Dear Guest,
Thank you for your interest in booking with us. You’ll be glad to know that our Hotel is a certified gold standard hotel within the safe corridor and as such, we’ve implemented extensive measures and had the proper training to ensure that risk to our guests and employees are mitigated. All our tours and sites have been designated within the Tourist Safe Corridor (as seen in chart below).
What to expect During your stay?
Upon picked up at the airport/ hotel, our driver/ guide has the duty to check your temperature with an infrared thermometer and log it. This will be done at the start of each tour/ transfer. Our vehicles will be equipped with added amenities for enhanced sanitation such as hand sanitizers, garbage bins, Tip container, protective barrier between driver and passengers, and in effort to keep the air in the vehicle as fresh as possible, we will have our windows semi-open and the AC on external air intake.
- Please note that failure to comply with these standards of procedures may result in a BZ$5,000 fine or 2 years jail time. Please cooperate with our staff to make their job a little easier and to ensure a smooth and safer experience for everyone involved.
- At our hotel, expect your temperatures to be taken every morning as you enter our lobby or before departing on a tour.
- Cleaning and refreshing of rooms will be done every other day instead of daily to reduce risk to both you and our staff while entering your room.
- Expect sanitation stations throughout our property and please be sure to use them in compliance with our standards of procedures.

- Once evacuated, our rooms and vehicles are thoroughly cleaned from floor to ceiling with appropriate cleaning disinfectants and following industry cleaning/ sanitizing procedures to ensure a safe environment for our next guests.
- All tours and transfers are conducted by expert and trained guides and drivers.
- Your kind cooperation is needed as we take your temperature upon pick up at airport or hotel and daily at our hotel’s front desk.
