TripAdvisor, the world’s largest travel site1 has announced Club Med as the recipient of several Certificate of Excellence Awards 2015 - 41 Club Med properties around the world were awarded with the Certificate of Excellence and 17 resorts were listed in the Hall of Fame for winning the certificate over five consecutive years, namely Club Med Bintan Island, Club Med Kani, Club Med La Plantation d’Albion, Club Med Hokkaido and Club Med Peisey – Vallandry.

Other outstanding resorts that have garnered TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence Awards 2015 were Club Med Cherating Beach (Malaysia), Club Med Pragelato Vialattea (Italy), Club Med Valmorel (France) and Club Med Yabuli (China). 

The prestigious Certificate of Excellence Award honourees were determined by a proprietary algorithm that factors in a variety of user-generated content. This includes review ratings, overall rating, quantity and reviews. To qualify for a Certificate of Excellence, a hospitality business must maintain an overall TripAdvisor rating of at least four out of five, possess a minimum number of positive reviews, and listed on Trip Advisor for a minimum of twelve months. A property’s popularity ranking on TripAdvisor is also factored into the algorithm.

Club Med Sun Resorts Hall of Fame

Among the listed Club Med resorts in the Hall of Fame, Club Med Bintan Island, Kani, and La Plantation d’Albion are some the top favourite sun resorts in this region. Named the best resort for families in Asia2, Club Med Bintan Island is ideal for families, golfers and relaxation as the island has a striking history marked by fallen empires and the spice trade.

For those who fancy exploring underwater life on coral reefs and swimming in the turquoise lagoon, Club Med Kani is the perfect vacation destination. This tiny paradise in the Maldives archipelago has 75 lagoon suites and when viewed from above, it resembles a giant palm tree straddling the lagoon.

Club Med La Plantation d’Albion is yet another popular destination nestled in a bay. Cocooned by two white sandy beaches in Mauritius with the Indian Ocean gently lapping its shores, this 21-hectare resort is the ultimate romantic escapade, with luxurious accommodation, gourmet dining, breath-taking sunsets and exceptional pampering.
