The new Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa has been chosen a winner of 2011 Awards for Excellence by Condé Nast Johansens, the international luxury travel guide. This very prestigious award is presented to only the best properties after a very rigorous scrutiny and Puerto Vallarta’s Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa was named "The Most Excellent Resort in México and Central America." The winners are voted in by the Conde Nast Johansen inspection agents as well
The Guide’s easy-to-use format simplifies the independent traveler’s task of selecting and booking accommodations. Each Guide features rich, full-color exterior and interior hotel photographs, and details about facilities, rates and contact information, everything a guest needs to make an informed decision about a reservation.
The Guides, which are celebrating their 29th year of publication in Europe, have attracted a loyal readership in the United States by guaranteeing that each recommended property undergoes a rigorous annual inspection process to ensure exceptional quality is maintained.
A property is specially selected for its dedication to the highest standards of comfort, unique personality, warmth and service, impressive facilities and surroundings. Only then is it awarded the "Condé Nast Mark of Excellence" wall plaque. This distinctive sign is a visible endorsement for more than 10 million of the world’s most discerning and experienced travelers.
The Condé Nast Johannes’s website, a vital part of the Condé Nast Johannes’s benefits, reflects the varying ways in which the Guides’ users research hotels and destinations. The user friendly website allows visitors to find a hotel by country, state, island, or keyword search. The site sends an availability request directly to the hotels. Other features of the site include a meeting venue finder, Luxury Spas, special offers, and online gift certificate and guide purchasing.
Readers also interact and find suggestions via the new Condé Nast Johannes’s social media sites on both Facebook and Twitter. Brand new in early 2011 will be the innovative and interactive Condé Nast Johansens iPad application.
The winners of the Condé Nast Johansens 2011 Awards for Excellence, The Americas, Atlantic, Caribbean & Pacific are:
