To decide which places make the list, Forbes undergoes rigorous inspections to determine who should be included.
"We visit every hotel, restaurant, and spa that we Star Rate, paying our own way and staying anonymously as a typical guest," they shared.
"No one can buy a rating under any circumstance. Every Star Rating is earned through our objective, independent process."
