ENHANCED CLEANING AND OPERTIONAL PROTOCOLS

Dear Valued Guests,

Los Establos Boutique Resort, Panama enjoys a longstanding and well-deserved reputation for meeting and exceeding industry health and safety standards.

On an ongoing basis, you can Book With Confidence, and your clients can Stay With Confidence, knowing we have implemented a wide variety of enhanced health and safety protocols; and we are using state of the art cleaning and disinfection equipment and products throughout the resort.

Panama – Entry Requirements & Updates

In preparation for your upcoming visit to Barbados, please CAREFULLY review the below Entry Requirements information.

As you know, the Covid-19 situation is ever-changing, so we recommend that you please check for Entry Requirement changes and updates frequently at:  https://pa.usembassy.gov/covid-19-information/#Entry%20and%20Exit%20Requirements

Please keep in mind the following important highlights:

  • All travelers must have a valid passport.  If you are not a U.S., U.K., or Canadian citizen, please check with your country’s consulate for Visa requirements.  U.S., U.K., and Canadian visitors do not need a Visa to travel to Barbados.
  • All travelers may need a facemask to wear on the plane, and in the Panama airports. 
  • Upon arrival in Panama, all arriving passengers maybe monitored for symptoms of Covid-19.  You may be asked to participate in a rapid Covid-19 test administered by airport medical personnel if you are displaying potential Covid-19 symptoms.
  • During your stay at the resort, you will notice a wide array of enhanced health and safety protocols.  Seating has been spaced out in restaurants and bars to provide proper social distancing.  Guest Rooms will be fully cleaned then sanitized.  Likewise, all common areas and facilities will be continuously cleaned and disinfected by the resort’s dedicated Clean Team. 

Medical Assistance

Please know that physicians and emergency medical personnel are available and on-call for the resort.  Should the need for medical assistance arise, guests need only contact the resort’s front desk, and a physician or appropriate emergency medical personnel will respond directly to the resort.  The cost of any medical bills or special transportation remain the guest’s responsibility.

Contactless Check-In & Check-Out

On arrival, whenever possible, guests will be shown directly to their accommodations where they can relax and complete a guest registration card at their leisure.  Guests will be assigned a time window to return to the front desk later in the evening to drop off their registration card, and swipe their credit card for a $300 pre-authorization to cover any incidental purchases charged to your room during your stay with us.  This pre-authorization will be released at check-out, less any room charges.

At check-out, guests will simply be invited to leave their room keys in their room, and depart the resort.  Any incidentals or room charges will be charged to their credit card accordingly. 

Enhanced State of the Art Cleaning & Disinfection

Accommodations.  Prior to arrival, all guest rooms will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized using state of the art equipment. 

Dining and Bars.  Kitchens, store rooms, dining venues and bars will also be thoroughly cleaned, followed by disinfection before and after each meal service (or in the case of bars, before and after each opening period).  Ongoing cleaning and disinfection of common touch points will continue while dining venues and bars are open. 

Common Areas, Facilities and Amenities.  We have established a “Clean Team,” responsible for continuously cleaning and disinfecting common areas and common touch points throughout the resort. 

Additional Information

This page is intended to provide a broad overview of the new and continuing protocols at the resort.   This will help ensure an enjoyable, safe and healthy atmosphere for all guests and team members.  There is, of course, much more going on behind the scenes to provide guests with wonderful vacation experiences—and the confidence of knowing we take the health and safety of our guests, visitors and team members very seriously.

While the risk of Covid-19 exposure can never be reduced to zero in a travel and tourism setting, we are making the necessary investments in training, equipment, and products to help ensure the best possible holidays for our valued guests.

We remain very grateful for your ongoing trust and support.  Please know that we highly value our excellent and longstanding relationships with you, our loyal guests.

This notice is subject to further revisions as the situation may dictate going forward.
