This hotel holds the following certification:
  • Green Globe (valid until 25.01.2027)

Zusatzhinweis

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

Seasonal information

During a stay between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seagrass and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, a frequent increase in brown algae in the Caribbean can be observed. This may affect the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, working with municipal administrations to clean the affected beach sections. However, the use of appropriate equipment is necessary for this, which may cause a slight noise level.
