The best of the best.

Readers can cast their ballots now through September 30 across a slate of properties nominated by Caribbean Journal’s editors.

Caribbean Journal, the largest Caribbean travel media platform, has opened public voting for its new Best Hotels in the Caribbean program, inviting readers to weigh in on the most exceptional properties across the region.

Voting runs now through September 30. The field of nominees has been selected by Caribbean Journal’s editorial team, drawing on more than 15 years of of on-the-ground coverage of the Caribbean’s hotels, resorts and island retreats. Readers are invited to cast their votes for the properties that have left the strongest impression, from grand beachfront resorts to intimate boutique hideaways.

Voting is broken down by destination.

The program reflects a simple idea: that the travelers who know these islands best should have a say in recognizing the hotels that define them. Caribbean Journal’s editors have nominated the contenders, and now the publication’s audience of one million monthly readers will help decide which properties stand above the rest.

“The Caribbean is home to some of the most remarkable hotels anywhere in the world, and our editors have spent years getting to know them,” said Alexander Britell, editor in chief and founder of Caribbean Journal. “This is a chance for our readers to tell us which ones have truly captured them. Congratulations to all of the nominees!”

Results will be revealed after voting closes, spotlighting the properties that resonate most with the people who travel the region year-round. The program builds on Caribbean Journal’s broader editorial mission of guiding travelers toward the very best of Caribbean hospitality, and of recognizing the hotels and teams raising the standard across the islands.
