As of January 26th, 2021, according to an announcement from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – U.S.A.), all passengers boarding an airplane departing to the United States of America must present a negative COVID-19 test, taken no later than 3 days before the departure.
We are pleased to announce that Hospital H+, which is a hospital authorized by the local and federal government will conduct the “antigen test” in our premises by a certified agent. The results will be delivered within the same day and we are expecting that it will have a cost of approximately US$30.00 per person, which should be paid by each guest or Club Member.
In the eventuality that the result comes out positive and our club member or guest cannot travel, we will be offering special rates and 50% discount on Room Service.

Los Cabos, February 8th, 2021. — Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos Resort Villas & Golf is proud to announce that it is among the first hotels in the world to become Sharecare Health Security VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide. The comprehensive facility verification helps ensure that guests and travel planners can book with confidence at properties that have appropriate health safety procedures in place.
This verification comes with an easily identifiable “seal of approval” – the Sharecare VERIFIED® with Forbes Travel Guide badge – based on a hotel’s compliance with expert-validated best practices that minimize the risk and impact of COVID-19 and potential future public health events.
“We understand people are thinking differently about travel nowadays, that is why we have a plan that outline specific guidance and steps to ensure associate hygiene and cleanliness and guest safety regarding COVID-19 are accounted for throughout the hotel; and this tool is great to ensure continued compliance for our resort” said Renato Mendonca, Resort Managing Director.
We have the firm commitment to intensify the safety and hygiene measures to reduce health risks and improve the vacation experience of our Members and guests during their staying and, at the same time, care about customers and of course our own staff. Therefore we have been working hard in the creation of the Safety and Hygiene protocols reinforced with an strategic partnership with a well known American company: Ecolab, the leader provider of water, hygiene and energy technologies and services to the food, energy, healthcare, industrial and hospitality markets to use their disinfectant products to prevent infections that have been approved and certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other international government environmental agencies, as applicable, for use against emerging viruses, bacteria, and other pathogens.
Such cleaning protocols we will implement are stuck to the recommendations set forth in the EPA Emerging Pathogen Policy regarding cleaning and sanitization. Public spaces, including high-touch surfaces, will be cleaned and disinfected more frequently. In our rooms, our main focus is to perform a deep cleaning between stays and reduce some services during the stay. We will make sure to install hand sanitizer stations throughout the areas with a high volume of traffic across the resort.
We are preparing a guidance for Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos Resort, Villas & Golf in order to enable a consistent implementation of the protocols and procedures in preparation for what is called the “New Normal”.
