Current COVID-19 Protocols (subject to change):
-USA residents are NOT required to complete/submit a COVID-19 test for entry into Mexico at this time, however, taking a pre-travel test is recommended by EverAfter Travel. Many travelers have had good experiences with getting COVID-19 tests at places like their local Walgreens and CVS.
-You may need to wear a face covering on your flights, in the airports, and during your transportation vehicles.
-----Cancun airport https://www.cancunairport.com/
NOTE: Travelers were previously required to complete an immigration form online prior to arrival at the Cancun airport (or complete a paper version passed out by flight attendants on the plane), however, this is no longer required.
-Upon arrival in Mexico, you may be subject to health screenings including temperature checks.
-----U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Mexico https://mx.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/covid-19-information/
-Guests may be asked to wear a face covering in designated indoor spaces like: the lobby, retail stores, elevators, and waiting areas of common facilities (e.g. spa, beauty salon, restaurants/bars, etc.). Guests are not required to wear face coverings at the beach, the pool, or in restaurants/bars when actively eating and/or drinking.
-----AMResorts (parent company of Dreams & Secrets Playa Mujeres) https://info.amresorts.com/cleancomplete
NOTE: Effective 6/12/22, the U.S. is no longer requiring travelers two years and older returning to the U.S. from an international destination via air to show proof of a negative antigen (or PCR) COVID-19 test taken within one day prior to their return flight to the U.S.
-----Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) International Travel: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/international-travel/
-Quintana Roo (the state that Dreams &Secrets Playa Mujeres are in) introduced a departure tax of about $11 per person for international visitors and you may be asked to show proof of payment at the Cancun airport before you fly home. Here is the link for the website that can be used to pay the tax: http://visitax.gob.mx/sitio/ Please be sure to only use this official link as there are other scam sites out there that are not valid.
Flight Information
You may book your own flights directly with your preferred airline (NOTE: the Cancun International Airport code is CUN). Once your flights are booked, please send the confirmation details to Jodi for coordinating your shared round-trip airport transfers to and from the resort.
Shared Round-trip Airport Transfer Information
Shared round-trip airport transfers that bring you from the airport to the resort and back are included in the rates below.
Travel Information
A valid passport is required for international travel. The "six month validity rule" requires that a passport is valid for six months beyond your return date. It is the personal responsibility of each traveler to ensure that they have the correct travel documents and identification. Please refer to the U.S. Department of State website for the latest passport information: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports.html

Travel insurance Information
Optional travel insurance is available and EverAfter Travel encourages travelers to consider purchasing insurance as it can not only cover things like trip delays/cancellations, but it can also provide medical coverage while you're traveling just in case something happens - this is very important because your own medical insurance typically does not include international coverage.

When you are attempting to get a quote, the amount of insurance needed is typically the total value amount of your vacation package. Also, you will need to enter F030702 as the Travel Agency ID (ACCAM#) for EverAfter Travel when prompted.

-You need to update your insurance coverage immediately for any trip components added at a later date that you want covered e.g. flights
