Forbes Travel Guide is the world-renowned authority on hospitality excellence, and Cayo Levantado Resort is the latest addition to its illustrious annual list of star ratings.

The evaluation methodology used by Forbes involves a process that considers 900 objective criteria including aspects such as luxury and the experience provided by the establishment. In addition, as of 2023, a new metric was implemented where 70% of the rating is based on the quality of service, with a more demanding look at the guest experience.

“This year’s Star Awards reflect the predicted increase in demand for more exciting travel experiences,” says Amanda Frasier, president of Forbes Travel Guide Ratings. “They are standing out at the top of their game and reimagining the future of luxury in design, dining and wellness. Our 2024 winners include more special places to visit in the Middle East and Africa, with a record number of additions to the list for the region. We congratulate all 2024 winners for continuing to deliver a fresh and new guest experience.”

In an environment under the concept “The Luxury of Regenerating”, the hotel takes “meticulous” care of every detail to facilitate a journey towards self-discovery and connection with oneself. More than just a vacation, it offers a unique wellness experience that invites each guest to find their hidden rhythm through four paths: Refresh, Restore, Relax and Renew, designed to promote reconnection between mind, body and spirit.

n the heart of serenity, Cayo Levantado Resort invites guests to experience an oasis of tranquility with a unique wellness proposal in the region. Standing out as a novel offer, it has the first self-knowledge center in the Caribbean, Yubarta. This innovative space blends harmoniously with the lush tropical gardens in the center of the Key, offering more vegetation and silence on the island.

Named Yubarta in honor of the humpback whales native to Samana, it provides a unique experience of personal development, where each individual is immersed in nature and encounters his or her inner self. To learn more about the proposal of Cayo Levantado Resort, you can access the website.
