US News & World Report has named the Radisson Blu Resort, Marina & Spa St. Martin the #1 hotel in St. Martin! The positive ratings from guests – and its Yes I Can! service philosophy –helped the resort win the top ranking. The idyllic location of the resort is another one of its appealing traits. The recently renovated luxury resort is nestled in the secluded cove of Anse Marcel on a pristine stretch of white sand beach.

“The entire Radisson Blu St Martin Team is delighted to learn of this great recognition from U.S. News and World Report,” said general manager Jean-marc Jalbert. “We are also humbled to be chosen #1 amongst 14 other upscale and luxury properties on the beautiful island of Saint Martin.”

Each year, U.S. News & World Report releases rankings of the Best Hotels in the USA and Best Hotels in the Caribbean. Rankings are based on an analysis of expert and user opinions. Scores are calculated from the weighted average for 1) awards and recognition, 2) star rating and 3) guest ratings on TripAdvisor.com.

Currently, the publication ranks only luxury hotels, which are defined as those that consistently receive a four- or five-star "hotel class" rating. Each hotel's place in the rankings takes into account the aggregate opinion of published travel experts and the overall customer satisfaction expressed in online guest reviews. The highest-ranking hotels are typically those that both experts and users recognize for their exceptional quality.
