Agoda.com and TripAdvisor awards for Cantaloupe Aqua

Cantaloupe Aqua, a private Resort and Beach Club in Thalpe, Habaraduwa was recently honoured by two accolades: the Gold Circle Award from Agoda.com and the 2013 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor.

“These two awards, received for the second consecutive year is tantamount to what Cantaloupe Aqua stands for. Being the only Sri Lankan establishment to have been awarded the Agoda Gold Circle for two years running is also worthy of a mention. The allure of Cantaloupe Aqua is unmistakeable. The hotel’s personality, its design ethos all offer up a perfect combo making this a ‘must-see’ property,” said Cantaloupe Villas Pvt. Ltd. Founder/CEO Dmitri Jayasuriya.

Launched in 2009, the Agoda Gold Circle awards are given to those who are committed to accommodating the unique needs of the online booking industry, which has seen significant and steady global growth as technology continues to make online booking faster, easier and more convenient.

“This year, we have awarded hotels across the globe for their commitment to online revenue management and consistently offering great value at a fair price to Agoda.com customers,” stated Agoda Director of Hotels Errol Cooke.

TripAdvisor’s Certificate of Excellence Award is one that honours hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveller reviews on TripAdvisor, and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide.

TripAdvisor President and CEO Stephen Kaufer said, “The Certificate of Excellence award provides top performing establishments the recognition they deserve, based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers.”

Commenting further Jayasuriya said, “We strive to offer our guests a memorable experience and these two awards are evidence that our hard work is translating into satisfied guests and positive reviews on both TripAdvisor and Agoda. Only the top-performing properties listed on TripAdvisor receive this prestigious award and it is a great honour for us to be among the best hotels in Sri Lanka. These awards are based on reviews by travellers, and thus, a humble thank you goes out to all our guests and for their positive feedback.”
