New health and safety measures: the Royal Care Standard
Grand Residences opens with new Royal Care Standard health and safety protocols in place for the protection of guests and employees. As part of this program, it has implemented World Health Organization, Mexican Department of Health and The Leading Hotels of the World® hygiene recommendations, elevating stringent cleaning and sanitization standards even further.
Measures include the use of masks by all staff and social distancing; increased daily cleaning frequency for busy areas and touch points throughout the resort and in employee areas back of the house; the use of EPA-approved sanitation products, electrostatic sprays and disinfecting mats; additional hygiene steps in the room cleaning regime; changes in restaurant setup, extra precautions for activities and the Kids Club and new protocols for staff.
Guests receive a complimentary hygiene kit including face masks, gloves, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes for them to use on the resort premises or on tours. The use of masks by guests is strongly recommended in busy public areas of the resort and is mandatory in closed spaces such as the Kids Club and Spa.

For more information on the measures that have been implemented at Grand Residences and Royal Resorts watch the Royal Care Standard video and visit royalcarestandard.com

Mexican Caribbean News
The Mexican Caribbean tourism industry is gradually reopening this month, continuing during the summer.
From hotels to parks and golf courses, travel agencies to restaurants, all will be operating with new hygiene and social distancing measures so that visitors can enjoy their vacation with peace of mind.

The use of face masks and visors by staff is mandatory and they undergo daily health checks.
