Grenada's premier luxury hideaway, Spice Island Beach Resort (www.SpiceIslandBeachResort.com) has been named "Most Excellent Resort" in the Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific by the authoritative Condé Nast Johansens at an awards presentation held earlier today at Caribbean Marketplace in the Bahamas.

Sir Royston Hopkin, accompanied by Lady Hopkin, was humbled as his model for a timeless luxury retreat centered around the impeccable standards of an elegant family-run resort achieved top status in the international luxury travel guide of the most trusted name in travel publishing, Condé Nast Publications Ltd.

"Once again I accept this honor on behalf of the entire dedicated and hardworking team at Spice Island Beach Resort – my management, our food & beverage and culinary staff, reservations specialists, housekeepers, gardeners, maintenance, all employees. Each one plays an integral role in the creation of relaxing, enjoyable, service-oriented vacations personalized for each discerning guest," said Sir Royston.

Spice Island Beach Resort was selected from an exclusive collection of luxury, boutique hotels, inns and resorts throughout the Atlantic, Caribbean and Pacific Islands. Readers of the guides, hotel guests and the Condé Nast Johansens inspection team all contributed votes in the selection process.
