Sustainability

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

This hotel holds the following certification:
  • Biosphere Responsible Tourism (valid until 22.06.2029)

Zusatzhinweis

As of April 1, 2021, a tourism tax was implemented, currently amounting 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 carry the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars.

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

During stays between April and December, increased occurrences of seagrass and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, frequent appearances of brown algae in the Caribbean are noted during this time. This can affect 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. However, the use of appropriate machinery is required for this, which may result in a slight background noise.
