Forbes Travel Guide announced Acqualina Resort as a Five Star Hotel, making it the 12th year in a row the property has received this prestigious, ultra-exclusive industry accolade. In addition, Forbes Travel Guide awarded Acqualina Spa with a Five Star Spa rating.
Forbes Travel Guide is the gold standard for luxury hospitality ratings worldwide, and announces its Global Star Ratings yearly, listing the world’s finest hotels, restaurants, and spas. Only properties that meet Forbes’ hospitality standards — the most stringent in the industry — achieve a Five Star, Four Star, or Recommended rating. Professional inspectors check into and check out every property they rate regularly, evaluating 900 rigorous criteria to determine a Star Rating that takes the guesswork out of travel planning and establishes a global benchmark for luxury travel.
“We are absolutely elated that Acqualina has once again been honored with the distinguished Five-Star hotel and spa designation for the 12th consecutive year. This recognition highlights our core mission to providing unparalleled personalized service, ensuring our guests’ joy and tranquility, and creating unforgettable memories,” says Deborah Yager Fleming, CEO and Partner.

To mark the occasion, Acqualina invites guests to book the Five Star Experience Package. Guests receive the fifth night free when booking a five-night getaway. In addition, they can indulge in such offerings as a special welcome amenity, daily buffet breakfast for two, and complimentary Internet access.
