The recent recognitions include three resorts named as best in their region by Forbes; 15 nominations for the 2023 Readers’ Choice Awards from Condé Nast Traveler and 11 2023 Travelers’ Choice Awards from TripAdvisor.

Taken together and during an exceptional year of industry accreditations, the honors frame Blue Diamond Resorts as an innovator of high-quality hospitality in family, adults-only, corporate, incentive, and other categories at properties ranging from boutique hotels to multifaceted tropical beachfront resorts. They also serve as a testament to the timely recovery and continued growth of the hospitality industry within the Caribbean market and beyond.

Since its founding in 2010 and the debut of its first property the following year, Blue Diamond Resorts has been recognized as a leader in the Caribbean and has taken competitive advantage of that status to open new properties while polishing and building upon the beloved features and captivating activities of its existing resorts. The recent honors and nominations make the case for continued expansion with new properties on the horizon including Hideaway at Royalton Blue Waters, An Autograph Collection All-Inclusive Resort – Adults Only, which is now open for bookings and will begin welcoming guests to Jamaica in late November; and Royalton CHIC Antigua, which is scheduled to open in early April 2024.
