Sunrise Villa Covid Policies
We are committed to ensuring your safety and well being when it comes to exposure to the Covid Virus.
The villa adheres to all hospitality industry standards for cleanliness and sanitization.
With a property that is largely indoor/outdoor living, your risks are minimized beyond what one might expect from a completely indoor space.
Staff are tested periodically and all have been 100% vaccinated.
The Dominican Republic has been fortunate to have been impacted significantly less than the USA.
Overall country numbers for infections, hospitalizations and deaths have been considerably better than those experienced in the States.
With our area being somewhat remote, we have even better stats.
Travel Rules for visiting the DR
There are no travel restrictions when visiting the Dominican. No testing nor proof of vaccination is required.
A simple online health questionnaire is required prior to leaving home
To return to the States you must provide proof of a negative Covid test, taken a day before your departure.
This test is conducted at the villa, by a local doctor. The cost is $70 per person and must be paid at the time of the test in cash.
You will receive a government/airline approved document which allows you to board the plane for your return home.
What to do if you test positive
Fortunately, we have your back in the event you test positive.
We have a client quarantine and assistance plan in place.
If you do test positive the villa staff will ensure that:
You have a place to quarantine. This could be the villa if available, a local hotel, a condo, or even a rented vacation property.
You will be fed. Staff will bring you your meals!
You will be checked on by a fabulous local MD. Our preferred and beloved “La Doctora” will be available to monitor your health and well being.
You will be provided a re-test immediately and then again at 5, and if needed, 7 days.
Once you’re negative you will be free to return home.
There are, of course, a few restrictions.
This offer of quarantine assistance only applies to the individual testing positive. There may be extra costs for those who elect to remain in country.
The limits of our help are as follows:
Accommodations and meals: $2,000 total
Medical costs such as doctor visits, medicines, and testing is NOT included.
There is a 7 day time limit on our help with food and lodging, but we will be available to provide further guidance.
You must not bring Covid from home with you! We strongly suggest everyone get a Covid test prior to leaving home.
This is for the safety and protection of everyone in your group. Note, this is not arequirement to travel of visit the villa.
You will not be required to “show papers” at anytime
Finally, we most emphatically suggest Covid travel insurance. Our offering is definitely not an insurance policy and should not be taken as a substitute for one
This site is superb for finding the policy right for you:
