Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa Awarded Elite Gold Certification
Designation by Elite Meetings Important to Meeting Planners Worldwide

Sheraton Keauhou Bay Resort & Spa on the Kona coast of Hawaii's Big Island was recently awarded Elite Gold certification by Elite Meetings International, Inc.

The endorsement from the Elite Meetings Advisory Board, an independent panel of veteran meeting planners and hoteliers, is given only to properties offering exceptional experiences for groups. Following standards for group meetings and incentives properties, Elite Gold criteria was developed in response to demands from the more than 20,000 meeting professionals who visit EliteMeetings.com to research and book high-end hotels and resorts.

"Meeting planners know that Elite Gold certification cannot be purchased," said Sheraton Keauhou Bay Area Managing Director and General Manager Steve Lindburg. "This certification acknowledges years of hard work by our staff who welcome guests each and every day with extraordinary Aloha."

The resort is home to the Kona Coast’s largest meeting facility, the Keauhou Convention Center with more than 22,000 square feet indoor and out.
