Conde Nast, the leading US travel publishing company, annually checks out a
selection of new hotels and prepares its annual hot list. To prepare the list
their reporters visit the pre-selected hotels ?incognito, accepting no freebies
and showing no favor?. They score the hotel on its look, location and service.
This year the magazine?s reporters checked out a record 116 properties?spanning
38 countries on six continents? that they feel reflect ?the global triumph of
thrilling authenticity over the dulling, dutiful comforts of the cookie cutter.?
This year, Playa Dorada?s brand new Casa Colonial was included in the five
Caribbean properties. For the complete list, see
