Residents of Canada are required to quarantine for a minimum of 10 days after receiving a positive result. Couples will provide complimentary accommodation for your entire quarantine period.

covid-related policies FAQ

WILL WE BE REQUIRED TO QUARANTINE ON ARRIVAL?

No, you are not required to quarantine upon arrival.


WHAT ARE SOME OF THE NEW SAFETY PROTOCOLS AT THE RESORTS?

Personal protective equipment is provided for our staff members. Masks are required only when social distancing is not possible. Social distancing is required among guests not traveling together. You’ll notice more frequent cleaning and sanitization efforts throughout the resort. Beyond this, we’ve made very few adjustments to the services, activities, and inclusions you love! For example, you can still enjoy a la carte dining in all of our restaurants.


WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T TRAVEL DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, SUCH AS WORK REQUIREMENTS, TESTING POSITIVE, FAMILY ILLNESS, OR ANY OTHER COVID-RELATED REASON?

You are entitled to a full refund if you cancel fifteen days prior to your arrival. Within the fourteen-day period, we have been 100% lenient and flexible in order to accommodate guests’ unforeseen travel interruptions or prohibitive instances.

We have refunded guests for the period when the resorts were closed, as well as guests who have tested positive prior to arrival since we reopened.

In light of recent updates to testing requirements, Couples will be offering 24-hour cancellation and a refund for the hotel portion for those who test positive from now until further notice.

Rest assured that if a refund is not possible, we will still remain very flexible and will offer credit for future travel. Guests will be responsible for air separately.
