These new initiatives on hotel cleaning practice, social interactions, and workplace protocol will ensure transparency throughout our guest’s journey. Our approach with enhanced protocols, policies, procedures and training are designed to provide peace of mind to both our guests and staff members.

Guest Arrival

When arriving at the Resort, our guests will be dropped off at the front entrance door. If the guest has their own transportation, the security at the front entrance gate will advise the guests where to park. If there is a line (queue) on the front drive, we recommend each guest practice social distancing and remain at least 2 meters away from other groups or people not traveling with them.
If the guest is in need of assistance with luggage, the bellman will handle the request with gloves and other appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Each bell cart will be sanitized between guests.
Entry to the Resort will be clearly marked for appropriate social distancing, and where possible, encourage a one-way guest flow.
Hand sanitizers are stationed for guest usage throughout the resort.
