American Automobile Association (AAA)
announced that Couples Sans Souci has received the coveted 2007 AAA
Four-Diamond Award for the 8th consecutive year, recognizing the hotel for
the finest in luxurious service, decor and amenities. Couples Sans Souci is known for its unparalleled spa treatments, renowned
cuisine, first-class service and rich ambience, as well as its superior
commitment to quality, making this all-inclusive resort the ultimate setting
for a romantic getaway. The AAA Four-Diamond Award is presented to those
hotel properties that have earned exceptional ratings during inspections
conducted by AAA professionals.

“Sans Souci has received this prestigious award every year since I became GM
eight years ago,” commented Pierre Paul Battaglia, General Manager of
Couples Sans Souci. “The staff has worked very hard year after year to
achieve this amazing recognition and I’d like to commend them for their
efforts.”

 

To be considered for AAA rating and approval, restaurants and lodgings must
undergo at least two extensive, impromptu annual inspections a year by one
of the organization’s 65 full-time, professional evaluators.  Properties
must meet 27 necessary requirements based on member expectations in the
categories of cleanliness, comfort, security, and safety.  Properties that
are approved are assigned a rating of one to five AAA Diamonds.  The
Diamond ratings signify the range of services, amenities, and decor
provided.  Approximately 32,000 hotels in the US, Canada, Mexico, and the
Caribbean are AAA approved and diamond rated.

 

In order to be granted the Four-Diamond rating that Couples Sans Souci
received, establishments must be upscale in all areas. The AAA website
states that Four-Diamond resorts means, “Accommodations are progressively
more refined and stylish. The physical attributes reflect an obvious
enhanced level of quality throughout the hotel and include an extensive
array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service, and
attention to detail.”  Hotels must meet AAA’s highest rating standards,
reflecting the ultimate in luxury and sophistication, and are subject to
final review by a special Four-Diamond committee.  The Four-Diamond award
epitomizes not only the level of excellence of the property but also of the
staff’s dedication to maintaining the highest standards of service for its
guests.  Couples Sans Souci’s dedication to providing a relaxing, enjoyable
retreat of uncompromising quality has earned the AAA Four-Diamond rating.
