Awards from Inn at Pelican Bay

The best hotels have a variety of awards and certifications to prove they meet or exceed certain standards in the industry as well as the expectations of their guests. Although reviews are important, awards can tell you a lot, too.

 

At the Inn at Pelican Bay in Naples, we were honored to receive the Tripadvisor Traveler’s Choice Award for 2022. That means it is in the Top 10% of hotels worldwide.

 

The award celebrates businesses that have received great traveler reviews on Tripadvisor over the last 12 months. As challenging as the last few years have been, the Inn at Pelican Bay stood out by consistently delivering positive experiences for the guests.

 

That’s not the only award the Inn at Pelican Bay has received. For the last 8 years, it has been a AAA Four Diamond Hotel. Fewer than 10 hotels in Naples are Four Diamond rated.

 

What does a Four Diamond rating mean? According to AAA, “these establishments are upscale in all areas. Accommodations are progressively more refined and stylish. The physical attributes reflect an obvious enhanced level of quality throughout. The fundamental hallmarks at this level include an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and attention to detail.”

 

The diamond rating process is North America’s premier hotel rating program. About 32,000 hotels throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean are AAA Approved and Diamond rated.

 

In addition to the Four Diamond rating, the Inn at Pelican Bay received the Inspector’s Best of Housekeeping award. AAA’s professionally trained inspectors perform an on-site evaluation to analyze the hotel's conditions against their high cleanliness expectations.

 

These awards are based not only on professional standards but customer input. We work hard to provide a clean, beautiful place to stay while offering guests excellent customer service.
