SANTO DOMINGO — In light of the ongoing global pandemic, Be Live Hotels has rolled out its Be Safe health & hygiene program across its collection of 31 four- and five-star hotels around the world.
The protocols, which are in strict compliance with the World Health Organization (WHO), the CDC and local authorities in the countries in which Be Live operates, will be implemented at all Be Live Resorts across the Caribbean, Dominican Republic, Colombia, Spain, Portugal and Morocco.
“The Be Safe program goes above and beyond the highest standards of quality control to ensure the health and safety of our guests and team members and provide a seamless experience and peace of mind for future visitors throughout their stay at all our properties,” said Jeffrey J. Vandenberghe, North America Commercial Director.
The program’s safety protocols are as follows:
SANITATION STANDARDS
- Renewed and reinforced cleaning and disinfection process in each hotel area, including rooms, common areas, staff work areas, elements that may come from outside (such as luggage), with special emphasis on contact surfaces and reinforced security measures, following specific protocols of cleaning and disinfection for each area of the hotel.
- Sanitized room for each new guest, with specific textile cleaning protocol in laundries, as well as interval of no allocation of the room between different arrivals.
