Travel + Leisure World's Best 2009 - #5 Best Resort in Central & South America

In Travel + Leisure's 14th annual poll, readers were asked to rate the best hotels, cruises, airlines, outfitters, cities, islands, and more.“This year’s results reflect our readers’ travel interests in this challenging economic reality - value, intimacy, service, and discovery are top priorities,” says Nancy Novogrod, editor-in-chief.

Anne Wood, Managing Director of Coppola Resorts comments, “I’d like to dedicate the award to Mr. & Mrs. Coppola’s unique vision and to the wonderful staff of Blancaneaux Lodge and Turtle Inn. The awards reflect two world-class locations and superb amenities yet it is the individual service, creativity and flexibility offered by our dedicated team that has ultimately been recognized by the readers of Travel + Leisure. We work hard to differentiate ourselves through attention to detail, personal service and unique experiences and the staff are proud to know that their efforts have been recognized."
