AAA Auto Club South recently awarded the Hilton Marco Island Beach Resort with a 2010 Four Diamond Award designation.

“Four and Five Diamond lodgings and restaurants represent the best the hospitality industry has to offer,” said David Pojero, AAA area executive, Southwest Florida.

“These properties consistently deliver a high level of personal comfort and attention to every guest. To achieve and maintain these ratings is a commendable accomplishment, and we are honored to present the Hilton Marco Island Beach Resort with a Four Diamond Award designation for 2010.”
