COVID – 19

A respiratory virus, called Covid19 and its variants, has been identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness and cases have been identified in other countries including the Caribbean. Information can be found on the UK Government’s website. The health and safety of our guests is our number one priority.  Prior to entering the selected or designated resort, all guests will be administered a no-touch thermal scan to screen for fever. Anyone with any fever (≥38 C°/100.4 F°) will be assessed by a nurse or doctor. The medical professional may recommend that a COVID-19 test be administered. With a positive test result the guest remains isolated in their room until the release criteria of the specific jurisdiction is satisfied. If negative the guest will be free to enter and enjoy all of the resort.  All guests enter at their own risk and shall be advised as follows:  If you experience any symptoms of any illness while at the resort, please stay in your room and contact the Medical Centre.  Consultation charges will be waived.  If you develop symptoms after leaving the resort, see a doctor right away and advise the resort.  The resort also reserves the right to implement other COVID-19 protocols as the need arises.  All guests shall further acknowledge and agree that they are fully aware of the contagious nature and effects of Covid-19 and voluntarily assume that risk and responsibility and further agree that they will release, indemnify and hold harmless Unique Vacations UK Limited, Unique Caribbean Holidays Limited, and Sandals Resorts International Limited, and each of their respective parent companies, affiliates, subsidiaries insurers, directors, officers, employees, agents, successors, assigns, and representatives, against any claims and/or damages whatsoever, including legal fees relating to any infection, transmission, health condition influenced or otherwise impacted or complication by Covid-19.
