Villa Group Resorts New Standards of Cleanliness:
There are new standards of cleanliness and sanitation that will be in place for your next vacation to Mexico. When hotel guests and vacation club member’s arrive they can expect the following:
- Suitcase sanitization with sanitizing products.
- Security seals to validate that no one entered the room after it was cleaned and disinfected.
- Temperature Readings: Thermometers will be used at all access points throughout the resort to read and monitor the temperatures of guests and staff in a non-invasive manner.
- In addition, all high-touch surfaces in common areas are subject to updated cleanliness and hygiene protocols. For example, surfaces and high traffic areas of the resort will be continuously treated with hospital-grade disinfectants and certified sanitation products. In addition, sanitizing stations have been placed at strategic points throughout the resorts including the front desk, restaurant entrances, and in all public areas. Also, a special team of sanitization specialists has been trained and equipped that is led by a Hygiene Manager. They will be in charge of ensuring that all staff members and guests adhere to the new health and sanitation protocols. In addition, every room will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized using hospital-grade disinfectants between each guest’s stay. All paper amenities, pens, and magazines will be removed from rooms until further notice, but are still available upon request. These new standards of cleanliness and hygiene protocols are designed to better protect our guests, our staff, and our community.
- Social distancing requirements help reduce the likelihood of transmission of viruses and other illnesses.
