You will be asked to briefly lower it to verify your identity. Travellers who refuse to wear a mask may be fined and denied boarding. To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent. You are now allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your carry-on bag. You'll have to remove it for X-ray scanning. To minimize handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on instead of the bins. Separate any food you have for X-ray scanning.

Exquisite small boutique hotel. Outstanding service, beautiful rooms and grounds, wonderful food. The beach itself was also perfect. It’s located south of the noisy nightlife section of SoTu and across the street from Nu - an incredible Michelin restaurant. Highly recommend!

Overall experience was good but not great. Property is clean and well maintained, but a solid hour from the airport. Room was clean and well maintained but could use a facelift. Staff was nice, but not the best I’ve experienced. Food in restaurants was good for an all inclusive, not the best ever, but definitely better than most I’ve been to. Pool was good, but beach was pretty small. Unfortunately, the seaweed was the worst Ive ever seen in my life, to the point where even their cleanup efforts couldn’t make a dent. You could smell it all the way from the front of the resort. It made the experience not very enjoyable because beach was unusable, couldn’t get in the water, which made the pool areas quite overcrowded. All in all, it was a great resort, very nice views, good for the price, but probably won’t return.
