Seasonal Note

During stays between April and December, increased seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased presence of brown algae is often observed in the Caribbean during this period. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, working to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of special equipment, which can cause some noise.
