FAQ

Arrival

It is strongly suggested that every guest contacts his or her personal concierge to use recommended transportation from the airport.  Our vehicles and drivers follow CleanStay standards.  Upon arrival, luggage is sprayed with Lysol.  Every guest will have a temperature check prior to checking in.   Additionally, anytime a guest leaves the resort through Dos Mares tunnel, they will be required to have a temperature check.  After check-in, guests may be escorted to their rooms by a golf cart where social distancing protocols are observed for the safety of our guests and colleagues. Golf carts are properly sanitized following CleanStay guidelines.

Guest Room

 The room will have extra disinfection of the most frequently touched guests’ room areas – light switches, door handles, TV remotes, thermostats, and more.  In addition, housekeeping services will be based upon guest preference, recognizing that some guests may not want staff entering their room. Your Personal Concierge will arrange full housekeeping service and evening turndown service based on your desired time and specific needs.

Waldorf Astoria Spa

We recognize wellbeing is an integral part of our guests’ enjoyment during their stay. We have enhanced our Spa maintenance to keep you safe while enjoying our Spa. Extra care is being taken to provide a relaxing experience while ensuring a healthy environment.  Some of the protocols include spa therapists utilizing protective equipment and following hygiene standards during treatments.  Two hours between treatments to allow each room to be sanitized and sealed.  Bathrobes and sandals are to be delivered in individual sealed containers, digital menus will be available and prior reservations will be required to be made through the resort’s personal concierge team.

All of the restaurants at Waldorf Astoria Los Cabos Pedregal feature alfresco dining with cliffside El Farallon, an open-air signature restaurant, Don Manuel’s.  In addition, tables will be set six feet apart, sanitized between each use, and digital QR menus are available.  The resort will also offer an enhanced in-room dining experience for guests to enjoy dining on their private terraces with all Team Members utilizing protective equipment and following established hygiene practices. Our breakfast buffet will be discontinued and replaced with a plated covered option or a la carte menu.  Tablecloths will not be set on the tables due to cleaning and disinfecting table protocols.  Masks are to be worn in restaurants and can be removed when seated at your table.

We are encouraged by the announcement as it will continue to provide a frictionless travel experience for visitors to Los Cabos and we expect it will help revitalize the travel industry worldwide; however, we would like to remind all travelers that COVID-19 measures are still in place throughout Los Cabos and the use of face coverings is still required for indoor spaces.
