Fully vaccinated guests with a valid negative pre-flight COVID-19 PCR test result

quarantine them if required. As soon as you arrive to our property, you have the

and the bright sun.
Non-vaccinated guests are required to self-quarantine in their room upon arrival
for 5 days, your second PCR Test can be scheduled after the fifth day in quarantine
period. Test results of the second PCR test will be communicated to the guest
approximately 24 - 48 hours after the samples arrive at the laboratory. The third
party who facilitates the second PCR Test will inform us of the end of your self-
quarantine period. Until we receive this confirmation, you should not leave your
room. This will ensure that all hotel departments have been informed of the end of
your self-quarantine period. Breaking quarantine is a criminal offence
punishable by law with a fine or imprisonment. For more details on all travel
