The pool area has 50 square meters, which is an occupancy ratio that is not difficult to maintain safety distances in common areas, mainly in the area of catering and services. Whether the services take place inside the building or outside, there are no difficulties in terms of safety and hygiene measures. There is a specific space for the reception and disinfection of goods and suppliers outside the kitchen. The kitchen meets all the requirements of hygiene and space, as well as facilities to implement the new safety standards and protocols. Cleaning protocols will be strengthened in all facilities. Priority will be given to carrying out activities and staying for clients in outdoor spaces, terraces, gardens and in the 1.5 hectares of available property.
