Curaçao resort named a “Leading Small Hotel of the World”
Lodge Kurá Hulanda and Beach Club meets exacting standards to earn prestigious certification
Willemstad, Curaçao (December 18, 2006) – Lodge Kurá Hulanda and Beach Club has joined its sister property, Hotel Kurá Hulanda Spa and Casino, on the prestigious Leading Small Hotels of the World list. This esteemed acclamation is highly sought after and only a handful of the hundreds of hotels who apply qualify.
Hotels that apply to be a Leading Hotel must be a deluxe, five-star property and pass a comprehensive inspection of 1,500 specific criteria that range from how the reservations phone call is answered to having the proper hangers in the closet to whether or not guests’ shoes are paired and arranged neatly by housekeeping. The anonymous evaluation covers all aspects of accommodations, service, cuisine and facilities.
“We were confident in the submission of our request for review by the Leading Small Hotels of the World, as the lodge was built with only the highest standards and requirements, and our staff are trained to provide the utmost in customer service,” stated Peter Heinen, president of Project Kurá Hulanda. “It’s not only that Leading Hotels requires exacting standards and superlative quality, but we also require and expect that of ourselves.”
