Ambergris Cay announced that it has been named the No. 2 all-inclusive resort in the Caribbean and No. 18 all-inclusive resort worldwide in Tripadvisor's® Travelers' Choice® Awards Best of the Best 2026. Tripadvisor's highest distinction, the Best of the Best awards recognize the top 1% of hotels and hospitality businesses worldwide based on outstanding traveler reviews and ratings collected over the past year.

As the world's largest travel guidance platform, Tripadvisor has unparalleled authority among travelers. The Travelers' Choice Best of the Best awards are based on authentic, first-hand reviews and ratings submitted by travelers over a 12-month period, making them a trusted indicator of travelers' favorite destinations, hotels, restaurants and experiences around the world.

"Congratulations to Ambergris Cay on being recognized in Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards Best of the Best for 2026," said Laurel Greatrix, Chief Communications Officer, Tripadvisor Group. "Earning a place among the top 1% of listings worldwide is no small feat.

The recognition comes during a milestone year for Ambergris Cay, marked by the introduction of its new Waterside Bungalows and continued enhancements to the guest experience. As part of its evolution, the private island resort is also preparing to debut a new Kids Club for the 2026 festive season, further expanding its appeal for multi-generational family travel while maintaining its signature luxury all-inclusive experience.  

The collection of 12 one- and two-bedroom waterfront accommodations expands the resort's luxury all-inclusive offering with private heated plunge pools, direct water access for kayaking and paddleboarding, and a design tailored to families, groups of friends, and couples.
