SLH’s infamous Mystery Inspectors also had their say based on
their experiences whilst staying at each and every one of SLH
hotels over the last twelve months, with Casas Del XVI in the
Dominican Republic coming out top based on a combination of
guest reviews, inspection scores and overall quality rating.
Also new for this year was an award to recognize a significant
newcomer to the SLH family – this year Nobu Hotel Ibiza
Bay was the outstanding winner. Since opening in June, the
hotel has received an unprecedented level of interest, press
coverage and reservations.
