Stay Well

For more information on Marriott's Commitment to Cleanliness, please visit our corporate site.

The safety of our guests and associates is a top priority. As guidance regarding face coverings and vaccination verification varies by local jurisdiction and may change, guests should review public information websites for the most up-to-date guidance for your destination, as well as the hotel-specific sections below and US and Canada Travel Advisories | Marriott Bonvoy™ before traveling. Unless it is required by local law or order, fully vaccinated guests are no longer required to wear face coverings or social distance in indoor or outdoor areas of the hotel. We ask that all unvaccinated guests continue to wear face coverings and practice social distancing when they are in public spaces inside the hotel.

With the release of the vaccine earlier this year we are excited to see so many of our guests returning. Both leisure travel and meetings have come back at an unexpected record pace throughout the travel industry, particularly in the Southeast.

As resorts, hotels, cruise lines and most other businesses are reopening and with the recent increase in Covid-19 cases, we are experiencing shortages in both labor and supplies throughout the region and service industry.

As our Ladies and Gentlemen work to meet both service and supply demands you may notice the following:

 

• Certain items may not be available on the menu in our restaurants or at events due to lack of availability. We will work to substitute these items based on what is available.
• Your amenities such as soap, shampoo, and shower gel may consist of multiple brands.
• Pool & bath towels may be limited as we continue to find new suppliers.
• Housekeeping service may be limited to one "Tidy Only" service each day during your stay and currently daily turndown service is not being provided.
• Limited bike availability due to decreased supply in the market.
• Other businesses such as restaurants on the island may have limited availability; we highly recommend you book your reservations in advance.

Please know that our Ladies and Gentlemen and leadership team are committed to providing you with The Ritz-Carlton service you have come to expect. We appreciate your patience as we work through these unprecedented supply challenges.

In keeping with Marriott's Commitment to Clean, we have made several enhancements to our cleaning practices throughout our property and in guest rooms. These include:

Enhanced Public Space Cleaning: We have increased the frequency of cleaning and disinfection, particularly in areas with high traffic including restrooms, elevators, and escalators as well as provided more hand sanitizing stations.

Electrostatic Spraying: We're utilizing enhanced technologies, including electrostatic sprayers with hospital-grade disinfectants, to support our already rigorous cleanliness protocols.

Providing a safer environment for our guests and associates is a top priority. Consistent with the most recent CDC guidance, fully vaccinated guests are no longer required to wear face coverings or social distance in indoor or outdoor areas of the hotel, unless required by local law. We ask that unvaccinated guests continue to wear face coverings and practice social distancing when they are in public spaces inside the hotel.

Every guest room is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between each guest. We have enhanced our protocol around cleanliness such as using hospital grade disinfectants in our guestrooms. We will provide a Daily Tidy Service while you are away from your guestroom. A Daily Tidy Service includes: disinfect high-touch surfaces, remake your beds, trash removal and terry and amenities replenishment.

 

Many guests have requested that we limit entry into their guest rooms by opting out of  Daily Housekeeping during their stay, please let us know if this is your preference. 

 

Marriott BONVOY members who wish to forgo the Daily Tidy Service will be rewarded 5,000 Bonus Points per day to their account.  To qualify for the Bonus points, Daily Tidy Service must be bypassed for the duration of your stay.

 

As always, it is our pleasure to provide any additional amenities throughout your time with us to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible.
