Note

Hotel code: CUN207
Hotels in Mexico will introduce an "Eco-Tax". As a result, every guest using a hotel room in Mexico is obliged to pay a local tax to the government in cash at the hotel.
**************************************
As of April 1, 2021, a tourism tax has been in effect and currently amounts to a one-time payment of 224 Mexican Pesos or approximately 11 USD per person, regardless of the length 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 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 catalog "Long-haul travel" 2025/26 on page 56.

No smoking

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. 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 naturally endeavoring to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may generate some noise.
