June 2, 2008, Soufrière, Saint Lucia, West Indies – The June issue of Travel + Leisure magazine features their annual listing of the World's Best Hotels for Service and Ladera has once again ranked high on the distinguished list. With a near-perfect score of 92.86 out of a possible 100, Ladera holds the distinction of being the only Saint Lucian hotel to be recognized in the prestigious issue.
The 2008 list marks the third consecutive year that Ladera has been designated as one of the "World's Best" by Travel + Leisure. Ladera's identification as one of the top ten Caribbean properties is based on the results from a survey of Travel + Leisure's discerning readers. The honor indicates that the magazine's readers appreciate the above and beyond service that Ladera provides to its valued guests.
"Ladera owes a great part of this honor to the island of Saint Lucia," says Robert Stewart, General Manager. "Without the island's well-earned reputation of providing exceptional hospitality and a warm welcome to all of its visitors, Ladera's success would not be possible. We share this accolade with our fantastic Saint Lucian staff, whose tireless commitment to excellence in service and customer satisfaction has evidently resulted in many satisfied guests, with fond memories of their Saint Lucian experience."
