Safety

  • Lost Person Protocol:
    • If a family member gets lost, report to a member of the front desk staff and request an alert to all staff members who may be able to assist in searching.
    • Give them as much information as possible including gender, age, race, clothing description, last known location, direction of travel, if known, and communication abilities (verbal/non-verbal/understands verbal communication).
    • It is recommended that you have a recent photo available on your mobile device so that you can share it with the resort team.
    • In normal circumstances GPS functions throughout the premises and there are no “blind spots.”
    • Stay at the front desk. This will enable the resort team to locate you as soon as possible once your family member has been located.
