The results are in for ConventionSouth’ s 2024 Fan Favorite Radiant Resorts Contest, and these 15 fabulous Southern properties took top spots. The ConventionSouth team compiled a ballot of 68 visually stunning resorts with abundant amenities and asked ConventionSouth readers and fans to vote for their top picks. The topic gained enormous attention, resulting in nearly 2,500 votes.
“These resorts represent the spirit of the South, providing opportunities to bring groups together with spectacular scenery, a warm climate, and great amenities,” said ConventionSouth’s associate publisher Tiffany Burtnett. “Our fan favorites are known for delivering a top-tier experience. Many have continued to upgrade, renovate, and reimagine their accommodations, meeting facilities, and F&B offerings. These Southern resorts continually go above and beyond to offer unique and memorable experiences for groups of all types and sizes.”
