ARE YOU READY?
DOCUMENTATION
Valid passport: for trips to Mexico, at least 6 (six) months of validity, counting from the date of return to Brazil, are required.
IMPORTANT: the passport is also a mandatory document. If the passenger loses his passport during the trip, he must notify the competent Mexican authority in order to provide a document that authorizes him to return to Brazil. Upon arrival in Brazil, it is necessary to notify the competent Brazilian authority so that the document is canceled and then arrange for a new passport. It is recommended to make a copy of the passport sheets before the trip and file it in an email and on your cell phone.
Electronic Travel Authorization: Inform the entire period of the trip from boarding to the moment of return to Brazilian territory. For passengers traveling from 13 to 20, inform from 12 to 21 March 2022; and for passengers traveling from 18 to 25, inform from 17 to 26 March 2022; totaling, in both cases, 10 (ten) days ( https://www.inm.gob.mx/sae/publico/pt/solicitud.html) .
Negative RT-PCR Test (up to 72h before the flight) or ANTIGEN (up to 24h before the flight): at the time of boarding back to Brazil, proof of a negative RT-PCR test, obtained in the previous 72 hours, must be presented. Alternatively, a negative Antigen test may be presented, done within the previous 24 hours. Test results must be in Portuguese, Spanish or English ().
Travel Insurance: OPTIONAL, however it is advisable for the tourist to have travel insurance for any needs, according to his/her interest.
VACCINES
Covid-19 Vaccine: carry the National Certificate of Vaccine against COVID-19 translated into Spanish or English throughout the trip, which can be obtained through the website: ( https://www.gov.br/pt-br/servicos/ national-covid-19-vaccination certificate ). To enter Brazil, travelers are required to present a valid certificate for full vaccination against covid-19, using an approved vaccine. All vaccines approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) are accepted.
Yellow Fever Vaccine: The International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis - CIVP with registration of the Yellow Fever vaccine applied at least 10 (ten) days before the trip, is required of travelers coming from Brazil who want to go to Panama ("full dose" and not fractional). The CIVP can be obtained from the website: ( https://www.gov.br/pt-br/servicos/obter-o-certificado-internacional-de-vacinacao-e-profilaxia ).
IMPORTANT: It is advisable to arrange the CIVP, however, it is not required for Brazilians who only make a connection in Panama without leaving the airport ( http://panama.itamaraty.gov.br/pt-br/viagem_ao_panama.xml ).
SECURITY MEASURES AT AIRPORTS AND INSIDE AIRCRAFT .
The Ministry of Health, Anvisa and Anac have guidelines that must be followed while staying at airports and inside aircraft, among which we highlight:
It is advisable to constantly keep your hands clean through the use of alcohol gel, liquid soap and paper towels during the trip, as well as to maintain a social distance of at least two meters between people.
It is recommended that the traveler prefers to check-in through digital channels, such as airline applications or Web-Check-in, by cell phone, in order to avoid handling printed boarding passes.
IMPORTANT : The use of a face mask is maintained as a mandatory requirement to protect the health of the traveler, and it must be well adjusted to the face, covering the nose and mouth, without openings that allow the entry or exit of air and respiratory droplets and models that do not guarantee this protection, are not accepted at airports and on aircraft, for example: bandanas, scarves and face shields used without masks underneath will not be allowed, as well as acrylic or transparent plastic masks and those that have an expiration valve, even if they are professionals. Fabric masks made by hand or industrially with material such as cotton and tricoline are allowed, as long as they have more than one layer of protection and an adequate fit to the face. Inside the aircraft and at the airport terminals, it will only be allowed to remove the face mask for hydration. The mandatory use of masks does not apply to food courts during the meal.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
All passengers who purchased a complete package with us (with air ticket) are provided with basic travel insurance as a courtesy, which is already included among the services.
IMPORTANT: in case the passenger tests positive for covid-19 on the scheduled date to return to Brazil, he will have to pay for accommodation, purchase a new air ticket back to Brazil (if the air ticket exchange is possible, the passenger will bear any fine or fare difference imposed by the airline) and all the RT-PCR or ANTIGEN tests that he needs to provide to comply with the requirements established by the Brazilian government.
Recently, we received a report from the insurer about a new type of insurance that addresses some needs arising from the traveler testing positive for covid-19 during the trip, as until then there was no option in the market in this regard. Therefore, the passenger who has purchased a complete package with us (with air ticket) will be able to expand the coverage of his basic travel insurance to one of the new coverage options upon payment of the corresponding additional amount, in order to cover, for example, up to 10 (ten) days of quarantine with a maximum cost limit in daily rates and provided that all the requirements of the contract established by the insurer are met.
The implementation of this basic travel insurance "upgrade" to any of these available plans will be possible until 03/04/22 upon payment of the difference in the corresponding amount. After this date, all passengers will have their travel insurance issued and the policy sent by e-mail, which in turn must be printed by the passenger and taken with them throughout the trip. After issuing the travel insurance, if the passenger wants to change insurance, this will only be possible in case of purchasing a new insurance on their own.
