Spa Finder, Inc., the global spa resource, has announced that the Larimar Spa at Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino has been named among the top 10 best spas in the world for the “Best Water Sports” category in its fifth annual Spa Finders Readers’ Choice Awards. Based on thousands of votes submitted by Spafinder.com visitors and Luxury SpaFinder Magazine, the awards represent the most complete consumer assessment of the global spa market.
“Now in its fifth year, our Readers’ Choice Awards have become the industry’s premier award program – the spa world’s answer to the Academy Awards,” said Spa Finder, Inc. President Susie Ellis. “With a huge surge in international voting and more than twice as many votes overall compared to last year, this represents an especially meaningful validation of the spa experience provided by the Larimar Spa at Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino.”
“The Larimar Spa at Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino has garnered multiple awards in the travel and spa industries after being open less than one year,” states Gary Jutz, general manager of Radisson Aruba Resort & Casino. “The oceanfront facility and its caring staff continue to raise the standards of guest expectations on Aruba and throughout the Caribbean.”
Known for signature treatments which incorporate local Aloe-Vera, Palmera Rum, Black Beach Stones and Seroe Quartz Crystals, the Larimar Spa at Radisson Aruba opened in late 2006 as the most comprehensive spa on Aruba. The $5.2 million facility offers 40+ services in nine separate treatment rooms, a state-of-the-art Fitness Center facing the sea and a full-service salon. The Larimar Spa is a stand-alone structure, contemporary in design, featuring breakout areas that include a central courtyard and private terraces. The leading spa product line of Thalgo “La Beaute Marine” and Jamu are used in services and available for purchase in the spa boutique. The Larimar Spa features an informative Web site www.LarimarSpaAruba.com.
To help spa consumers identify the best spas for their unique goals, Spa Finder asked its readers and web visitors to name their picks for the best spas in 23 specific categories – from “best accommodations” and “best cuisine,” to “best for men” and “best urban hotel spa.” Spa-goers also selected their favorite spas in more than 20 global regions and their overall favorite spas on six continents. In all, ballots were cast for more than 1,500 different spa properties worldwide. Voters were asked to only cast ballots for spas they’ve personally visited within the past three years.
