TAMPA, Fla. (August 5, 2020) – Mainsail Lodging & Development is proud to announce that five of its properties have been recognized in the 18th annual Traveler’s Choice Awards by Tripadvisor. Mainsail’s 2020 award-winning properties include Epicurean Hotel, Mainsail Beach Inn, Waterline Marina Resort, Fenway Hotel and Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina. The coveted annual award program celebrates travelers’ favorite hotels, restaurants, and airlines around the world, this year honoring 4,817 unique businesses comprising the top 10% of all listings on Tripadvisor. Winners were calculated based on the quality and quantity of the millions of reviews, opinions and ratings collected on Tripadvisor in 2019.
“There are nearly 9 million businesses listed on Tripadvisor, which makes these awards a true testament to the kind of outstanding service and quality Mainsail provides guests throughout our diverse portfolio of hotels and resorts,” said Joe Collier, president of Mainsail Lodging & Development. “This recognition brings some much needed good news to the hardworking teams who continue to give their all to deliver extraordinary guest experiences during these extraordinarily difficult times.”
The food-focused Epicurean Hotel in Tampa’s trendy Hyde Park has received the award each year since its December 2013 opening, leading to its induction into Tripadvisor’s Hall of Fame, along with fellow inductees Mainsail Beach Inn on Anna Maria Island, and Scrub Island Resort, a private-island resort in the British Virgin Islands, which has now won the award for 10 consecutive years. This is the third year Waterline Marina Resort has received the award, and second year for Fenway Hotel in Dunedin, Florida, which won the award in its opening year.
The Mainsail Lodging & Development properties have also been recognized on similar travel lists, including Travel + Leisure’s 500 World’s Best Hotels and World’s Best Family Hotel in the Caribbean, and Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice Awards for Best Hotels in Florida, among others.
