• Will I get sick during my travels

  At Dfrost Almugar we take the safety and security of all our guests as our highest priority. Although we as a business have no control over illnesses, as there are too many 3rd parties involved, we have put in place numerous measures to reduce the spread of illness, including structured protocols for cleaning and disinfecting, regular inspections by local laboratories to ensure food quality and safety, a staff training program and more.

  We feel it is important to inform you about this situation and can understand if you do not want to take the risk of getting sick during your vacation.

  If you decide to go on a vacation, we would like to point out a few things which might help to prevent any kind of sickness.

  • Take your body hygiene very seriously. That means wash your hands with soap for a min. of 20 seconds after every toilet visit or touching open “areas” of your body. Disinfect after every time being in the bathroom.
  • Wash and disinfect your hands before eating.
  • Be careful when using public bathrooms; do only touch the necessary.
  • Should you have sick people next to you, make sure to inform the reception team so our hygiene protocol can be applied.
  • Should you have a sick person next to you, make sure to not share cutlery, plates, glasses, towels or anything with this person.
  • Do not eat any uncooked street food.
  • Do not drink tea offered at the beach; we do not know where the water is coming from.
  • Keep a simple rule: if you do not know where your food is coming from. Peel it, cook it or leave it.
  • Do not touch, feed or cuddle stray animals. They are full of dirt, bacteria and disease.
• Can I drink the tap water

  Tap water we receive at our Dfrost locations comes from the general water company of Morocco and is pre-filtered.

  • Pipe Water: This water is great for your morning routine, brushing your teeth, taking a shower. We do not recommend to drink.
  • Make use from our free filtered water drinking stations at our locations or buy closed water bottles with us or any shop around you.
• Medical Information

  Please visit your country’s traveling information page to inform yourself about current travel status.
