Seasonal information

********************
During stays between April and December, there can be increased occurrences of sea grass and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, brown algae often appear more frequently in the Caribbean. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, committed to cleaning affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate equipment is necessary, which produces a slight noise level.
