*************************************************
Wearing a wristband is necessary to use the All Inclusive services. Pets are not allowed. Appropriate attire is required in the à la carte restaurants. With low hotel occupancy, there may be restrictions on restaurant opening hours (main restaurant excluded) in exceptional cases.
In the Dominican Republic, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be open and integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without a spatial separation.

Seasonal information

During stays between April and December, increased occurrences of 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, affecting the beach and sea. The hotel management and local authorities are naturally making efforts to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which generates a slight noise.
