***********************************
Pets not allowed.
****************************************
Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico will gradually introduce an "Eco-Tax".
As a result, every guest in a hotel room in Mexico is required to pay a state-imposed tax in cash at the hotel, similar to a tourist tax.
****************************************
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.
