LORETO, Baja California Sur, Mexico – August 6, 2020 – Villa del Palmar Beach Resort & Spa at the Islands of Loreto announced today that it has been recognized as a
2020 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award winner, the 9th time in a row the beach resort in Loreto has been given this accolade. This award, which is based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, is given to businesses known for consistently receiving great traveler feedback, placing them in the top 10% of hospitality businesses around the planet.
“This is the ninth consecutive year we’ve been recognized among the best hotels in Mexico by Tripadvisor,” said Sixto Navarro, General Manager of the resort, “and with each new award, we feel a renewed sense of pride and accomplishment. We know that without our guests, none of this would be possible and that is why we strive each and every day to do our best so that those who choose Villa del Palmar at the Islands of Loreto have the best experiences and create the ultimate memories on their vacation.”

Award winners are beloved for their exceptional service and quality. Not only are these winners well deserving, they are also a great source of inspiration for travelers as the world begins to venture out again.”
Along with so many aspects of the travel industry, Tripadvisor made a number of changes to their award program this year, doing away with the Certificate of Excellence and replacing it with the Travelers’ Choice Award title. The company felt as though this was a clearer way to distinguish the top performing businesses in the industry so that travelers from around the world would have an easier time making decisions about where to dine, stay, and spend their time. While the name has changed, travelers can still rely on the Tripadvisor recognition to point them to the very best in the industry.
