Safety Foremost
Cleaning, Sanitizing, and always Caring
During these times of uncertainty with the progression of the unfortunate COVID-19 outbreak, we at Dandeli Tour Destination Resorts & Hotels assure you that your safety and comfort remain our highest and greatest priority during your safe travel to India.
Prevention measures during your safe travel include regular and thorough hand hygiene, social distancing, avoiding touching of eyes, nose, and mouth, and good respiratory hygiene. Especially in public areas, cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and surfaces can help reduce the risk of infection.
Hospitality establishments are no more susceptible to contagion than other public institutions visited by people who interact among themselves and with employees. Nevertheless, they are places where guests stay temporarily in close cohabitation and with a higher degree of interaction especially among guests and hotel associates.
These particular aspects—the stay for guests along with the services this entails (food and beverages, spa, housekeeping, transportation, recreational activities etc.) - and the interactions of guest-guest, guest-staff, and staff-staff require specific and detailed attention.
Every staff member at the hotel will strictly comply with the basic protective measures against COVID-19 recommended by WHO, such as hand hygiene, physical distancing, avoidance of touching eyes, nose and mouth, the practice of respiratory hygiene and to heed the advice to stay home and seek medical attention if they have symptoms consistent with the disease.
The Management Team at Dandeli Tour Destination
We look forward to welcoming all guests to our Resorts and Homestay with the same warmth and hospitality as always during your Covid vacation. While the COVID-19 outbreak is precipitously changing and fluid, we assure you that we are committed to keeping you informed and to caring for you as a valued guest during your safe travel.
We have therefore built upon the already high standards of housekeeping and hygiene at our Resorts &Homestays, where hospital-grade cleaning products and upgraded protocols are currently in use. We hope to provide you with assurance and peace of mind when you stay with us and create a focus on cleanliness that will be visible and can be experienced throughout your entire stay – in the guest rooms, Dining area, and other guest and public spaces.
Each of our hotels has a Safety Team with a Team Leader to ensure that all measures are being implemented and recorded. Detailed workshops for all associates are conducted on a regular basis.
