Hotelhinweis

Hotel can only be booked for guests aged 18 and over!
**************************************
Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico will gradually introduce an "Eco-Tax".
Consequently, every hotel guest in Mexico is required to pay a mandatory fee to the local authorities at the hotel in cash, similar to a visitor's tax.
**************************************

Zusatzhinweis

As of 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 also be paid in cash upon arrival at the airport. It is recommended to have the exact amount in Mexican pesos or US dollars ready.

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 punishable by 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 accumulation of brown algae is often recorded in the Caribbean during this time. This can affect the beach and the sea. 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 some noise.
