Awesome, sounds good. Which resort are you visiting?
I'm at Secrets Playa Mujeres until tomorrow, then I'll be at Zoetry Isla Mujeres until Thursday.
There are hand sanitizing stations every 100 feet and in front of every doorway. They squeeze more sanitizer onto your hands at the table as they're wiping it down in front of you. Napkins and silverware are double wrapped, and they slide the inner wrap out of the outer wrap using tongs. Every employee wears a mask. They wipe down the golf cart shuttles before you sit down and after you get up. Remotes, in-room menus (iPads), etc are all covered in plastic and sanitized. Housekeeping is here THREE times per day. The resorts are at 30% capacity. It's possible to completely avoid other people altogether. Plenty of empty tables/chairs and lots of room to spread out. Our room has a private pool as well, so we've spent a lot of time there, but I'm very comfortable walking around and sitting at restaurants.
My HR director tried to make us self quarantine when we get back. I'll be able to tell her with 100% sincerity that our office break room is 100 times more dangerous than anything I've encountered at the Cancun airport, our transportation, or this resort. The Cancun airport was cleaner than Austin. And my goodness, security was a breeze at both locations!
These folks are very serious about safety, they're incredibly friendly, and they want/need your business. I'd encourage anyone who is on the fence about international travel right now to pull the trigger. Other than my already-insane sunburn, this is the perfect time to go.
