Couples Resorts Clear Up Golden Apples
THE CARIBBEAN, October 4, 2005. Couples Resorts is the only all-inclusive in the Caribbean that received Apple Vacation's Golden Apple Award for every resort within the brand. All four Couples Resorts were awarded the company's Golden Apple at an awards ceremony held in Chicago, IL on September 13, 2005.
Couples' Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing Randy Russell was at the event to receive the award on Couples behalf. "As we've always said, it is these awards, the ones voted on by the consumer, that mean the most to us and that we are most proud of," Russell said.
Award recipients are chosen based on vacation satisfaction questionnaires completed by Apple vacationers upon their return home. Hotels and resorts are evaluated on the quality of its products, installations and services. The Golden Apple is only awarded to those hotels and resorts with the highest standards of excellence and exceptional hotel operations.
Couples Ocho Rios, Couples Sans Souci, Couples Swept Away and Couples Negril each received the award. "It makes sense that if one resort were to receive this accolade, then all four would because we make sure that they all uphold the highest standards; paying particular attention to providing exceptional and personalized service," commented Russell.
