Front Office Protocols
The Front Office is one our most high traffic areas in the resort. It covers the resort entrance, front desk, concierge, bell service, and other counters and areas within the lobby. Special procedures are in place in these areas to ensure the health and safety of all guests and employees that come through our resort.

PHYSICAL DISTANCING PRACTICES
Physical distancing is practiced throughout our resorts. Guests are requested to maintain 6ft (2m) apart from other guests not in their same travel party. Elevator capacity is also reduced to single family use or not more than four people at one time. To aid with physical distancing practices all guest transportation vehicles have a clear barrier for the driver's seat. The front passenger seat is not available for guest use. Valet service has also been suspended until further notice. We continue to make modifications in the way we provide services to ensure physical distancing guidelines are in place.

All counters, bell carts, office and storage doors, telephones, and workstations are regularly cleaned. All high touch point transactions have been minimized. Guest folios will be provided electronically at time of check out unless there is a specific request for a hard copy. Credit card payment is encouraged. Cash trays and pens are sanitized after each use. Guest room keys and pool towel cards are cleaned and disinfected upon return. Hand sanitizing stations are placed throughout our resorts for guests use.
