In addition to receiving the Travellers' Choice Award, Mermaid Hotel and Club also secured the coveted Travellers' Choice Best of the Best award, placing it among the top 1% of listings globally.

This distinction recognises the highest-rated destinations, accommodations and experiences reviewed by the Tripadvisor community. Like the Travellers' Choice Awards, the Best of the Best accolade is based on authentic reviews submitted by travellers over a 12-month period.

Jetwing Hotels Managing Director Dmitri Cooray said: "We are proud to have 24 of our properties recognised in the 2026 Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Awards, with Mermaid Hotel and Club being named 'Best of the Best'.
