What motivates travelers to post reviews about places they visit? In 2019, a group of scholars decided to tackle the topic, producing a 354-page treatise that offers this conclusion: People who take business and/or pleasure trips feel compelled to share their experiences because by doing so, they exhibit altruism, reciprocity and enjoy the positive influence they have on other people’s travel decisions.
A recent article found on the UK’s 3sixfive website states that “96% of travelers consider reviews important during the research phase of planning a holiday.” Plenty of them ignore the most extreme ones, relying instead on genuine feedback and accuracy.
Does one authority stand out from the pack? Condé Nast has been around since 1909 when founder Condé Montrose Nast began acquiring benchmark publications that include Condé Nast Traveler. To secure accurate reviews, a Readers’ Choice Award program was established. It’s a gold standard every traveler can count on, which is why Belize’s Coco Plum Island Resort is so proud to have earned more than one!
Why Coco Plum has garnered so many accolades
This adults-only island has more to recommend it than just the fact that it’s won awards. One of the most romantic Caribbean destinations available to visitors who don’t want to suffer through long plane rides or learn second languages, Coco Plum was designed with privacy and relaxation in mind. Oceanfront cabanas line the island, in a staggered pattern, to prioritize privacy. By opting for the resort’s Belize all inclusive package and add-ons, relaxation is assured.
Because Coco Plum has won several awards, including this year’s Conde Nast Traveler awards, staffers joke that they’re running out of wall space to display them, and according to guests whose influential votes have been gratefully received, the feedback they provide covers every facet of this resort’s perks, from food and digs to tours and amenities that make this island outstanding.
Would you like to find out why so many reviewers love Coco Plum?
There’s only one way to find out why guests keep coming back: Book accommodations. The sooner, the better. You’re advised to plan in advance since bookings fill fast. One of the reasons for this has to do with the occasional deal Coco Plum offers travelers eager to save money. If that describes you, you can add “saving money” to your reasons for selecting this resort over competitors.
Those awards say everything there is to know about the quality and degree of service and pays tribute to every friendly staff member who excels at making each guest feel like the only one on the island. If that doesn’t sound like exactly the getaway you need and want, maybe you should ignore those reviews and take a chance on a dartboard pick. Nah. Forget the dartboard and believe what you read within those stellar Condé Nast Traveler votes authored by delighted guests!
