Hands-down, the staff was very polite. But for a resort, there’s nothing open late at night to eat, and it was also very quiet and boring in the evenings- it didn’t have the Columbia vibe The rooms are awesome, and the staff is great!

  • When you pass through airport screening, do not remove your face mask. You will be required to lower it briefly to verify your identity. Passengers who refuse to wear a mask may face civil penalties and may also be escorted from the building.
  • To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, place your boarding pass on the reader yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA employee.
  • You're allowed to take one container of hand sanitizer up to 12 oz (350 ml) in your hand luggage. You'll have to remove it for screening.
  • To reduce handling during the screening process, put items such as your loose change and phone into your carry-on rather than into the bins.
  • Transport your food items in a clear plastic bag and also put them in a screening bin. Keeping your food separate from your carry-on means it's less likely a TSA officer will need to open your bag for inspection.
