Sustainability

With our "Travel with a Future" label, we identify hotels that verifiably meet recognized sustainability standards. These include, among others, standards recognized by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC) and the Tourism Sustainability Certifications Alliance (TSCA). Currently, around 20% of the hotels in our program meet these criteria and have been audited through independent certification processes. This product line offers our guests additional guidance when choosing their accommodation.

Further information on the topic of sustainability at Schauinsland-Reisen can be found at: https://nachhaltigkeit.schauinsland-reisen.de/reisen-mit-zukunft

This hotel has the following certification:
  • Earthcheck (valid until 21.08.2027)
  • Ecostars (valid until 21.05.2027)

Zusatzhinweis

Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
As a result, every hotel room guest in Mexico is obligated to pay a state environmental tax locally at the hotel in cash.
**************************************
On April 1, 2021, a tourism tax was implemented, which currently amounts to a one-time fee of 224 Mexican pesos or approx. 11 US dollars per person, regardless of the planned duration of stay in the country.
The tax can be paid electronically before departure via the following link: http://www.visitax.gob.mx/sitio/
Alternatively, the tax can be paid in cash upon arrival at the airport. It is recommended to carry the exact amount in Mexican pesos or US dollars. In Mexico, washbasins or bathtubs/hot tubs may be integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
In the "Long-haul travel" catalog 2025/26 on page 54.

Smoking ban

Smoking is prohibited in all public places in Mexico. This also applies to public transport, beaches, parks, hotels, and restaurants. Violations may be punished with fines or imprisonment.

Seasonal information

Between April and December, increased occurrences of seagrass and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased amount of sargassum (brown algae) is often recorded in the Caribbean during this time. This can affect the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities naturally strive to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate machinery is required for this, which may cause a slight noise level.
