Our associates have been trained on how to respond swiftly and report any suspected cases of COVID- 19 on property. We will be ready to provide support to our guests.

All associates are instructed to notify their respective Manager should they detect any person displaying a cough, shortness of breath or other known symptoms of COVID-19 or a temperature above 99°F / 37°C either during their stay or upon entering the property.
In case of a member or guest, the General Manager or Deputy will contact the member or guest, provide the appropriate PPE, and directs the member or guest to the hotel ́s doctor office for further evaluation.
The hotel doctor adheres to local / state / federal regulations of the health authorities. The hotel and the member or guest will carry out the specific measures and recommendations that the doctor determines after the evaluation.
Associates will receive mandatory training to perform proper hand washing or use sanitizer when a sink is not available. Handwashing will be done routinely at least every 60 minutes (for 20 seconds), after a specific task is completed or after every break before returning to their work area, using the restroom, sneezing, blowing the nose, cleaning, sweeping, mopping, smoking, eating or drinking. For all Food & Beverage associates hand washing is mandatory at least every 30 minutes and whenever necessary.
This practice will be overseen by each supervisor and manager. Proper procedures are posted in all work areas in the heart-of-the-house and reinforced at daily briefings.
