Being nominated for a Condé Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Award is a significant honor for any resort/property, reflecting recognition by a discerning global community of travelers rather than just industry insiders or critics. This year, the CoralTree Residence Collection is honored to have four properties selected:
The Lodge at Kukui’ula – Kauai, HI
Wailea Beach Villas – Maui, HI
Montaneros in Vail – Vail, CO
The Islands of Islamorada – Florida Keys, FL
Here's what it means for a property to receive such a nomination:
Recognition by Travelers Worldwide:
The Readers' Choice Awards are unique because the winners are chosen based on votes from Condé Nast Traveler’s readership—an audience of experienced and passionate travelers from around the world. This means a nomination signals that a hotel has delivered memorable, high-quality guest experiences that resonate deeply with real guests, not just experts or editorial panels.
Validation of Excellence and Quality:
To be eligible for nomination, hotels must meet strict criteria, including receiving a minimum number of responses and high overall ratings from guests. This ensures that nominees represent the best in hospitality, consistently providing exceptional service, comfort, and unique experiences. The award is considered one of the longest-running and most prestigious accolades in the travel industry, symbolizing excellence and prestige.
Enhanced Reputation and Visibility:
A nomination places a hotel among the elite in the global travel community, often leading to increased visibility and desirability among potential guests. Hotels use this recognition to showcase their commitment to quality and guest satisfaction.
