Fairmont Ajman, a leading five-star hotel in the emirate, has reopened its doors after a month-long closure due to the Covid-19 crisis, said a report.
The hotel's reopening has been approved by the Ajman Tourism Development Department, it confirmed in a statement, and the property will operate in line with directives from the Ministry of Health and Prevention and the National Emergency Crisis and Disaster Management Authority, a report in The National said.
As part of such guidelines, the hotel will cap the capacity of guests at 30 per cent, from room bookings to the use of facilities and restaurants.
"Sun beds will be placed two metres apart at the swimming pools and on the beach, to further enforce the social distancing rules put in place, and no walk-in pool and beach day-use passes are offered during this time, as the facilities are solely for the enjoyment of our in-house guest," the report cited a spokesperson as saying.
As well as reopening its pools, three food and beverage venues at Fairmont Ajman will also operate during Ramadan for limited hours, with a la carte menus only.
The restaurant Spectrum will be open for breakfast between 6am and 11.30am, the pool bar Salt & Sea will open between 12pm and 8pm, and Turkish restaurant Kiyi will open for iftar and suhoor between 6.30pm and 2am. In-room dining is also available all day, the report said.
“Our guests' and employees’ safety and wellbeing has always been a top priority for us and following the reopening of our beachfront resort, I would like to reassure our guests that we have implemented a number of new hygiene protocols and practices," said Fairmont Ajman's general manager, Kosta Kourotsidis.
