As part of our commitment to ensure our Owners, Guests and Team Members always feel safe while staying at our resorts, while we do not mandate that Team Members get vaccinated, we highly recommend that all Team Members get vaccinated as per CDC and state guidelines and have initiated a comprehensive plan to support Team Members through the process. HGV will continue to follow all CDC guidance, as well as our Enhanced Care Guidelines.

HGV was informed a third-party exit company is offering Owners an option to reschedule future reservations or extend Points by paying a fee over the phone. HGV is not affiliated with this company, and we caution you against engaging with them. Complete our Incident Intake Questionnaire if you suspect you’ve been a victim of this scam. Learn more about third-party fraud and how to protect yourself HERE.

 

We remain dedicated to providing a clean and safe environment for our Owners, Guests and Team Members. That’s why, as the COVID-19 pandemic evolved, so did our focus to further evolve our standards of cleanliness at our resorts worldwide. HGV’s Enhanced Care Guidelines with Hilton CleanStay™ incorporate several steps to ensure our Owners and Guests feel confident as they think about their arrival and upcoming vacation experience.

As the guidelines for COVID-19 continue to change, we ask that Owners and Guests follow local and state regulations as it relates to face coverings and CDC requirements.

Continued cleaning and protection standards include: 

• Reviewing and continuing to implement sanitation procedures across our properties.
• Identifying high-touch areas, such as elevators and Front Desks, and implementing additional cleaning measures.
• Redistributing team members to ensure maximum cleaning is occurring during high-volume timeframes.

We encourage you, your families and all guests to follow the CDC’s guidelines on how to take precautionary steps to mitigate possible transmissions of the virus, including frequently washing your hands, not touching your face and avoiding travel to affected areas if you are at high risk.

In addition, many healthcare officials and state governments have stated that it is advisable to avoid crowded places where transmissions could occur more easily. If you believe you are feeling ill, we encourage you to see your medical healthcare provider.

• For information about COVID-19, including symptoms, refer to the resources provided by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
• For information on travel advisories and restrictions, including a map of impacted travel locations, visit the U.S. Department of State ― Travel Advisories page.
• As of February 1, 2021, the CDC has issued a federal transportation mask mandate requiring all passengers to wear masks on public conveyances and transit hubs, including airports, airplanes, ships, ferries, taxis, ride-share vehicles (i.e. Uber, Lyft), buses, trains and subways. Not wearing a mask as instructed while commuting on public transportation is a violation of federal law. For more information on federal mask mandates, visit CDC.gov – Mask Travel Guidance.