The travel insurance information included in the package, as well as the new options that address some needs related to the topic of covid-19, are described below (“Bronze Al”, “Bronze Al Covid Mais” and “Latam Max Covid Mais”).
RT-PCR OR ANTIGEN TEST
The RT-PCR or Antigen test is paid for by the passenger himself, as insurance companies do not have plans that cover this cost. The Resort has provided Covid-19 tests among its extra services paid separately by the guest.
The RT-PCR Test must be performed up to 72h before the flight, while the ANTIGEN Test must be performed up to 24h before the flight.
INSURANCE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE AND OPTIONS FOR "UPGRADE"
GENERAL INFORMATION
Voltage: 110v, “American” outlet.
Type of currency and how much on average to take: US Dollar – US$ 800.00, on average. Tip: Smaller denominations are recommended for easier change.
Hotel Insurance: approximately US$ 35.00 - Mandatory insurance charged by the Hotel for each guest up to 25 (twenty-five) years old, payable at check-in).
International credit card: if the passenger intends to take a credit card with him, he must contact his bank's card center and inform the trip to enable its use abroad.
Hotel Internet: approximately US$ 40.00 to have Internet at the Hotel (the Hotel has several options for hourly, day and week plans) and payment is made only by international credit card directly by cell phone.
Data chip in Cancun: For greater passenger safety, we suggest that everyone is connected to the internet inside and outside the Resort. It is possible to book an Internet Chip with the B.MAX Team. The Chip must be reserved before the trip and payment must be made before Check-in, at the time of the Pre Check-in Meeting – US$ 35.00 (2.5GB to use internet throughout the city and region). Note: normally inside the hotel room, mobile data is blocked.
Tips at nightclubs: to be a VIP and have good service, it is customary in Cancun for tourists to pay tips to the waiters. B.MAX collects the amount of US$ 10.00/US$ 15.00 (depending on the party), per night and per passenger, and pre-books a “Table VIP” (table for the B.MAX group with and exclusive service). For the smooth running of the trip due to the number of passengers, the total amount of fees is collected at the Pre Check-in Meeting directly by the B.MAX Team. Thus, the passenger will only need to show up before the agreed time limit in order to board the transport for the nightclub, without having to handle money and change, which could delay the group.
Taxi value Hotel/Balada/Hotel: US$ 20.00, each way.
Baggage to be checked : Up to 1 (one) piece (50 x 80 x 28cm) weighing up to 23Kg (twenty-three kilos).
Hand luggage: Up to 1 (one) piece (55 x 35 x 25cm) weighing up to 10 kg (ten kilos).
IMPORTANT: Hand Bag X Checked Bag:
Choose well which items to leave in the "hand bag" and "bag to be checked". The most valuable belongings, such as money, passport, cell phone, camera, GoPro (etc), must be kept with you in the “hand bag”.
The "bag to be checked" should preferably contain clothes and shoes. We even recommend the constant use of a padlock on all bags throughout the trip.
Medicines must be transported in the "hand bag" always accompanied by their respective medical prescriptions.
At the time of Spring Break, the Resort is at its maximum capacity, so we advise you to leave a change of clothes and shoes prepared in your "hand bag" for arrival in Cancun. This precaution is useful in cases where the room is not ready or in cases where arrival at the Hotel takes place before check-in time (from 3 pm). In these cases, all guests' bags must remain in their own place until the room is released. After Check-in, the passenger can remove the bags with the “ticket”/proof (withdraw one ticket per bag as soon as they are handed over to the Hotel employee), and enter their room.
What kind of clothes to bring:
MEN:
Beach shorts, shorts, swimming trunks, flip-flops, sneakers, glasses, sunscreen, jeans, tank tops, shirts or shirts with sleeves (some nightclubs and restaurants have a dress code and do not allow men wearing shorts, t-shirts to enter sleeveless and/or caps), padlock for the checked bag.
WOMEN:
Bikinis, bathing suits/skirts, skirts, shorts, dresses, blouses, flip-flops, sandals, sandals, sneakers, caps/hats, sunglasses, sunscreen, lip balm, beach bag and padlock for the checked bag.
Bonus Tip - Airplane Check-in : if you are traveling with more friends and want the seats on the flight to be together, all you need to do is check-in at the Airport together, so it will be considered a group trip and the Cia Aérea, preferably, will place them all (or most) in seats together. Another effective option is to carry out the "web check-in", if the Airline of your flight makes this service available, simply carrying out this step by step together to simultaneously choose the seats really together, according to the availability of the Airline itself at the time of the "web check-in". Check in". When carrying out the web Check-in, you will only have to check your bag at the Airport (if you are traveling with “bag to be checked”). The “web check-in” makes the boarding process more practical and faster.
Bonus Tip - Hotel Check-in : The same tip above applies to the Hotel. So if you are traveling with a group of friends or made friends with other travel participants during the plane trip and would like your rooms to be close to the Hotel, check in at the Hotel together and remember to ask the Hotel employee who wish to be allocated in nearby rooms, because in this case, if the Hotel has availability, this is the only opportunity and the right time to do so.
