Community tourism project on the Riviera Maya: The project takes place in the Caribbean community of Chemuyil in Quintana Roo. It is carried out by the Bejil-Ha Riviera Maya cooperative, which was originally founded by seven passionate locals dedicated to preserving more than 50 cenotes in the region as well as protecting the native flora and fauna of the Yucatán Peninsula. This initiative benefits more than 30 local families and promotes awareness and protection of the area. It offers exclusive travel routes and invites guests to explore the community and its natural surroundings with experienced local guides. The excursions include bicycle tours, visits to cenotes, and a local gastronomic experience.

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 a stay between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seaweed and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, a frequent increase in brown algae in the Caribbean can be 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 local municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate machinery, which may result in a low noise level.
