'Best Hotel in Channel Islands' Award for Pomme

Now when it comes to awards, I have always been a bit of a cynic. This is probably because I have rarely won any! Nominated plenty of times - but almost always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
However, winning is everything and last week I was proud to be present when The Pomme d'Or picked up a new award for 'Best Hotel in The Channel Islands'.

A lot of awards are decided by an individual or committee and can be a matter of subjectivity. The great thing about this award from HotelClub (one of the world's biggest online hotel booking agencies) is that the winners are chosen by hotel guests. Over 10,000 voted for their top hotel in each region of GB & Ireland and in our region, The Pomme came out top beating off competition from other hotels across the islands.

It's a great result for Luis de Oliveira and his team at the hotel and recognises all the hard work they have put in to achieve the highest standards of guest service. With the Royal Yacht and Radisson opening, the Pomme needs to be at the top of its game and this award gives the whole team a real boost.

As you can see, Luis looks pretty pleased about it. Nothing to do with the fact that he's standing next to Holly Beasley from 'Home & Away' Well she's a lot prettier than the guy on the right!
