What are some of the general tips for travelers to Catalina Island during the COVID-19 outbreak?

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected how the world works in all sorts of ways, including how and where we travel. These tips will help you navigate the new challenges and prepare you for your flight to Catalina Island: Find out if any travel restrictions apply to your destination and origin before locking in a flight. Also check if there are any requirements you'll have to follow on arrival, such as health testing. Keep your face mask on during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to lower your mask temporarily for identification purposes. Avoid handing your boarding pass (paper or electronic) directly to a TSA officer. Instead, place your pass on the reader and then hold it up to allow the agent to visually inspect it. TSA now allows passengers to take one container of hand sanitizer, up to 12 oz (350 ml) in size, in carry-on baggage. This will have to be removed from your bag and presented for screening. To minimize handling during screening, place items such as your keys, wallet, phone and belt into your carry-on instead of into the bins. If you're planning to take food through security screening, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a scanning bin. This lessens the likelihood that a TSA employee will need to handle your food container or carry-on bag for inspection.

My stay was absolutely extraordinary. The hotel is beautiful, with a strong wellness atmosphere that makes you feel calm and grounded from the moment you step into the lobby. There’s an immediate sense of tranquility that truly sets the tone for the entire experience. The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming throughout my stay. One detail I especially loved is their open dining concept — you can order from one central place and have your food brought to wherever you’re seated, whether that’s the bar, the garden, or the restaurant. It makes everything feel very relaxed and convenient. Even if you’re simply enjoying a glass of wine, there are so many comfortable spots to sit and unwind. I didn’t have the opportunity to visit the spa this time, but I was given a room on the 10th floor and was very happy with my stay overall. The restaurant Madeo is located on the property (though it’s not owned by the hotel). It’s originally from Italy, and I 100% recommend it. A truly lovely experience — I would definitely return.

Kimpton La Peer used to be my favorite hotel in LA but regrettably I won't be returning. The room that I received was right next to the service elevator making it extremely loud in the mornings. It was not thoroughly cleaned as I found rose petals underneath a chair directly in the line of site. The A/C heater took a while to actually work so I was either too cold or too hot for most of my stay. The carpet was stained and the room had a slight smell to it. Upon checkout I requested that my EV be charged and was told that Valet was behind but that it would be taken care of. I waited for over an hour and apparently they forgot to plug it in. I'll give it three stars for the excellent location but overall I do not feel it was worth the $1200 I paid for 2 nights.
