​Windsong's Duty of Care Practices -- Covid-19 Protocols
​The safety of our staff and guests is our highest priority at Windsong. As such, we have implemented a range of protocols to ensure that we are doing everything possible to provide a safe environment for all. From Virtual Touchless Check-in to the simple but vital placement of no-touch sanitizer dispenser stations throughout the resort, to the hiring of staff whose sole responsibility it is to repeatedly sanitize every touchable surface in our rooms and resort, to the installation of germicidal air purification UV lights and/or Hepa filters in our air conditioning units, Windsong is ready and excited to host you in paradise.  Please see below for our complete list of Essential Daily Covid-19 Protocols.

To be sure, "We're Better Together" and ask that guests please join us in these four very important practices during their stay:
​
​1) Social Distancing -- Look for our floor decals and stand 6' from employees and other guests. When waiting in line, Stand only with one other person in your group.  Ride the elevator only with members of your family/party. 
2) Hand Cleaning -- Wash your hands often with our "No Touch" hand sanitizers placed throughout the resort.
3) Cleaning of Hi-Touch Items -- Wipe phones, purses, room cards, door knobs, light switches, etc. with resort provided sanitizing wipes.
4) Respiratory Hygiene -- Avoid coughing on others. Wear a mask or face covering as mandated by the government.
