In recognition of its commitment to guest satisfaction and hospitality excellence, the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort recently earned a Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award.

This marks the third year in a row that the property has received this coveted industry designation, according to a press release.

Formerly Tripadvisor’s Certificate of Excellence, the Travelers’ Choice Award celebrates travelers’ favorite destinations, hotels, restaurants and things to do around the world based on reviews collected over a 12-month period.

Winners are among the top 10% of listings on Tripadvisor and are determined by the quantity and quality of ratings posted.

“Because this is an award by the people, for the people, it means just that much more to all of us here at the We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort,” said acting general manager Jeffrey Duke. “We take pride in delivering exceptional guest experiences, whether it’s an exhilarating evening at our state-of-the-art casino, a relaxing stay in one of our luxurious guestrooms, or a memorable meal in one of our innovative dining outlets.

“Having that passion and attention to detail recognized consistently by such an industry-leading platform further reinforces our team members’ commitment to excellence.”

According to Tripadvisor, to be eligible for an award, a property, business, destination or point of interest must have been listed on Tripadvisor for at least 12 months, receive a threshold number of reviews within the evaluation period of that award and maintain or exceed a minimum bubble rating on Tripadvisor.

The world’s largest travel guidance platform available in 43 markets and 22 languages, Tripadvisor features more than one billion reviews and opinions of nearly eight million businesses to help people become better travelers by discovering where to stay, what to do and where to eat based on the recommendations of those who have been there before.

Owned and operated by the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, the 166,341-square-foot We-Ko-Pa Casino Resort includes state-of-the-art gaming, a variety of specialty fine and casual dining restaurants and live entertainment.

The attached AAA Four Diamond hotel offers 246 guestrooms and suites, 25,000 square feet of meeting space, a boutique spa and two resort-style outdoor pools with cabanas.

Located next to Fountain Hills in the tranquil Sonoran Desert on the site of the former Fort McDowell Casino, the casino resort’s proximity to the two highly acclaimed courses at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club and numerous outdoor activities at Fort McDowell Adventures make it the ideal destination for a vacation, business function or special event.
