Oaks Hotels & Resorts earns twenty 

TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence Awards in 2017

17 June 2017 – The customer satisfaction stakes are continuing to heat up across the globe as TripAdvisor announces the recipients of its coveted Certificate of Excellence Awards for 2017, and leading the charge in the hotel category is Oaks Hotels & Resorts, who has strengthened its reputation as a leading accommodation provider of choice after receiving twenty awards across its property portfolio.

From Darwin to Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, Port Douglas, Melbourne, Redcliffe, Gladstone and Mackay, an impressive collection of the hotelier’s Australian network were among those properties recognised for consistently achieving outstanding traveller reviews, comprising both central city hotels, and regional and coastal resorts.

One region in particular also saw Oaks Hotels & Resorts reach a notable milestone, with Oaks M on Palmer in Townsville, Queensland, receiving a Certificate of Excellence Award for the sixth consecutive year in the four-star accommodation category.

A number of international properties have also taken out this year’s award, including Oaks Club Resort in Queenstown, New Zealand; Oaks Sathorn in Bangkok, Thailand, as well as Oaks Liwa Heights and Oaks Liwa Executive Heights in the United Arab Emirates.

Chief Operations Officer of Oaks Hotels & Resorts, Mr Mike Anderson, commented, “We take great pride in delivering our guests with the highest possible standard of accommodation and service at every Oaks Hotels & Resorts property across Australia and overseas.

“Our brand is renowned for providing our guests with self-contained convenience and essential comforts, and above all else a memorable stay, so to be recognised for this at so many of our properties is a true accolade. We will strive to reach this level of excellence at every hotel and resort within our network.”
