How Travel + Leisure Ranks the Best Caribbean Resorts

First, let’s break down how Travel + Leisure ranks the top Caribbean resorts—because it’s not about a random vote. Their process is thorough and considers various factors, from guest experiences and amenities to location and overall value. But here’s the kicker: their rankings mainly result from genuine traveler reviews and feedback from their team of travel experts.

In other words, Lovango didn’t simply land a spot on this prestigious list by chance. It earned its place with glowing guest reviews and a stellar reputation within the travel world. So, when Travel + Leisure names you one of the top Caribbean resorts, you can bet it’s well-deserved.

What Sets Lovango Apart from Other Caribbean Resorts

What makes Lovango shine brighter than other high-end Caribbean resorts? 

Let’s put it this way: it’s not only about luxe rooms or private beaches (although Lovango nails those, too). It’s about a unique experience you won’t find anywhere else.

The resort combines all the luxury comforts you want—private villas, gourmet dining, spa treatments—with a laid-back, barefoot-on-the-beach vibe that lets you unwind. 

Whether you’re sipping cocktails on your private deck or getting a massage overlooking the water, every moment at Lovango feels tailored just for you. And don’t just take our word for it—Lovango has also earned other prestigious accolades, cementing its place in the top tier of Caribbean resorts. 

We’ll dive into some of those awards in a future post, so stay tuned! In the meantime, here are some standout amenities that folks rave about!

The Beach Club on Lovango offers stunning panoramas of St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Croix from its sunny south side. 

It’s the perfect spot to unwind, with all-day access to umbrellas, towels, food and drink service, and snorkeling gear.
