AIC Hotel Group, whose brands include Hard Rock All-Inclusive Hotels, UNICO 20º87º and Nobu Hotel Los Cabos, is successfully navigating its way through the pandemic.
“Given the circumstances, our brands are faring well overall,” said the company’s director of field sales, Carilis Felipe. “We have had huge success with our Save Now, Travel Later vouchers, and saw increases in the overall hotel occupancy for the next few months.”
Health and Safety Protocols
To help instill guest confidence, the company has put rigorous health and safety protocols in place at its properties in Mexico and the Dominican Republic. “Each hotel brand has implemented its own set of enhanced cleanliness protocols and safety guidelines based on internationally recognized industry standards and local government mandates,” Felipe said.
She added, “Some of these guidelines include increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing high-traffic areas and high contact surfaces, modifications to restaurant layouts to allow appropriate social distancing, increased signage reminding guests and staff to maintain their distance and wash their hands, PPE requirements for all staff at all times, and more.”
Private Experiences
AIC’s properties also provide guests with a generous number of programs that enable them to adhere to social distancing practices while on vacation.
As an example, Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya offers a menu of private experiences, which include mixology classes, fitness classes, guitar workshops, personalized DJ sessions, separate treasure hunts for kids and adults, the basics of Latin dance and more.
NOBU Hotel Los Cabos
At Nobu Hotel Los Cabos, guests are able to tailor their stays to include such elements as private beach-side dinners, including farm-to-table and Italian tastings menus, an Italian family-style menu, a nine-course barbeque menu and an eight-course Nobu-style menu.
The property also features private bonfire, fitness and mixology experiences.
For its part, UNICO 20º87º in Riviera Maya features 448 guestrooms and suites spread across eight five-story buildings. Such daily activities as mescal tastings are designed to reflect the local culture.
