Leading online travel agency Expedia has rated Kempinski Hotel Ajman among the World's Best Hotels, placing the luxury beach resort on the highly coveted Expedia Insiders' Select List for 2010.
Kempinski Hotel Ajman was placed in the top three in terms of scores achieved among the 16 UAE hotels that featured on the list, with 87% of Expedia travelers (7 out of 8) recommending the resort.
The Expedia Insiders' Select List 2010 was chosen from among 114,000 hotels and resorts, with scores reflecting the opinions of over a million travelers, combined with a value rating and the input of more than 400 Expedia experts worldwide.
The selection serves to identify and present only the very best hotels and resorts in the world – in terms of consistently high quality of guest experience, services, amenities and exceptional value – in the form of an easily browseable list by geographical region or country, on the strength of trusted traveler insight.
Ulrich T Eckhardt, Managing Director, Kempinski Hotel Ajman says the award reinforces the resort's long-standing popularity and ability to offer an exceptional level of quality in terms of accommodation, service, food and beverage options, as well as beach and water-sports amenities to guests visiting the UAE.
"Being selected to be a part of the Expedia Insiders' Select List is a great vote of confidence from both, our valued guests and the travel industry. As with all other accolades that are based on first-hand experience, it is particularly notable as it indicates that our guests are happy to recommend us to other travelers because they are confident of the consistent quality of our product and service – and that is the best form of endorsement we could ever hope to achieve," said Eckhardt.
Kempinski Hotel Ajman was also awarded Best Rate Competitiveness 2010 in the Middle East at the award ceremony held recently by Expedia at the Ibis World Trade Centre Dubai hotel. "Picking up this accolade in addition helps assert our competitiveness within the market, which in today's value and price-sensitive travel climate ensures our guests they can enjoy Kempinski Hotel Ajman's outstanding offering at the best possible price." added Eckhardt.
