Seasonal information

For stays between April and December, increased seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, increased brown algae are often found in the Caribbean during this period. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are of course endeavoring to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with local administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which emits a slight background noise.
