Meanwhile, Quintessence Hotel said the four-star distinction highlights ‘Team Q’s’ continued dedication to excellence in hospitality at the Relais and Chateaux luxury hotel branded resort.
“Quintessence represents the ultimate in refined and secluded luxury in Anguilla, an island consistently acknowledged as the Caribbean’s leading destination for stunning beaches, luxurious accommodations and epicurean dining,” it added.
