CINNAMINSON, NJ (November 16, 2009): Berwick Travel today announced their Pinnacle Award winning all-inclusive resorts. The awards are based on feedback from returning clients, agency site inspections of the resorts, and the luxury features and amenities that each offers to its guests.

Based on client surveys over a 12 month period, seven all-inclusive resorts were chosen to receive the prestigious Pinnacle Award. Four of the winning resorts are from Cancun & the Riviera Maya, Mexico; one resort from Punta Cana, Dominican Republic; and two resorts from Negril, Jamaica.
