Good Housekeeping selected its travel award winners with input from more than 125 travel testers—including staff members, industry experts, and consumer evaluators—who reviewed hundreds of destinations across five continents. Each participant completed surveys and submitted photos and videos from their experiences. Criteria for hotels included service quality, value, food options, entertainment offerings, room design, and overall atmosphere. Destination ratings took into account attractions’ appeal, accessibility, lodging variety, and safety.
Additionally, engineers and analysts from the Good Housekeeping Institute tested travel gear for performance and durability in laboratory settings. Products were further evaluated by 116 consumer testers during domestic and international trips using various modes of transportation.
“We’re thrilled to be honored by Good Housekeeping for our family-friendly spirit and signature Key West hospitality,” said Regional Director of Operations Milos Davidovic. “Whether guests are exploring the island, relaxing by the pool, or sharing stories over a sunset cocktail, we’re proud to create moments that reflect the fun, warmth, and easygoing charm that make this destination so special.”
