For the fifth consecutive year, Acqualina Resort & Residences has been recognized as the Best Waterfront Hotel in the United States in the 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards by USA Today.

“We are honored to be recognized by our esteemed guests and readers of USA Today as the #1 Best Waterfront Hotel in America,” said Deborah Yager Fleming, CEO & Partner. “During these challenging times of COVID-19, we have worked very hard to achieve and maintain a high level of excellence all with a focus on creating the most exceptional luxury experiences while welcoming guests safely.”

A panel of experts partnered with USA Today’s 10Best editors to select the initial 20 nominees in the two categories, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.

In addition to the USA Today award, Acqualina also received the Forbes Five Star Award for both the hotel and spa for the ninth consecutive year and the AAA Five Diamond for the 13th consecutive year. Along with these prestigious accolades, US News and World Report named Acqualina the #1 Best Resort in the Continental US in their annual Best Hotel Awards and TripAdvisor recognized the resort as the #1 Luxury Beachfront Hotel in the Continental US.
