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.

Entry Forms

Passengers entering Panama are required to complete the electronic Customs Traveler Declaration Form. All passengers of legal age or responsible member of the family group (family is considered to be the husband, wife and children under the age of 18, including adopted children), must complete this form upon entry or departure from the Republic of Panama, without missing any of the boxes.


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.


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.

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.
