Jaco, Costa Rica (PRWEB) August 20, 2014 -- Vista Guapa Surf Camp today announced that it received a TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence award for the 2014 season. The accolade, which honors hospitality excellence, is given only to establishments that consistently achieve outstanding traveler reviews on TripAdvisor and is extended to qualifying businesses worldwide. Establishments awarded the Certificate of Excellence are located all over the world and represent the upper echelon of businesses listed on the website.

There really is no greater compliment than being recognized by one's customers, and it’s especially sweet when it's through the world’s largest travel site.

When selecting Certificate of Excellence winners, TripAdvisor uses a proprietary algorithm to determine the honorees that takes into account reviews ratings. Businesses must maintain an overall TripAdvisor bubble rating of at least four out of five, volume and recency of reviews. Additional criteria include a business' tenure and popularity ranking on the site.

"It’s a great honor to receive the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence for the second year in a row. We are always grateful to our guests who are inspired enough to take the time out to contribute such heartfelt reviews on TripAdvisor," said Ashley Johnson, co-owner of Vista Guapa Surf Camp. "There really is no greater compliment than being recognized by one's customers, and it’s especially sweet when it's through the world’s largest travel site.”

"TripAdvisor is pleased to honor exceptional hospitality businesses for consistent excellence," said Marc Charron, President of TripAdvisor for Business. "The Certificate of Excellence award gives top performing establishments around the world the recognition they deserve based on feedback from those who matter most – their customers. From Australia to Zimbabwe, we want to applaud exceptional hospitality businesses for offering TripAdvisor travelers a great customer experience."
