Sustainability

Travel for the Future provides guidance for making conscious decisions. Our label identifies hotels that are certified according to internationally recognized standards for sustainable operating practices and actively invest in a more sustainable future. These standards encompass social responsibility, environmental awareness, and cultural and economic aspects of sustainable tourism, as defined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Further information on sustainability at schauinsland-reisen can be found at: https://nachhaltigkeit.schauinsland-reisen.de/reisen-mit-zukunft

This hotel has the following certification:
  • Ecostars

Information

Dress code: Casual, knee-length trousers for men are required in the à la carte restaurants. Wearing a wristband is necessary to use the All-Inclusive services. The serving of alcoholic beverages is prohibited for individuals under 18 years of age. Electricity: 110V. In Mexico, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools may be open and integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
From now on, hotels in Mexico will gradually introduce an "Eco-Tax".
This means that every hotel room user in Mexico is obliged to pay a fee to the state locally at the hotel in cash, similar to a tourist tax.
**************************************
A tourism tax came into force on April 1, 2021, and currently amounts to a one-time payment of 224 Mexican Pesos, or approximately 11 US Dollars per person, regardless of the duration of the 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 advisable to carry the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars.

No smoking policy

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

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. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are of course making efforts to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with local administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may generate some noise.
