Health & Safety
Our Sandyport Commitment to Cleanliness:
We have always taken our standards for hygiene and cleanliness very seriously.
In light of the recent Coronavirus pandemic we have further enhanced our protocols with the latest guidance on hygiene and cleaning. Our approved Clean and Pristine Health & Safety plan meets or exceeds the guidelines and recommendations from the CDC, WHO and the Bahamas Ministry of Health. We are paying attention to everything from handwashing hygiene to cleaning product specifications recommended by the EPA and procedures in guest rooms, suites, and common areas.
The health and safety of our guests and staff is our highest priority. During times of uncertainty, we hope to provide some assurance about our procedures and precautions, as well as the unique design elements that support social distancing at Sandyport Beach Resort.

Cleaning and disinfecting emphasizing high touch areas include, but not be limited to, front desk check-in counters, door handles, bathrooms, vending machines, ice machines, room keys and locks, stair handrails, pool and beach seating and surrounding areas, dining surfaces and all seating areas. Electrostatic sprayers are used on high touch areas to provide even more effective coverage of disinfectants.
