COVID-19 Belize Resort Precautions:
We are a Tourism Gold Standard Certified property, which means we are licensed by the Belize Tourism Board to operate as an all-inclusive resort certified by the government of Belize to host international guests in a post-COVID environment.
In line with the new Gold Standard guidelines and for the safety of our guests and staff, we have implemented a series of COVID-19 resort precautionary measures to ensure health and well-being while maintaining a warm and welcoming environment as follows:
- While masks in public spaces are no longer required, it’s up to the individual guests’ discretion and comfort level when choosing whether or not to wear a mask
- Vaccination and periodic health testing necessary for our staff
- Low contact check-in & out procedures
- Hand sanitizing stations across the property
- All meals will be served buffet-style by our kitchen staff to reduce potential contact contamination
- Enhanced room cleaning & disinfecting and increased sanitization of public spaces and high-touch surfaces
Enhanced Cleaning Protocols: All of our frontline employees in housekeeping and food & beverage service are taking rigorous COVID-19 training courses for detailed hygiene procedures and service schedules to ensure that we are taking all the necessary preventative measures. We also have a Tourism Gold Standard Manager on the property that will be here to assist with any questions, concerns, or health issues that may arise during your stay with us.
Belize Dive Haven Resort & Marina takes appropriate measures to clean, sanitize, and disinfect guest rooms, linens and shared public spaces frequently. Additionally, all rooms are left vacant for 72 hours following check out.
Employee Self Care: In addition to ensuring the health and well-being of our guests, we are also focused on the care of our employees. Belize Dive Haven Resort & Marina has reinforced employee sick day policies, requiring time off during all illnesses.
Guest Awareness: If you are sick with COVID-19, displaying symptoms, have elevated body temperature, have recently travelled to a banned country, or suspect you are infected with the virus that causes COVID-19, we ask you to follow the Ministry of Health guidelines and not travel to our resort for your own safety as well as the prevention of spreading the disease. See this page for more details on International Airport entry requirements.
