Club Med celebrates win with deal

Club Med Cherating Beach, which re-opened last April after an extensive refurbishment exercise, has clinched one of the hospitality industry’s highest accolades by winning the coveted Best Five-star Resort Award in the Hospitality Asia Platinum Awards 2005-2006.

Casting a spell over a panel of judges put together to determine the best service providers in the hospitality industry, Club Med Cherating Beach, swept away the competition in the category to bag the prestigious award; a clear testament to the high standard of services and products offered by Club Med’s pioneer village in Southeast Asia.

Club Med Cherating Beach was nominated in eight different categories including Service Excellence Hotel/Resort, Best Family Resort, Best Malay Cuisine Chef, Best Pastry Chef, Best All Day Dining, Best Five-star Resort, Best Spa Concept and Best Spa Experience.

Commenting on the win, Club Med’s Asia Pacific President and CEO Mr Joel Tiphonnet said that the award is the ultimate recognition in the hospitality industry as it is awarded by the peers in the industry.

“We began with a vision to create a revolutionary new holiday experience and Club Med Cherating Beach is the realization of that dream. The results are simply breath-taking and awe-inspiring,” he said.

“We are proud that Club Med has set new benchmarks in the travel industry; one that we hope to keep raising progressively as we strive to reinvent ourselves and offer even more to our guests. We take pride in setting new trends in the hospitality industry and we are very honoured to have received this award, which will motivate us to keep exceeding customer demands and expectations in the coming months and years,” he added.
