October 22, 2008, Soufrière, St. Lucia, West Indies – The November issue of Condé Nast Traveler, now hitting newsstands, includes the results of the magazine's 21st Annual Readers' Choice Awards. The magazine's annual survey distinguishes the best of the best in destinations, lodgings, and transportation, as determined by the intrepid readers of Condé Nast Traveler. Ladera is the only Saint Lucian property included among the Top 10 Hotels in the Caribbean.
Ladera was selected as the fifth best hotel in the Caribbean with an impressive score of 88.4 out of a possible 100. This marks the seventh consecutive year that Ladera has been included in this prestigious list, confirming Ladera's unwavering commitment to providing exceptional hospitality and outstanding accommodations. Because the rankings are decided by the 32,633 savvy readers who participated in the 2008 survey, the honor is particularly meaningful as it is a direct reflection of the Ladera guest experience.
"Ladera is honored to be recognized by the discerning readers of Condé Nast Traveler once again," says Kevin Sinnett, General Manager. "Being recognized by this group of tastemakers year after year is a testament to the strong work ethic and remarkable warmth of our renowned Saint Lucian staff. We are grateful to be among such impressive company, and to continue to earn the attention and praise of the well-traveled Condé Nast Traveler readers."
