This hotel holds the following certification:
  • Travelife (valid until 29.10.2026)

Seasonal information

During stays 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 can be observed in the Caribbean. This can impact the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities naturally strive to clean the affected beach sections in cooperation with the local municipalities. This, however, requires the use of appropriate machinery, which may result in a slight background noise level.
