Welcoming Guests Back with Our Commitment to Health & Sanitation

Yes. In accordance with the Duval County Executive Order, all guests and team members are required to wear masks throughout the property including lobby areas, restaurants, pool decks, beach, and outdoor common areas. Guests may remove masks while actively engaging in eating or drinking or when swimming in the pool or the ocean. Our team will request that guests place a mask on whenever necessary and service may not be rendered to anyone who does not comply. Masks are not required to be worn in the guestrooms.

Guests are encouraged to enjoy the outdoor spaces our hotel is known for, whether by the ocean, poolside or other scenic areas. We have created additional outdoor seating in restaurant venues; while indoor spaces and common areas have been reconfigured, floor clings and social distancing markers have been placed throughout the hotel to support distancing with ease.

Dining area seating has been reduced and restaurant tables are separated by six feet. Hand sanitizer stations are available for all team members and guests throughout the property. Pool lounge chairs are limited and separated by six feet. The hotel is requiring a minimum of six feet between any groups of people in all public areas. Plexiglass partitions are installed at the front desk and ordering areas for dining venues, for guest and team member safety.

As we continue to open areas of our hotel, we will post them here so you may best prepare for your visit.

Cleanliness is top of mind for the team at our hotel. All venues are continuously cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing using COVID-19 approved products. Every surface in all common areas are disinfected after each use. Kitchens receive a daily deep cleaning. Single-use menus and digital menus are all available in our restaurants. Table separation is increased to six feet, and our hosts are managing the number of guests arriving in order to seat according to social distancing.

Providing a clean, disinfected and sanitized room to every guest, every time remains paramount to our ongoing room service. To ensure we are keeping every room sterile and safe for every arrival, we have implemented the following changes:

• Increased sanitation efforts include the use of disinfectant products approved by EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) specifically for use against emerging viral pathogens for ongoing cleaning of guest rooms. Increased attention is being paid in particular regard to high-touch areas throughout the hotel including our guest rooms.
• Due to local government mandates, stayover room services are temporarily suspended. Towels / linen / shower amenities will be placed at your guestroom door upon request.
• Glassware in rooms is now replaced with disposable cups.
• Other small changes may be implemented to minimize high-touch items from display within guestrooms.

All front desk areas are frequently sanitized. Partitions are installed for the well-being of guests and team members. Masks are required when checking-in and walking through the lobby.

Hand sanitizing stations are installed throughout the hotel for the added health and safety of all guests and team members.

Our hotel has a designated Health & Sanitation Lead, responsible for implementing and enforcing standards across all latitudes.
