Expedia Insiders’ Select
I wasn’t familiar with Expedia Insiders’ Select, a list of their best hotels and resorts worldwide based on the opinions of Expedia users, until receiving a recent email from The Reef Resort in the Cayman Islands, proudly pointing out that they rank as #1 in the Caribbean and #14 in the world. It’s an interesting list but, as you might expect, dominated by US hotels and resorts, and places that US citizens might visit. Here’s their top 20 worldwide, along with scores:
- Cozumel Palace All Inclusive 91.01
- Ponte Vedra Inn & Club 90.69
- Langham Place Hotel Mongkok, Hong Kong 90.55
- The Ritz-Carlton, Key Biscayne 90.39
- Las Brisas Acapulco 90.33
- The Davenport Hotel and Tower 89.81
- The Peninsula Beijing 89.50
- Secrets Capri Riviera Cancun All Inclusive 89.12
- Hyatt Regency Kyoto 89.08
- Sofitel New York 88.89
- Chateau On The Lake 88.64

The hyatt regency in kyoto at no 9 is a fabulous hotel. the rooms are stunning very japanese in style, large and the beds have beautiful kimono fabric headboards. the service is excellent and the hotel is located across from the national museum and right next door to one of the main temples, in addition the subway is at the bottom of the road. it is a tranquil haven in busy kyoto.
