In a recent statement, Victoria House Resort & Spa has announced to offer a COVID-19 concierge service on-site. The announcement follows the recent changes in travel that require travelers to show a negative COVID-19 test before re-entering the United States and Canada. Understandably, these changes may be frustrating, but Belize is responding by expanding testing capacity and availability for returning travelers.

Victoria House Resort & Spa is going one step above to make the process even easier for travelers. The resort has coordinated with local medical clinics and professionals to provide personal concierge on-site COVID-19 testing. Alternatively, if guests prefer, they could also choose to be tested at one of the clinics on Ambergris Caye.

Here’s everything you need to know about having your COVID-19 testing done at Victoria House Resort and Spa in San Pedro, Belize.
