Le Touessrok, flagship of Sun Resorts and member of The Leading Hotels of the World, has been named 'Best Hotel in the Indian Ocean' by The Daily Telegraph’s luxury travel magazine, Ultratravel.
“We are extremely pleased to note that for the second consecutive year, the esteemed Ultratravel magazine has placed Le Touessrok as one of the best hotels in the world and the best in the Indian Ocean. This commendation from the part of UK guests is a tribute to this wonderful hotel and its team,” says Arnaud Martin, Chief Sales & Marketing Officer of Sun Resorts.
The ‘2011 Ultratravel Awards’ ceremony took place at the prestigious Savoy in London and Jean Pierre Bosquet, Director of Sales & Marketing for Sun Resorts in the United Kingdom, was presented this award which stands as a recognition of the best brands in the luxury travel industry. The award this year was presented by the 'Help for Heroes' charity, a very high profile UK charity helping servicemen and women who have been wounded during various conflicts around the world.
Le Touessrok won this year’s award, topping the list in front of hotels like Banyan Tree and Huvafen Fushi in the Maldives; and Le Saint Géran and Oberoi in Mauritius. In 2010, Le Touessrok had already won the much coveted ‘Best Beach/Resort Hotel’ award by Ultratravel. As written by famous travel writer Victoria Mather: “Again, Le Touessrok is a favourite, the first hotel where I had my sunglasses cleaned by beach staff and was sprayed with iced Evian.”
Sjefke Jansen, General Manager of Le Touessrok, commented on this award: “Yet another award for our hotel; nevertheless, we do not wish to remain idle in our permanent quest for quality and excellence to please our guests. The Daily Telegraph Ultratravel award is an acknowledgement of our management’s and team’s commitment to ultimate guest satisfaction.”
The award is decided by Ultratravel’s readers, who are asked about their best experiences in luxury travel; they then vote for their favourite. Ultratravel magazine has over a million readers with the Ultratravel awards running for four years.
