Seasonal Note

For stays between April and December, increased presence of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased occurrence 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 making efforts to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the local authorities. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which can cause a slight noise disturbance.
