COVID-19 PROTOCOLS – WHAT TO EXPECT ON ARRIVAL   CocoLaPalm re-opened July 15th with new and enhanced safety and hygiene protocols and we are looking forward to welcoming you this winter season. We are also pleased to announce that every month we are seeing slight improvements in our guest arrivals.   Travelling during a pandemic is not an easy task, however, knowing what to expect will help to allay some of the anxiety. Here are a few tips/suggestions:   Visit Visit Jamaica Travel Authorization/ and follow the instructions regarding travel authorization and requirements for travel to Jamaica.  We suggest using Club Mobay Lounge which offers VIP arrival and departure lounge access as well as expedited hassle free services through immigration and customs. Visit VIP Attractions to book.  We also suggest having the hotel arrange private transfers through our taxi desk for you and your family to and from the hotel.   We do not provide a shuttle service so the transfers are only for members of your party. Our drivers are trained and follow very strict Covid-19 safety protcols as outlined by the Ministry of Health and Wellness. Carrying capacity is reduced, busses are sanitized after every trip and passengers are expected to wear a mask.  On arrival at the hotel, your temperature will be taken and your luggage sanitized before it is brought to the room. Temperature checks are also done at the Restaurant and Bar. Hand sanitizing stations are provided throughout the property for guests’ use. Guests are required to wear a mask when interacting with the staff or other guests, when visitng the Lobby, Gift-shop, Spa or other common areas. Guests are also required to social distance at the Restaurant, Bar, Beach, Pool etc.  Use of the complimentary room service option is strongly recommended as well.  Guests leaving the property are encouraged/reminded to take along their mask and hand sanitizers.  Guests are also encouraged to visit Visit Jamaica Travel Authorization for a list of approved tours and attractions they wish to visit while on vacation.

Anniversary     We would like to wish a Happy Anniversary to this wonderful couple, Tashena and Dave Nelson who had their beautiful sunset wedding here in December 2017. Tashena is originally from Westmoreland, Jamaica while Dave is from New York.  We wish them endless love, good health and happiness as they celebrate another year of togetherness.   ~ cocoweddings@cocolapalm.com ~

This month’s recipe is a request from several of our guests that we are happy to repeat here at anytime.

Method:

1.  Combine all ingredients except the garnish in a  blender and blend
      until smooth

2.  Squeeze chocolate syrup around the inside rim of your glass.  It will
      drizzle down the inside of the glass creating a rich look and adding a
        touch of sweet chocolate to the flavours

3.  Pour the mixture into a Parfait or Pina Colada style glass      

4.  Top with the Maraschino cherry Enjoy!
