"All around great hotel. One interesting thing is in the apartment suites they don’t have the AC in the bedroom only in the living room When it gets hot that AC in the bedroom comes in pretty handy"

What are some of the general tips for travellers to Santa Maria Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to dramatic changes to the way we travel. If you're planning a trip to Santa Maria Island, these tips will help you navigate the "new normal:"
  • Before committing to anything, see if any travel restrictions apply — in both your destination and origin. Get the latest updates by reviewing government and airport websites.
  • Requirements state that you must wear a face mask at the airport, including at screening checkpoints. You should be prepared to adjust your mask for ID purposes when asked.
  • To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • TSA is now permitting passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on bags. This will have to be removed from your bag for scanning.
  • Put any personal items (phone, keys and wallet) in your carry-on instead of a bin to minimize handling during the screening process.
  • If you're taking food on the plane with you, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to touch your carry-on bag or food container for inspection.
