**************************************
Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico will introduce an "Eco-Tax". As a result, every hotel room user in Mexico is required to pay a local government tax in cash at the hotel, similar to a tourist tax.
**************************************
A tourism tax was implemented on April 1, 2021, and is currently 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, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools can be integrated openly in the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.

Smoking ban

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

Seasonal information

Also bookable under CUNA63.
********************
During stays between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seaweed and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased incidence of brown algae in the Caribbean is frequently observed during this time. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, making every effort to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with municipal administrations. This, however, requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may cause a slight level of noise.
