My recent trip to Cancun experience

Second, I wanted to share my experience on a recent business trip to Cancun, MX. (Somebody has to do it!) Our hotel partners have been sharing their safety procedures with us over the past few months, but I had yet to experience their hospitality firsthand. In doing my research, I found that new cases were far less in the entire state of Quintana Roo than my county here in Texas, and the majority were not in the tourist areas.
The first precaution put in place is a hotel occupancy limit of 60% throughout all of Mexico although the majority I visited were at 30 - 40% occupancy. I stayed at 4 different properties and met with 8 different resorts. I was impressed with the precautions put in place:
Required temperature check and sanitization of hands before being allowed on the property
Additional temperature check when going into restaurants and sanitization of hands
Hand sanitizer is everywhere in the resort, at elevators, doors, etc
All staff wore masks at all times inside and out
Guests were required to wear masks indoors in most places
In summary, I felt safer in Cancun than I did in Texas, especially since I was outdoors most of the time. While ID90 Travel can not make guarantees about your health and safety while traveling, we can pass on our knowledge and expertise of the best places to take a trip during this time!
