suitable/equally high standard
Just two ideas
In addition the town boasts a whole series of facilities of equally high standard (a whole series of suitable facilities)
Of course, there are phrases like "up to the mark" or "up to scratch" but I don't think their register fits here.

providing the ideal service
I rather like Neil's "round off" which could combine the expression and completar. It's a bit of a strange use of the expression, and I think needs to be translated preety flexibly.
My first thought was "which will fit the bill", but don't like it much, although this is, imo, the meaning.
Another tack would simply be to plink in an adjective before activities and hotels and restaurants. And that adjective might well simply be "fine", or "(suitably) high quality". Because this is what I think is being implied by the expression, that the potential client will expect excellent levels of "product" in all areas.

"high class", "exclusive", "five star"
I like the adjective "plinking" idea. ;)

full equipped
The phrase might not immediately strike you as appropriate at first sight, since it is normally seen in the context of car sales, but I think you caould work something snappy out of it... or something along these lines.
