Galloway, New Jersey, October 4, 2006… Seaview Resort & Spa, A Marriott Resort, one of the premier resort destinations in the Northeast, today announced that the property was recognized by T+L Golf Magazine in the publication’s Annual "World’s Best Golf Resorts" issue. Seaview was honored in two distinct categories, as the property was acknowledged as the #2 "Most Underrated Resort" and the #3 "Best Spa/Gym" in the Northeast & Mid Atlantic Region.
The World’s Best survey, developed by the editorial staff at T+L Golf, appeared online at www.tlgolf.com from April 18th – June 9th. Readers had the opportunity to rate resorts in 9 different categories and 13 regions from all over the world. The winners of these highly-respected awards can be found in the September print issue of Travel + Leisure Golf and online at www.tlgolf.com/worldsbest.
"We are extremely honored to receive this recognition from one of the premier magazines in the golf industry," said Tim Cahill, Director of Marketing, Seaview Resort & Spa. "Receiving this honor directly from the readers is an enormous source of pride for our staff and reinforces our commitment to providing every guest with a memorable, first class experience while in our care."
The regional categories in Travel & Leisure Golf’s online survey were divided into two groups based on the type of golf facility most commonly found in the region, specifically golf resorts or golf courses with separate hotels. Responses were tabulated by American Express Publishing. Rankings were based on scores, which were a scaled weighted average of votes received both within a region and across the group. Ties among the top three properties in any category were broken by a staff vote.
