The Reefs has been voted among the three best hotels for quality of service in the Caribbean region in the prestigious Travel and Leisure Magazine "World's Best" list.

Only two other hotels in the Caribbean, Bermuda and Bahamas section were judged by readers to be any better than the Island's when it comes to the level of service given to visitors.

And The Reefs is rated fourth best overall in the annual rankings by the readers of the magazine and Conde Nast Traveler.

In a list of the 11 best in the region the Four Seasons in Nevis leads the way, followed by the Jamaica Inn in Jamaica and then The Reefs just half a point behind the second placed hotel.

"The Reefs is a remarkable hotel and I am exceptionally proud to be working with some of the finest people in the entire hotel industry," said Ben Tutt, who was appointed managing director of The Reefs a month ago.

"All the credit for this award goes to the dedicated and hard working staff at this fine hotel. They have proven themselves time and again to exemplify the finest of Bermudian hospitality."

In the listing the Nevis' Four Seasons scored 94.69 points out of 100 for its service, with the Jamaica Inn on 91.67 and The Reefs on 91.23.
