Need more flexibility and financial peace of mind? You can choose to add travel insurance during checkout through our program, or you can purchase it from any provider you prefer. The decision is entirely yours! Resnexus offers a travel insurance program with benefits designed to protect your trip in case of unforeseen circumstances.
While we do not earn any commission incentives if you choose Resnexus travel insurance, we may receive reimbursement when your claim is approved. Here is a brief overview of the offered programs and some key advantages of opting for this insurance:

No children under the age of 13 or infants are allowed.

Please shower before using the tub to remove make-up, sun-screen, insect repellent, or any other oil-based products.

Only clean swimwear may be worn in the tub as the chemicals in the water will remove the colored dyes found in ordinary clothing, causing them to leach into the water and turn it cloudy.
-
Prevent accidental drowning. Leave the hot tub cover on and latched when the spa is unsupervised.
-
Prevent Hyperthermia. Understand that alcohol and other medications greatly increase the chance of hyperthermia – the opposite of hypothermia. This occurs when the internal body temperature reaches several degrees above the normal temperature of 98.6 degrees.
-
Glass. Don’t do it, ever. Trust us.
-
Do not use a hot tub if you are taking any medication that makes you drowsy or affects your circulation; if necessary, check with your doctor. Pregnant women and the elderly should also consult their doctor before using a hot tub.
-
Do not use the hot tub if you are under the influence of alcohol or drugs as your judgment will be impaired and you could become unconscious and drown.
-
No smoking is permitted in or around the tub.
-
People with cuts or external infections should not use the tub
