What Steps Are You Taking to Prevent Further Spread of COVID-19?
Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and at Flying Flags at Avila Beach, we’re ramping up our safety protocols in response. We’re offering curbside check-in and convenient takeout from our café. We’re capping capacity in our communal spaces and expanding our sanitizing protocols. We’re helping guests stay socially distanced while fostering a sense of togetherness. And we’re making sure that our staff members wear personal protective equipment to keep everyone safe. We screen our staff at the beginning and end of every shift. And we use sterilizing wands to help ensure your room is clean too.
The California Health Order is constantly evolving. And we encourage all of our guests to stay on top of the health recommendations and guidelines by reviewing the latest from Santa Barbara County. The bottom line is that your safety is our top priority. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to give us a call at (805) 888-0158.
