As it has always been, the safety and wellbeing of our guests and team members remains our highest priority. With the impact of COVID-19, there have been heightened interests from consumers in hygiene and safety resulting in new norms.
In preparation to welcome travellers back to our resort, we have developed a program that redefines the clean and safety standards to ensure guests are able to enjoy an even cleaner and safer stay. Built upon our high standards of housekeeping and hygiene, this program will impact every step of the guest journey, from arrival to departure, which will include:
Temperature Checks – all guest, staff and visitors will be required to have their body temperature checked when entering the resort. Those with a temperature at or over 37.5°C will be subject to secondary screening. Those confirmed to have a temperature at or over 37.5°C will undergo further medical assessment and be directed to appropriate medical care.
Protective Equipment – it is mandatory for all guest, staff, and visitors to wear a face mask when at the resort’s public spaces. The resort will prepare a My Care personal care amenity kit for guests in all guest rooms, which will consist of a personal face mask and alcohol gel.

Advance training is required for those with frequent guest contact including housekeeping, food & beverage, public areas, resort operations and security. Staff are reminded to stay home if they do not feel well and are also instructed on proper procedures if they notice a co-worker or guest with flu-like symptoms.

Gloves will be provided to employees whose responsibilities require them. This includes front office, housekeeping and public area attendants who are in direct contact with guests.

This includes phones, computers and other communication devices, payment terminals, kitchen tools, engineering tools, cleaning equipment, keys, time clocks, and all other direct contact items used throughout the resort.
As we prepare to welcome guests back to our resort, we want our guests to feel confident that a safe and hygienic environment that aligns with expert protocols in working to defeat COVID-19 awaits. Thank you for your trust in our resort.
