THE LAKES ENTERS HALL OF FAME AT TNQ TOURISM AWARDS
The Lakes Cairns Resort and Spa Wins Deluxe Accommodation Award Category Three Times to enter Hall of Fame
After proving its dominance in the Deluxe Accommodation category (2006 – 2008) three years in succession, The Lakes Cairns Resort and Spa was entered into the prestigious Hall of Fame at Saturday evening’s TNQ Tourism Awards.
General Manager for the resort, Craig Biber was in attendance to accept the award that he says, was a real coup for the team and caps an award-winning few years.
For three consecutive years, The Lakes Cairns Resort and Spa had won the Deluxe Accommodation category at TNQ’s Tourism Awards.
2008 really was a stellar year for The Lakes with its third consecutive Deluxe Accommodation award coming hot on the heels of bagging HMAA’s ‘Best 4-5 Star Resort’, ‘Training’ and ‘Operator of the Year’ and ‘Department Manager of the Year’ awards (Qld) as well as its signature restaurant, Lago, winning ‘Best Hotel / Resort Restaurant’ at the Restaurant and Caterer’s Awards. Prior to these awards, the resort scooped the pool at the inaugural Housekeeper of the Year awards in Cairns winning both categories including Housekeeper’s Trophy of Excellence.
“These awards are testament to the hard work and commitment of our entire team whose day-to-day mission is to provide guests with world-class accommodation and a memorable experience.
