Our commentary on Waikoloa Beach Marriott COVID-19 Health & Safety Protocols

Regarding the COVID-19 protocols for Waikoloa Beach Marriott Resort posted on the Hawaii Tourism Authority website as of 1/27/2021:

The protocols state: “In keeping with Marriott’s Commitment to Clean, we have made several enhancements to our cleaning practices throughout our property and in guest rooms.” In the same document, the protocols announce that the hotel is stopping its practice of cleaning occupied guest rooms daily, except when guests choose otherwise.
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 tests positive for COVID-19.
The protocols have no discussion about whether the hotel will require guests or employees to undergo any form of testing, including temperature checks by the hotel. Guests and workers will not know from reading these protocols whether the hotel intends to make use of these basic safety measures.
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-19 symptoms at the property.
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.
