If everything about popularity contests intrigues you, and you like to keep tabs on top consumer picks when it comes to your passion for travel, breaking news that publisher Condé Nast will announce winners of its 2024 Travelers’ Choice Awards on October 1st, is likely to get your attention. This company’s media brand attracts “more than 72 million consumers in print, 394 million in digital and 454 million across social media platforms,” according to Wikipedia!
Condé Nast has a storied history and a huge reputation to uphold, so tallying results of this annual contest is serious business, say members of the Readers’ Choice Team, who use a five-point scale converted to a percentage that determines where nominees are ranked. This is a complicated business—and even more, reason to celebrate being tagged as the #6 resort in Central America—no small feat for a tiny destination like Coco Plum Island Resort off Belize’s coast.
How does a small island win big?
No brainer, say travelers who seek a specific experience when they have a chance to escape the stressors that pervade their lives. This adults-only haven specializes in The Big Four: pampering, personal service, peace, and pleasure, an unbeatable mix of perks that bring guests back repeatedly. They know that Coco Plum’s atmosphere is laid-back, serene, and filled with advantages like the All Inclusive Snorkel Package that takes care of arrangements and frees guests to relax and unwind.
Guided snorkeling experiences are included with packages, but guests eager to explore challenges can add one or more adventures from Coco Plum’s tour menu, while plenty of guests admit that the adventures they want to have are the personal, private ones that only an adults-only resort provides. Couples are booked into one of the island’s discreet cabanas, each one located so far from the others, thus it’s like having the island all to yourselves.
Why readers felt compelled to vote for Coco Plum this year
“Having your own private cabana vs. being in a giant hotel or condo was really enjoyable and intimate,” one couple noted, while another guest admitted, “I’m a clean freak and was thrilled with the clean and modern cabana with the most comfortable bed and softest sheets ever!”
This is the kind of unsolicited feedback the crew at Coco Plum Island Resort receives every day, and the fact that management offers Belize vacation deals to couples who might not be able to afford this gorgeous getaway is a big deal, too.
When the official announcement of winners is made on October 1, 2024, by the Condé Nast folks, you can either be surprised or look smug—the second option is available to you if you’ve already booked a fall escape to Coco Plum. Who wouldn’t like to spread the word to friends about reserving a place on the island resort that was just named The #6 Best Resort in Central America by a travel publication that’s so well respected?
