Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts’ Five-Star Hotel Offers On-Site Physician for COVID Testing

This arrangement pairs Las Ventanas Resort al Paraíso, a Rosewood Resort, owned by Ty Warner Hotels & Resorts, with one of the leading private healthcare systems in Los Cabos to bring convenience and greater peace of mind to guests so they may thoroughly enjoy their stay at the resort.

«Our guests want and deserve a respite from the strains of our stressful times. Las Ventanas provides just such a haven,» said Ty Warner, owner of Las Ventanas al Paraíso.

The COVID-19 antigen tests will be provided free-of-charge to guests staying at Las Ventanas for a minimum of three nights. The tests are administered by BlueNet’s trained, bilingual doctors and nurses who are available 24-hours a day. PCR tests are also available for a supplemental charge, with a dependable turnaround to meet timing requirements. When guests check in, the resort’s dedicated butlers will confirm each guest’s testing date and time.

As a precaution for guests who may require a mandatory quarantine, the on-site clinic has four spacious and secluded suites available. Upholding its commitment to extending a deep sense of security for all guests and associates, Las Ventanas will offer limited services in these private spaces to better ensure safe and tranquil recovery.

This is not the first time Ty Warner has offered an extraordinary arrangement at one of his luxury five-star hotels. As coronavirus cases soared in New York City, Ty Warner was the first to organize and prepare his Four Seasons Hotel New York as a safe haven for first responders. He made it possible for doctors and nurses working the frontlines to reside at the Four Seasons Hotel New York free of charge. This allowed them the much-needed rest from their grueling days by saving them from extensive travel back and forth from their homes into the city and also eliminated unnecessary COVID exposure to their families and loved ones.

«We are continuously evolving to meet the needs and expectations of our guests,» says Frederic Vidal, managing director of Las Ventanas al Paraíso and a regional vice president for Rosewood Hotels & Resorts®. «We are confident that this arrangement with BlueNet Hospitals will help give our guests the comfort they need to relax and renew in paradise.»

There is no down payment required and qualified drivers can start with only payments of $16.67 for every $1,000 financed. Another deal that qualified drivers can take advantage of is the customer cash option available for the 2021 Toyota Prius. Drivers who want to use this deal can get up to $3,000 customer cash when they take home a new 2021 Toyota Prius. It is worth noting that there is no actual cash transaction taking place, just $3,000 will be removed from the MSRP of the Prius the driver wants to take home.

The third and final deal Toyota of Santa Maria is offering drivers is a leasing option. Drivers who want to lease the 2021 Prius can do so for as little as $249 a month for 36 months. Only $1,999 is due at signing.
