Las Palomas Beach & Golf Resort entrance and check in Protocol
Front desk
According to our new protocols, we are only allowing the access to one person per vehicle for check in process, who must be the reservation holder. In each lobby we have a thermographic camera which takes the temperature of each person at the entrance. The supervisor must be attentive of the computer linked to this camera and follow up any high temperature that may be detected.
We avoid the use of card keys and instead, we implemented an electronic system through smartphone (if the guest has one), with which the guest can access the condominium.
In case the guest is not wearing a face mask, the Receptionist will hand over a basic PPE kit and general recommendations.
We implemented the use of technology to facilitate the Check in process, (Pre Check In) using Las Palomas App, as well as promoting payment with card, bank transfer and any other electronic ContactLess payment method to reduce as much as we can the use of cash.
Payment terminal and scanners are on the desk in front of our guest, this way the receptionist does not have to touch the cards.
The pens used on the Check In process are sanitized after use.
The maximum of people allowed in each lobby is: Fase l, 16 people and Fase ll, 22 people.
At the guest arrival (Reservation holder)
- We indicate the hand disinfection process with hand sanitizer dispenser with alcohol at 70%, footwear disinfection process in the sanitizing mat with sodium hypochlorite at 0.5% for 10 seconds and 10 second in the absorbing mat, and temperature check point at thermographic camera.
- Confirmation number will be requested (in case of not having it, full name will be requested to search his reservation), ID and card, which will be the same for security deposit payment. The guest will place his ID on the scanner and the receptionist will save the information. The card will be placed at the payment terminal by the guest for the security deposit, Food and Beverages withholding (If necessary) or any other pending payment.
- Registry documents will be handover for reading and signature. This must be ready with tickets and parking pass.
- The bracelets are codified, printed, then the receptionist cut off the outside part of the folio of each bracelet and attach them to the registry form; finally, wristbands are handover to the guest. It is very important to indicate the guest the quantity of given bracelets and, in case of loss, payment amount will be preceded.
- We move on to codify the room key on the guest smartphone (App)
- Before finishing the check in process, the guest is asked if he wants daily cleaning service on his condominium or just the change of towels and amenities. We write down on the reservation notes according to the guest answer and call Housekeeping to notify, writing in the notes the name of the person who answers as reference. If the guest is not sure about the cleaning or if he changes his mind, we recommend notifying his decision to Customer Service (calling 0 from his room) for reprogramming.
