This website has information on Hawaii hotels’ COVID-19 health & safety protocols.

Our commentary on the Waikiki Beach Marriott’s COVID-19 Health & Safety Protocols

The State of Hawaii issued an emergency proclamation on November 23, 2020 requiring hotels to publish their COVID-19 Health & Safety plans and submit it to the state’s Hawaii Tourism Authority (“HTA”). Below is our commentary on each hotel’s COVID-19 Health & Safety Plans they way they appear on the HTA website so that guests and hospitality workers have a better understanding of these plans.

Regarding the COVID-19 protocols for Waikiki Beach Marriott posted on the HTA site as of 1/5/21:

  • There is no mention of contact tracing. Guests and workers reading these protocols will be left with no information about whether the hotel will collect the information that would be needed to determine who a sick guest or worker was exposed to. They also will not know if the hotel will inform them if someone they were in contact with a person who tests positive for Covid-19.
  • The protocols have no discussion about whether guests or employees will be subject to any form of testing whatsoever, including temperature checks, upon or any time after arrival at the property. Guests and workers will not know from reading these protocols whether the hotel intends to make use of this basic safety measure.
  • The document contains no protocols about what the hotel or its workers or its guests should do in the event a guest or a worker shows COVID symptoms.
  • There is no discussion about how any of the protocols will be enforced. What will the hotel do if guests refuse to wear masks in public places? Whose job will it be to enforce these rules?

Check the HTA site to see if updated protocols are posted.

Hotel Inspections

Hotel workers have been preparing for the reopening of the tourism economy by conducting hotel inspections. See our inspection reports below:

    I live and work in Waikiki, I’m a local 5 member that is still on furlough, I walk by Marriott Waikiki beach often, and there is a store near the Starbucks that sells some kind of beauty products. They try to past out samples to people passing by, most of the type the women are masked, but there definitely a few male sample passing guys that don’t wear mask, they are passing out things so they are within 6ft(no mask) to hundreds of people walking by. I have seen many people try to avoid these harassing unmasked guys all the time. Today I witnessed a lady tell the guy to get away from her “you aren’t wearing a mask” he laughed like it was a joke. They are a business operating on a Marriott property and covid rules aren’t being enforced at all. I have even seen a Marriott manager walk past and look the other way, I’m sure he saw the unmasked harassers. Unfortunately I wasn’t close enough to see the name on his name tag. If hotel management won’t enforce vendors out in the open about simple mask policy what else are they missing.

      I work as a Housekeeper at the Waikiki Beach Marriott, I came back as a maid. We (myself and other co-workers) brought concerns to our management about the safety and awareness of working while there is a pandemic going on worldwide. Issues such as temperature check should be checked daily not only on the workers but any guests who are coming into property. I see smaller hotels doing it as part of their integrated system as a first check for anyone entering the hotel. Unfortunately our hotel does not. Another thing that we brought up is the way that our landings should not have any soiled linen at the end of the night, but currently that is still a problem we have encountered. The last thing I would like to cover is the standard in which the rooms need to be cleaned, even before the pandemic we argued that 30 minutes is not enough time to clean the rooms, and yet time and again we are forced to micro manage our time. What little respect and humane thing we have left as a housekeepers (maids) are taken for granted, sometimes the company’s give us small little things, but that’s not what is all about, its about caring for everyone who works at the hotel, because at the end of our shifts we are the ones making the money for the guest. We gladly take care of our guest but the question is “who is taking care of us?” with no help from the company im saddened by the fact that once upon a time they called us “the best employees” and yet this is what the best employees get.
