Another step on the way to recovery is taking place today with the reopening of hotels. It’s been so long since many of us set foot on questions about how they will work. This quick guide will help:

Are all hotels allowed to open?

Yes, some hotels are already open for essential services, but all hotels will be able to open from June 2nd.

Will the booking system be different?

No, you book your hotel stay as usual by phone or internet.

Do employees wear face masks and will there be hand sanitisers?

Yes, the health protection protocols related to face coverings will remain in place.

Do I have to wear face covering in the hotel?

Yes, unless you are sitting at a table for a drink or something to eat, or when you are using the pool.

Will the hotel restaurants be open?

The restaurants will only be open to residents. Outside terraces can be open to non-residents from June 7th. The service is permitted for a maximum of 6 people aged 13 and over per table. This limit of 6 does not apply to accompanying children under the age of 12. The total capacity at one table must not exceed 15.

Will the bar be open?

The bars will only be open to residents.

Will there be social distancing in the bar and restaurant?

Yes. It is set to a meter or two, which in turn determines if there is a time limit at your table.

Oh. What are the deadlines for the restaurant or bar?

In general, there are no time restrictions, except indoors, where social distancing is set at one meter. In this case, there is a time limit of 105 minutes. There is no time limit when the table is two meters apart.

Will there be smoking areas?

Yes, but they need to be separated from the rest of the guests, with social distancing and limits on the number of people who can use them based on capacity.

I’m used to a breakfast buffet. Is it organized differently?

You can still have a buffet but it will be different. When each food is prepackaged, such as Slices of bread, such as slices of bread, you can help yourself, but you may find an assisted buffet service where a member of a team serves you and you don’t have access to tong screens over the food. There may also be table service where you order your breakfast while you are seated at your table.

Can I use spa treatments or the gym and pool?

Yes. People will be used to booking spa treatments, but they may have to book the gym or pool visit now due to capacity constraints. Essentially all services will be available and equipment in the gyms will be distributed to maintain social distance.

Check with your hotel first, as a lot depends on the services each hotel offers. Pools are considered to be lower risk areas, but guests can be expected to stay in their own capsules.

If I check in earlier or want to store my luggage for a while after checking out, can I do that?

Yes. There will be processes such as B. Sanitisbefore and after handling the bag.

Will there be restrictions on who can use the lifts such as B. only one family unit at a time?

Lift protocols depend on the size of the lift and may vary from hotel to hotel. As a result, you may be asked to use the elevator as a family or a pod only.
