I am a 30 year owner at the Royal Resorts in Cancun, Mexico. I have been here since January 25th. Did not plan on being here this long, but there is no virus here, it does not do well in well ventilated, high temps or high humidity. It is 82+ degrees and the breeze from the ocean is the most ventilation anyone could get. There is a full-time English speaking doctor at the resort and she has not treated anyone for flu or virus. My family and friends who have all stayed here multiple weeks are all telling me to stay rather than returning home where we are on "lock-down" until April 13. The only ones texting and emailing me to come home are those who are afraid to come to Mexico even in good times, or over-reacted when they heard they were "closing the boarder" into Mexico and Canada. They closed the boarder to non-US citizens, physically crossing into the country and I am not driving over the boarder, I am flying in. and I am a US citizen. The Royal Resort management consolidated all of us at the Royal Sands on Wed. and closed the other resorts. They provided us "free" shuttle service here. There are only around 300 of us here, less than 5% occupancy. Some people arrived on Saturday (there were 30 people on their flight from Denver) and 1 person from Cleveland (5 people on their flight). All the services are open at the resort. The resort has daily maid service and is exceptionally clean all the time, but they have implemented even more cleaning processes on top of their normal requirements. They would love to have more guests at the resort and would welcome anyone who wants to join us. I feel badly for the resort employees who rely on their tips for survival. They really count on Spring Break, Good Friday and Easter Weeks for their income. I still have not booked a flight home, I think I want to wait it out until the "lock-down" at home ends. The resort has no plans to close.
