ed]!!!”
– “Small island luxury, about 36 miles off the coast (and what a spectacular boat ride to get there in a fantastic boat!), perfect accommodations, food, cocktails, and staff. It just simply doesn’t get better than this! Great snorkeling, fishing, snorkeling off the beach, and an infinity pool complete the ideal island getaway package.”
Manta gains worldwide recognition. You get rewarded!
