Expedia has named the Grand Case Beach Club to its top 650 hotels world-wide which form a prestigious part of its Insiders’ Select List.

The List, based on actual reviews, represents only small percentage of the 150,000 hostelries available through Expedia.

“This is especially significant because the Grand Case Beach Club is the only resort to win this award on St. Martin/St. Maarten,” said the resort’s General Manager Steve Wright. “While this is impressive, it’s important to note that we have earned this for three consecutive years.”

Wright added that “the investment in maintaining the resort in pristine condition and the dedication of the staff, many of whom have been here for more than 20 years, have resulted in long-time support by Expedia, the leading producer of on-line travel to St. Martin/St. Maarten, as well as to the rest of the Caribbean. Bookings from Expedia, as well as our other partners, have come from 49 states in the U.S. and from countries as far away as Asia, Europe and Africa.”
