A total of 246 areas were inspected covering the resort's facilities, customer service, accessibility and sustainable environmental practices. Out of a maximum possible score of 289, Cap Est earned 276 points, one more than the minimum required to be awarded five-star status.
The fifth star designation marks the latest in a long line of accolades and awards for the exclusive resort. In February 2004, the property was named one of the 80 best new hotels in the world by Condé Nast Traveler.
