Hotelhinweis

Environmental tax payable locally.

Zusatzhinweis

****************************************
Hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This means that every hotel room user in Mexico is obligated to pay a fee to the state locally at the hotel in cash, similar to a tourist tax.
****************************************
As of April 1, 2021, a tourism tax was implemented 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 for reducing food waste, 3R devices for waste management in the hotels, and installed drinking water fountains.
We have two coral nurseries in front of the complex where we are working with our scientific team to restore the coral reefs.
Together with the community where the Paraíso complex is located, we monitor the hotel beaches for turtle nests, which are then relocated to camps set up for this activity.
We maintain mangrove areas within our Paraíso complex, which help protect our coasts and hotels from storms and hurricanes.
Community Tourism Project in 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, originally founded by seven passionate locals dedicated to preserving over 50 cenotes in the region and 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 itineraries and invites guests to explore the community and its natural surroundings with experienced local guides. Excursions include bike tours, cenote visits, and a local culinary experience.
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 advisable to carry the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars.
In the "Young Stars" catalog 2025/26 on page 213.

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 seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. Specifically, brown algae are often more prevalent in the Caribbean during this period, affecting the beach and sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, making efforts to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with municipal authorities. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may generate some noise.
