Note

In Mexico, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be openly integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
**************************************
Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This requires every user of a hotel room in Mexico to pay a state levy 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 planned duration of stay in the country.
**************************************
Features the Winnow system to reduce food waste, 3R equipment for waste management in hotels, and installed drinking water fountains.
We have a coral nursery in front of the complex where we work with our scientific team to restore coral reefs.
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 have the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars with you.

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

For stays between April and December, increased occurrences of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased amount of brown algae is often observed in the Caribbean during this period. The beach and sea are affected by this. Hotel management and local authorities are naturally striving to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may generate some noise.
