Centara Hotels&Resorts group is proud to announce its recent success at the Traveller’s Choice Awards, where its Grand Island Resort&Spa was recognized as Top All Inclusive Resort.
“We’ve worked hard to make the Grand Island Resort&Spa live up to visitor’s expectations when they come to the Maldives, and I’m happy that the Travellers’ Choice Awards have recognized the unique qualities of the resort,” Mr. Voytek Klasicki, Centara’s Area General Manager commented. The awards, one of the travel and tourism industry’s most prestigious, are based on millions of reviews created by savvy and experienced TripAdvisor travelers and so accurately reflect the appeal that the Grand Island Resort&Spa has for its guests.
The popularity of holiday in the Maldives is growing, and it’s easy to see the perennial appeal. With dazzling sand beaches, and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this Indian Ocean destination is viewed by many as the quintessential tropical get-away.
The Centara Grand Island Resort&Spa is located in the South Ari Atoll, and was conceived by Thailand’s Centara Hotels&Resorts as a priority when it came to opening the group’s first overseas property. The South Ari Atoll is a haven for marine life and offers resort guests an unmatched chance to get up close and personal with manta rays, reef sharks and colorful fish, while for divers the resort is in close proximity to famous sites such as Broken Rock, Kudarah Thila and 5 Rocks.
Surround by a glorious white sandy beach and the only Resort in the Maldives designed in a colonial style with whitewashed timber buildings and meandering boardwalks, the Centara Grand Island Resort&Spa offers both stunning beachside and over-water accommodation, and in a relatively short time it has gained considerable market share. Mr. Klasicki went on to say that he is not surprised that reviews and opinions from Trip Advisor have been so positive, given the resort represents the ultimate in all-inclusive experiences and is truly unique in its totally immersive appeal. One of the truly innovative ways in which the Resort manages to be so relaxing is its ‘cash-free policy’ in which guests enjoying the “Ultimate All Inclusive” programme will find everything they desire already paid for – including champagne breakfasts, a choice of three lunch and dinner venues with themed international buffets and an open bar service which provides a scintillating array of cocktails, beers, wines and spirits.
