What are the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards?
Presented annually, the Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards honour the best-rated destinations, attractions, and hospitality businesses based on millions of verified reviews from travellers. To receive the award, businesses must consistently deliver outstanding service, quality, and guest satisfaction over the past 12 months.
Tripadvisor states that winners represent the top 10% of listings worldwide and reflect “the best of the best” in travel experiences.

According to Woolacombe Bay’s Sales and Marketing Director, Kevin Darvill, the fact that these awards are based on genuine customer feedback makes the honour especially meaningful.
“We’re extremely thrilled at this outcome, and what makes it so special is that it’s our customers who are providing this feedback and assessing their stays as excellent,” said Kevin.
“It’s a true testimony to the hard work and passion which our team puts into making every holiday memorable, and they deserve a big share of the credit for these awards.”
He added that the group’s focus on continual improvement and reinvestment has played a key role in earning guest loyalty and recognition:
