COVID-19 Policy

As always, our guests and team members' safety and security remain our highest priority within the Roberts Resorts. We are doing everything we can to ensure your safety and provide maximum protection as the situation around novel coronavirus (COVID-19) continues to evolve.

We take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene at our establishments. In response to the coronavirus, we are closely monitoring the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statements regarding the novel form of coronavirus (COVID-19) and following guidelines from (CDC) and other local and state governmental agencies.

  • Our management teams are receiving ongoing briefings and enhanced operating protocols and will share this information as it becomes available.
  • We have increased the frequency of cleaning our public areas (including lobbies, door handles, public bathrooms, etc.) and have continued the use of hospital-grade disinfectants.
  • All individuals over the age of 5 years old including team members, residents, and guests, are required to wear a face covering while in Resort facilities. This requirement also extends to outdoor settings where individuals are within 6 ft. of one another.
  • We continue to deliver ongoing training for team members and are implementing daily temperature checks prior to starting shifts.
  • Information regarding recommended handwashing procedures will be posted in restrooms, breakrooms, offices, and common areas to increase awareness of simple prevention methods.
  • EPA-registered disinfectant products have been distributed to all locations.
  • We continue to adjust team schedules and working arrangements, where necessary, to support social distancing practices.
  • We will continue to adjust the food and beverage service in accordance with current food safety recommendations.
  • We have increased the deployment of antibacterial sprays and hand sanitizers and will increase common area cleaning accordingly.

A Collective Effort

COVID-19 is a new disease and health officials are still learning about how it spreads and the severity of illness it causes.  According to the most recent information published by the CDC and the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), it’s critical we all do our part to limit the spread of COVID-19 by keeping the following in mind:

  • The virus is thought to spread mainly between people who are in close contact with one another (within about 6 feet).
  • Recent studies suggest COVID-19 may be spread by people who are not showing symptoms.
  • Maintaining good social distance (about 6 feet) is very important.
  • Cover your mouth and nose with a face covering when around others.
  • Do not gather in groups and avoid crowded places and mass gatherings.
  • If someone in your household has tested positive, keep the entire household at home as recommended by a medical provider.
  • Listen to and follow the directions of your state and local authorities.
  • Information from the ongoing pandemic suggests the virus is spreading more efficiently than influenza.
  • It may be possible for a person to get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it, and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes.  Therefore, the CDC recommends people practice frequent hand washing or use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

Check-in:

Upon arrival you and any other vehicle occupants’ temperatures will be taken prior to entering the property to ensure you’re not displaying any outward signs of the virus. In the event that you do, you will be admitted and checked-in but will be asked to quarantine in your unit for a 14 day period or 10 days since symptoms first appeared and 24 hours with no fever without fever reducing medication and other symptoms are improving.
