“We are ready and waiting to welcome guests back to Andaz Mayakoba. While the world has responsibly stayed home, we have taken this time to reimagine the resort experience and prepare the property for arrivals in this new era of travel,” said General Manager Pascal Dupuis. “We have placed a strong emphasis on wellness, the outdoors and redefined the way guests experience immersive and inspired amenities in Andaz Mayakoba’s warm and welcoming environment. Immersed in the heart of nature, guests will find it easy to stay physically distant yet socially connected while rediscovering themselves and reconnecting with their loved ones.”
To ensure the care and comfort of their guests, Andaz Mayakoba has updated their safety and cleanliness procedures in line with Hyatt’s Global Care & Cleanliness Commitment. As part of this commitment, the resort will have a dedicated Hygiene & Wellbeing Leader who will be responsible for new operational guidance and protocols including staff certifications and trainings for hygiene and cleanliness, increased frequency of cleaning with hospital-grade disinfectants, implementation of enhanced food safety measures, prominently placed hand sanitizer stations throughout the resort, protective masks and equipment for resort staff and social distancing guidance in public areas, among other standards. Andaz Mayakoba will be making other property-specific changes as well, including moving check-in to the beach, implementing a bicycle rental station where bikes will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each use, digitized restaurant menus that will work by QR code so guests can access menus on their smartphones, digital curator calendars, room service menus and other resort offerings, among other initiatives.
