Safety first.

We’ve all heard that at least a dozen times in our lives. In terms of travel and leisure, that saying was usually applied to activities. Today, “safety first” should also be considered when choosing travel accommodations. Given the current situation, a hotel that prioritizes the health and safety of guests should definitely be at the top of your list of places to stay in Boracay. Fortunately, checking the health and safety protocols that a hotel has in place is relatively easy. Simply log in to a hotel’s website and social media accounts and you should be able to see what measures they’ve implemented. Most hotels will have a standard “No Mask, No Entry” policy, as well as disinfection stations in common areas. However, you want to go with a hotel that goes beyond the basics. With that in mind, here are a few other measures you should look out for:

Hotel Staff Wears Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Although PPEs were designed for the protection of the wearer in mind, the equipment also helps keep other people safe by preventing the spread of airborne droplets. Given this, try looking for a hotel that provides all its employees with the proper PPEs and not just to employees deployed in high-traffic, high-visibility areas.

Frequent Sanitation of High-Touch Surfaces and Rooms

Many hotels in Boracay have enforced more meticulous cleaning and sanitation measures in an effort to curb the spread of infections. Take the time to look for just how frequently your hotel cleans both public areas and guest rooms. A good Station 2 Boracay hotel should be transparent with cleaning schedules and sanitation protocols, such as twice-a-day cleaning and disinfection of tables, countertops, remote controls, and other high-touch areas.

Strict Implementation of Social Distancing

Social distancing is still an effective way to curb the spread of pathogens. Most hotels will have floor stickers and signs to help enforce social distancing inside the property. However, hotels that are serious about the safety of their guests will have several staff assigned in high-traffic areas to ensure social distancing is followed. This measure is very important in enclosed places such as elevators.

Cashless Payment Methods

It’s no secret that coins and paper bills can carry a wide range of pathogens for extended periods of time. With that in mind, try to look for a hotel that has cashless payment methods in place. Hotels get bonus points if they also offer cashless transactions upon check-out and/or pre-payment plans guests can take advantage of before they arrive at the hotel.
