A few notes/observations:

The local health authorities are allowing the hotel to operate at 70% capacity and they fully booked up to that level. It doesn't feel too crowded anywhere but certainly not empty either.

Masks are required indoors and the policy is pretty rigorously enforced, particularly in the lobby and at breakfast.

Water shoes are a must if you want to swim on the beach. As you can see in my previous post, the Sargassum is a real problem and it's not fun to walk over it with bare feet.

Club Room is closed because of COVID. It's just open common space accessible to all guests now. It looks like they are still marketing "club level" rooms with "club access" on the website. This is a total waste of money right now.

COVID antigen testing is free for up to 4 guests per room and a very easy/organized process. Just be sure to sign up for a timeslot as soon as you check in. You get your results by email 20 minutes later. They also offer PCR tests for a fee.

Dinners at Fantino and the Club Grille were phenomenal. We were at the St Regis Maldives 6 weeks ago and both of these meals stand up to that property. Overall we are extremely impressed with the quality of the food and the prices are reasonable (especially in comparison to the Maldives).
