What are some of the general tips for travelers to Santo Antao during the COVID-19 outbreak?

In the era of the COVID-19 outbreak, traveling today comes with greater challenges. Take note of these helpful tips before boarding your flight to Santo Antao: Before committing to anything, see if any travel restrictions or bans apply — in both your origin and destination. Stay informed with the latest updates by checking government websites. Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA employee will require you to temporarily lower your mask to verify your identity. To reduce the potential of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your pass directly to a TSA agent. One liquid hand sanitizer container is now allowed in your carry-on luggage. It must not be larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to remove it from your bag for scanning. Put any personal items (phone, wallet and keys for example) in your carry-on instead of a bin to reduce handling during the screening process. Separate any food you're carrying for screening. Placing it in a clear plastic bag and into a bin reduces the need for a TSA agent to handle and inspect your belongings.

7.4/10 Good! (10 reviews)

The view from Belvedere is breathtaking, but the property is extremely far from the harbour and involves a long, tiring trek with countless stairs. The room, although described as a suite, is very basic and more in line with a 3-star standard at best. The staff did try to help, but their capacity was limited. The receptionist was unable to assist with luggage despite the many stairs; fortunately, our driver helped us. She also recommended a restaurant on arrival which turned out to be dreadful — essentially fast food for locals. It was dirty, unhealthy, and completely unsuitable. The swimming pool is tiny, though at least it allowed for some sunbathing. Breakfast was mediocre and ends at 11am. There is no food or drink service available during the day, which is unacceptable and reflects a general lack of service. The hotel feels more suited to backpackers and budget travellers — certainly not our taste and absolutely not luxury. Toiletries were minimal, towels and pillows had to be requested upon arrival (thankfully I had my own toiletries), and the bed was uncomfortable — the mattress triggered my sciatica. The reception itself is tiny, almost like a mouse hole, and unwelcoming. In short, aside from the spectacular views, I would not stay here again. This hotel is not for me or my husband.
