January 26th, 2021. Riviera Maya, Mexico: To continue providing guests with the highest levels of service, safety and peace of mind, Banyan Tree Mayakoba has partnered with Azumed to offer onsite COVID-19 testing. Antigen testing will be included for every paying guest with check-in date after January 25th, 2021. PCR testing will be available with an extra charge. Testing will be made at a temporary lab facility located onsite available everyday between 8 am - 1 pm and 2 pm – 4 pm, except on Sundays.

The onsite testing program helps guests adhere to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s new requirement, effective January 26, 2021, that all travelers entering (or returning to) the United States present a negative COVID-19 viral test result, paper or electric copy, taken within 3 days of departure of their first flight segment headed into the USA. This includes travelers who have already received the COVID-19 vaccine. Important guideline details:

Airlines must confirm the required documentation for all passengers (2 years of age and above) before boarding a flight. If a passenger does not provide documentation of a negative test or recovery, or chooses not to take a test, the airline must deny boarding to the passenger. This requirement applies to commercial and private flights.
In addition to the test results, travelers must fill out, sign and present a printed copy of this CDC Attestation Form to the airline representative.
If a traveler has recovered from COVID-19, the traveler will need proof of recovery within the last 3 months. Traveler must present both proof of positive test and a letter from a licensed health care provider or public health official confirming the passenger has been cleared for travel. Frequently Asked Questions can be accessed via the CDC website.
