Q: Do I need covid travel insurance?
A: Covid related travel insurance is not required to get into Turks and Caicos Islands. However, it is recommended. We recommend purchasing through TCI Safe, www.tcisafe.com to ensure quality of insurance purchased. There are also plenty of other options, our U.S. reservations team is happy to assist with other options. We can be reached at 1-800-457-8787 or [email protected].
Q: What kind of insurance do I need?
A: Your covid travel insurance should include coverage in the event that you need to be medevaced back to the U.S. It will also need to include adequate quarantine or trip delay coverage in the event that a 5-7 day quarantine is needed. We recommend TCI Safe, www.tcisafe.com to ensure complete coverage. This is a very common requirement with travel insurance, so most providers will also include this with their coverage.
A: A massive vaccination program was rolled out at the start of 2021. The Turks and Caicos Ministry of Health, in conjunction with the U.K. Government, and many local health care providers are working diligently on education about it, as well as administration of the vaccine, with the goal being island-wide vaccination to all TCI qualifying residents. Ocean Club Resorts has played our role in this effort by providing vaccine education and Q&A sessions for all staff and assisting staff with appointments and paperwork. As of today, over 90% of our staff have been vaccinated and boostered. The vaccine is not mandatory, but we continue to provide vaccination and booster opportunities for all that would like it.
Q: Is there a mandatory quarantine on arrival?
A: No.
Q: What is a stay at Ocean Club Resorts like during Covid?
A: Ocean Club Resorts, and the Turks and Caicos Islands as a whole, have always focused on the individual guest experience instead of the “heads in beds” approach of many mega-resorts. Being socially distanced has always been a strong point! With plenty of room to spread out whether at the beach or pool, you will never feel too close to others. For guests that may not feel comfortable dining out, each suite is equipped with plenty of space for private dining.
Q: Going off property, what is it like?
A: Restaurants and shops alike are all following excellent protocols for guest and local comfort and safety.
Q: What about masks?
A: Masks are no longer required, however, it is recommended to travel with them just in case social distancing cannot be maintained.
