TORONTO — Blue Diamond Resorts has announced new reopening dates for its properties in Mexico and the Caribbean.

Destinations include the D.R., Antigua, Jamaica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Mexico and Costa Rica.

“As we prepare to welcome back our valued guests for an exceptional vacation in paradise, we are committed to providing a safe experience with increased safety protocols and cleaning measures,” said Jordi Pelfort, President of Hotels and Resort at Sunwing Travel Group.

Pelfort adds: “With many travel plans on hold and months of staying at home, we want to ensure that every guest enjoys a well-deserved vacation in paradise and trusts that their well-being is safe in our hands.”

Some 17 resorts are reopening, in addition to the six properties that have already reopened. All have extensive health and safety measures in place following guidance from the CDC and WHO, as well as the local and national ministries of health.

Blue Diamond’s Safety-Assured Vacations program safeguards both guests and staff members with nine pillars of protection including new physical distancing guidelines, increased staff training, a 360˚ Clean Approach for all common areas and Diamond Clean Guest Rooms, where each touchpoint is thoroughly disinfected.
