Voyages Lizard Island Voted Number 1 – Again!
Over 90,000 subscribers to the world’s premier travel magazine can’t be wrong!
For the fourth year running, readers of Travel + Leisure magazine in the US have voted Voyages Lizard Island as the No. 1 hotel in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific.
The property’s 91.82 rating also meant it was one of the Top 10 hotels in the world (9th).
The prestigious T+L 500 is composed of the 500 hotels that receive the highest overall ratings – those that have a demonstrated track record of excellence – from Travel + Leisure readers in their annual “World’s Best Awards” survey.
Travel + Leisure readers are among the most sophisticated, passionate and discerning travellers in the world. The survey asks them to rate properties on five characteristics: rooms/facilities, location, service, restaurants/food, and value. Overall scores are an indexed average of evaluations concerning these characteristics with Voyages Lizard Island receiving an overall score of 91.82
The T+L 500 is considered the ultimate hotel guide and features exclusive information such as the overall score each property received from readers, what differentiates it from its competitors, which rooms to book, and amenities and services not to be missed.
According to Voyages’ Executive General Manager Sales & Marketing Nick Baker, one of the things that make this prestigious accolade so special is that it came from the magazine’s readers: people who had actually stayed at the resort.
“Voyages Lizard Island epitomises the best Australia (and Voyages) has to offer – 24 incredible beaches, world-class diving on the Great Barrier Reef and adrenaline charged big game fishing. Add to that the sheer class and indomitable style of a world class resort with a barefoot luxury feel and you have a truly unique place,” Nick said.
When compared to the rest of the world, Voyages Lizard Island was the only Australian property rated in the Top 10.
