HOTEL ALCATRUZ INTERNAL PROTOCOL – COVID-19 SAFETY MEASURES

THE SAFETY AND WELL-BEING OF OUR GUESTS ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES! WE ARE READY TO WELCOME YOU!

Following the gradual lifting of restrictions imposed by the Portuguese Government, Hotel Alcatruz will reopen its doors to the public on 15 June, with intensive enforcement of several hygiene and safety measures, in accordance with the provisions of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) and Turismo de Portugal.

Hotel Alcatruz was awarded the “Clean & Safe” Quality Seal by Turismo de Portugal, which ensures that we comply with all DGS recommendations regarding the implementation of COVID-19 preventive measures.

“CLEAN & SAFE” MEASURES

We have implemented all the necessary measures for the “Clean & Safe” seal certification, issued by Turismo de Portugal. These include:

. Intensive team training on internal protocols and on preventing the spread of COVID-19;

. Daily self-monitoring by our employees;

. Strict compliance with all DGS standards and recommendations;

. Use of personal protective equipment duly approved by the DGS;

. Provision of an alcohol-based sanitising solution, with an alcohol content of 70 %, for clients only;

. Daily surface disinfection with DGS-approved cleaning material;

. Strengthening of the team dedicated to disinfecting and cleaning surfaces;

. Strengthening of equipment cleaning, using single-use (disposable) utensils, with preference for biodegradable ones as that is our Hotel’s policy;

. Compliance with accommodation cleaning protocols in accordance with DGS recommendations;

. Mandatory use of mask to move within the Hotel’s public spaces;

. Mandatory use of the shoe disinfecting mat at the Hotel’s entrance.

CLEANING

All cleaning and maintenance services at Hotel Alcatruz are carried out using products approved by the Directorate-General for Health.

The DGS recommends that no daily cleaning of the rooms be carried out. However, if the client so wishes, they can request it using the registration sheet. The room will have to be unoccupied from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. so that the staff can uphold the recommended cleaning times.

If the client so requests, the room will be cleaned and the linen and towels will be changed in stays with a minimum of six days.

For the client's protection, the cleaning should be scheduled on a day and time to be agreed upon, and the client should leave the windows/shutters open that day.
