Nestled in Puerto Vallarta is a haven of indulgence, crafted with love by a visionary matriarch and now, her family. Experience bespoke hospitality and tranquility like never before.
This is the latest update from the Governor of Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. We are grateful for both the Governor and the Mayor in their diligence to this ever-important matter. From the beginning, they have been mindful of what needs to be done in order to keep us all as safe as possible. We are hopeful this careful staging of reintroduction is successful.
PUERTO VALLARTA TO ENTER PHASE 0 OF COVID-19 ECONOMIC RECOVERY ON MAY 18
On May 14, 2020, Jalisco Governor Enrique Alfaro Ramírez announced that the state will enter Phase 0 of its COVID-19 recovery plan on Monday, May 18. Phase 0 will last at least 15 days and allow for the gradual return of some economic activities. It is the first step in preparing protocols for the next phases of the plan. During this time, social distancing and the use of face masks outside the home will remain mandatory. Stores, public roads, and businesses previously deemed non-essential that are linked to supply chains are allowed to operate at 50 percent of capacity. Select businesses that do not generate crowds and adhere to social distancing guidelines will also be permitted to open.
Beaches, public spaces, shopping malls, bars, and nightclubs will remain closed. Restaurants and cafes that commit to applying established sanitation and safety protocols may operate at 50 percent of their capacity.
Hotel services such as access to swimming pools, bars, gyms, beach clubs, and private beaches remain suspended at this time. Cleaning, sanitizing, and disease prevention measures are in place at Puerto Vallarta International Airport, the cruise port, on public transportation, in supermarkets, and in government offices which are providing limited services. Local authorities are working closely with the travel sector to progressively implement updated protocols to support the transition to the next phase of recovery.
“Tourism is a very important industry in our state, and we are looking forward to welcoming back international visitors when the time is right,” said German Ralis, Minister of Tourism of the State of Jalisco. “However, we remain very cautious with our plans for re-opening Jalisco, including popular tourism destinations like Puerto Vallarta, to ensure that the safest and cleanest conditions await guests upon their return.”
Throughout Phase 0, the government will continue to monitor the number of new cases identified and the ability to isolate and provide contact tracing for individuals who test positive, in order to determine when the state can proceed to the next phase of opening. More information will be available in the coming weeks.
