Getting to Mexico:
Guests can travel to Mexico without taking a Covid test.  Expect health screenings at both the airport and resort.
Getting Home:
From Sandos website:
At Sandos Hotels & Resorts in Mexico, guests have the option to take Antigen or PCR COVID-19 tests at their own expense, directly on the resort, without having to leave the grounds. Additionally, anyone who tests positive during their stay at Sandos will be eligible for 2 extra nights in quarantine at no additional cost.

The measures that have been implemented so far are:

  • On-site PCR and Antigen Tests (covered by the guest).
  • PCR tests will cost 80 USD per person.
  • Antigen tests will cost 25 USD per person.
  • All tests are carried out on the property to avoid the displacement of guests. 
  • In the case of detecting positive cases of COVID-19 in guests, who require confinement, a stay will be granted at no extra cost at the hotel for 2 nights. This includes 3 meals per day and non-alcoholic beverages.
From CDC website: 

All air passengers 2 years or older with a flight departing to the US from a foreign country, are required show a negative COVID-19 viral test result taken no more than 1 day before travel, or documentation of having recovered from COVID-19 in the past 90 days, before they board their flight.

You must be tested with a viral test to look for current infection – these include an antigen test or a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT).

Phrases indicating a test is an antigen test could include, but not are not limited to:

  • Rapid antigen test
  • Viral antigen test
  • Also, could be noted as Antigen Chromatographic Digital Immunoassay, Antigen Chemiluminescence Immunoassay, or Antigen Lateral Flow Fluorescence
Testing Outside of the Hotel:
This article details the process if you want to test outside of the hotel, although it appears that the hotel prices are comparable to other testing sites. https://www.washingtonpost.com/travel/tips/covid-test-mexico-cdc/
***A question came up about if you could bring a rapid test from home to use to return to the states.  These tests do not have the date you took them, and will not be accepted****
