Kanika Covid-19 Protocols – Your Health is our Commitment

At Kanika Hotels and Resorts, our number one priority is the well-being, health and safety of our guests and employees. In order to secure that, we have set-up new operating procedures and guidelines, including a responsible plan regarding the exposure and prevention of the COVID-19 spread. These will be implemented across all of Kanika Hotels & Resorts in order to make our guests feel safe while staying or visiting our hotels.

To prevent COVID-19 spread, all of our employees and guests will be screened for body temperature and sign-up prior to entry. Sanitizing stations will also be available at hotel’s main entrance, back of house entrance, buffet restaurant entrance and other public areas (indoors and outdoors).

The designated points of screening for the policy are:

• Hotel entrance (for hotel guests, associates, colleagues)

Guests’ Rooms daily service & turn down service

• Social distance regulations at the kids’ clubs are 1 child per 3 square meters and children will keep 2 meters apart.
• The Kids’ club will be disinfected daily, toys that are not washable will be removed from the kids’ club, toys will be manually disinfected and cleaned with spray after every use.
• Crèche will remain closed for health and safety reasons.

Note: Kanika Hotels & Resorts follow the Government’s Health & Hygiene Protocols and Regulation guidelines,  which are subject to change at a moment’s notice. The Hotel’s management reserves the right to adjust daily operation at its own discretion aligning with the covid mandates. This includes opening/closing hours of outlets, rotation sequence of culinary schedule, and others always with the best intentions of the health and welfare of our guests and employees.

In the unlikely event, a guest tests positive for COVID-19, the Cyprus government will provide a dedicated quarantine hotel, as well as to the persons deemed as close contacts of persons who test positive for coronavirus.
