General Manager, Cinnamon Bentota Beach, Donald Wingell, stated, “It is a pleasure to welcome our ten guests to Cinnamon Bentota Beach. All resort operations are being conducted under the strict compliance with government regulations, as well as our stringent standards for hygiene and safety as part of the brand’s own standard for cleanliness known as Cinnamon Care.

All guests underwent PCR testing at the Dubai Airport, followed by a subsequent PCR test prior to check-in at the property, yielding negative COVID results, and are expected to enjoy the next seven days at the property.
