Yaamava' Keeps Its Title as the Only AAA Five-Diamond Casino Resort
HIGHLAND, Calif. – November 02, 2026 -- Yaamava' Resort & Casino at San Manuel has kept its AAA Five Diamond designation for a third straight year, and it remains the only casino resort in the United States to hold the rating.
Fewer than 1% of AAA-inspected hotels earn the rating
The designation goes to fewer than 1% of nearly 23,000 AAA-inspected hotels. To earn and keep it, properties go through unannounced evaluations by AAA inspectors, who assess every part of the guest experience, from accommodations and amenities to service.
Kenji Hall, General Manager of the resort, credited the Yuhaaviatam of San Manuel Nation's long stewardship of the enterprise and the work of team members over the past 40 years.
