In the Dominican Republic, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be open and integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.

Seasonal Note

When staying between April and December, increased occurrence of seaweed and algae can occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased amount of brown algae is often recorded in the Caribbean during this period. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are naturally endeavoring to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the local municipalities. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which generates some noise.
