For 14 years, the Travelers' Choice award has been the highest honor TripAdvisor® can bestow and two were awarded to Royalton Luxury Resorts in Cuba.

Less than one per cent of all hotels listed on TripAdvisor receive this accolade. Royalton Cayo Santa Maria is TripAdvisor's 2014 Best All-inclusive in the World title and currently listed as the number one all-inclusive in the Cayo Santa Maria area. Royalton Hicacos, located in Varadero, is also an adult's only all-inclusive resort that currently holds the second position for all hotels in this region and remains a guest favorite.

The Certificate of Excellence rewards hotels for the quality, quantity and recency of reviews submitted by travelers to TripAdvisor® and is given to less than ten per cent of all establishments listed on their website. Blue Diamond Resorts is proud to earn a total of eight for the 2016 awards season. Two premier adults' only resorts CHIC Punta Cana and Hideaway at Royalton Riviera Cancun secured Certificates of Excellence for consistently strong guest reviews. The family-friendly resorts in each region, Royalton Punta Cana and Royalton Riviera Cancun each received acknowledgement resulting in two more Certificates of Excellence. In Cuba, Memories Caribe, Memories Flamenco, Memories Jibacoa and Starfish Cuatro Palmas were each awarded the Certificate for delivering the high quality and consistent service that travelers seek on vacation.
