On Wednesday, Hotel Effie Sandestin announced that it has been recognized by Tripadvisor as a 2022 Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best award winner for hotels. 

Based on a full year of Tripadvisor reviews, the Travelers’ Choice Awards is awarded to the top 1% of all hotels worldwide in guest comments and reviews, honoring the best in travel and recognizing the places that delivered the most exceptional experiences. 

“Being one of the premier luxury offerings in Miramar Beach, we are thrilled to be recognized as one of Best of the Best Hotels by Tripadvisor,” said Brad Busby, general manager of Hotel Effie. “Just after our first year opening, we have received strong praise for bringing genuine southern hospitality to the Emerald Coast – the essence on which our hotel was built. None of this would be possible without our loyal customers having recognized we strive to put them first, welcoming each and every guest with open arms. ”

As guests check in, they’re greeted with a warm or cold towel to refresh themselves after traveling. This is followed by a welcome cocktail for them to enjoy as they make their way to their scenic guest room. 

Hotel Effie is home to four culinary concepts by celebrity, 2x James Beard award-winning chef, Hugh Acheson, and is constantly surprising guests with innovative design, attention to detail and special treats.

(The treats include homemade chocolate chip cookies that are quietly placed at the elevator banks each evening.)

“Congratulations to the 2022 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Best of the Best Winners,” said Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at Tripadvisor. “The Travelers’ Choice Awards recognize the best in tourism and hospitality, according to those who matter most: your guests.”
