Seasonal information

During stays between April and December, increased occurrences of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, there is often an increased presence of brown algae in the Caribbean during this period. This affects the beach and the sea. Hotel management and local authorities are of course striving to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which emits a slight noise.
