COVID-19 Update

OUR COMMITMENT TO OUR GUESTS & TEAM MEMBERS REGARDING COVID-19

The Acandia hotel has the health, safety and security of our guests and team members as our highest priority. The Acandia hotel  has created new operating procedures and guidelines including a response plan regarding the exposure and prevention of the COVID-19 spread.

These procedures will see new ways of working in all departments including Reception, Housekeeping, Restaurant, Bar, Kitchens, Maintenance, Swimming pool and other areas of operation.

The new measures aim to cover a wide range of hotel operations and we have paid close attention to the World Health Organisation recommendations as well as the European and National legal requirements considering the COVID-19 preventative measures and includes an emergency plan in case of a suspected or confirmed case.
