====From the resort====
There have been no reported incidences of the Zika virus at any Palace Resorts property nor in the vicinity of the destinations our properties are located. However, the company recommends guests consider suggestions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) including covering exposed skin, using EPA-registered insect repellents and sleeping in air conditioned rooms.
 
As scientific investigations are ongoing to determine more details surrounding the Zika virus, Palace Resorts will continue normal operations while vigilantly monitoring for relevant and conclusive information to be released. Furthermore, Palace Resorts will maintain our strict fumigation and pest control procedures which are managed by an external professional company. The Government keeps their own prevention activities and they do it stronger on the rainy seasons.
