Hotel Cleanliness Initiatives

stefany75

Cleanliness and privacy have always been luxuries, but they are certainly at the forefront for travelers now. As they reopen, hotels and resorts are going the extra mile to help guests feel comfortable and welcomed as the COVID-19 era enters a new phase. Your vacation is a precious investment of time and money, and the last thing you want is more worry.

To ease guests’ minds, Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort in Aruba is cleaning with environmentally safe hospital grade hydrogen peroxide, ionizer treatment, ultraviolet air and surface sanitizer and installing HEPA air cleaners. After cleaning, rooms are sealed, with a sticker letting arriving guests know that no one has been inside since. Electrostatic guns will apply sanitizer in all public areas, including at the beach.

Chable Maroma and Chable Yucatan on Mexican’s Yucatan Peninsula have added ozone generators for deep sanitation of guest rooms. Sheets, towels and linens are disinfected using steam-based and biodegradable processes, and hygiene stations featuring hand sanitizer are spread throughout the resorts. The sprawling nature of the resorts provides natural social distancing, as freestanding casitas and villas are separated by at least 30 feet from the next.

Marriott’s global cleanliness council continues to introduce innovations at the chain’s more than 7,300 hotels worldwide, including the Ritz-Carlton brand. Electrostatic sprayers and the highest classification of disinfectants are used to clean guest rooms. Hand sanitizing stations are set up throughout hotels and resort grounds. Disinfectant wipes are placed in each room as an amenity. At more than 3,000 Marriott properties, contactless check-in, key card access and room service ordering are available via smartphone. Single-use plastic cups are made from plant material in Ritz-Carlton properties.

In collaboration with Johns Hopkins Medicine International, Four Seasons hotels and resorts are implementing the Lead With Care program that includes a hygiene officer at each property, blacklight inspection after cleaning and hourly sanitizing of common areas. Room amenities include face masks, sanitizer spray and wipes. The Four Seasons app and chat feature allow contactless communication with staff. Contactless in-room dining delivery comes in sustainable, single-use packaging.

Restaurants and pool areas will offer limited seating to ensure social distancing, so planning ahead is crucial. Things sure are different, but there are still wonderful places in this world worth exploring. What hasn’t changed is that our partners will go the extra mile to ensure you can enjoy your getaway safely and have a home away from home.
