The AAA has honored two Carlsbad Chamber member resorts by including them in its prestigious Diamond Ratings.
The Park Hyatt Aviara Resort received the AAA Five Diamond award, while the Hilton Carlsbad Oceanfront Resort & Spa was chosen for the Four Diamond award. Each year AAA reviews more than 29,000 hotels including resorts, historic inns, B&Bs and more. Just 0.4 percent make the AAA Five Diamond list. Only 5.3 percent of the more than 29,000 hotels Approved by AAA make the Four Diamond list.
In addition, both of the Park Hyatt's fine dining restaurants, Vivace and Argyle Steakhouse, were honored with AAA Four Diamond ratings for 2014. This is Argyle Steakhouse's second year on the Four Diamond list.
Continuing a 78-year tradition, AAA's professionally trained inspectors use published guidelines to conduct unannounced hotel and restaurant evaluations, assigning Approved establishments a rating of One to Five AAA Diamonds.
Properties identified by AAA as potential candidates for the Five Diamond Rating undergo multiple evaluations and a final decision by a panel of experts.
