Location

Located directly on a bay with a fine sandy beach, next to the Xcaret nature park, this extraordinary complex is approx. 6 km from Playa del Carmen. Outstandingly embedded in the natural environment, it offers a very special ambiance thanks to the Mayan ruins located on the grounds. The complex is crossed by a small, man-made river, is built in a Mediterranean style, and offers unique activities at the Xcaret theme park for a fee.

Sustainability

Reisen mit Zukunft provides guidance for making conscious decisions. Our label identifies hotels that are certified according to internationally recognized standards for sustainable operating practices and are actively investing in a more sustainable future. These standards encompass social responsibility, environmental awareness, and cultural and economic aspects of sustainable tourism, as defined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Further information on the topic of sustainability at schauinsland-reisen can be found at: https://nachhaltigkeit.schauinsland-reisen.de/reisen-mit-zukunft

This hotel holds the following certification:
  • Ecostars
  • Green Globe

Hotelhinweis

Wearing a wristband is necessary to take advantage of the All-Inclusive services! There is a café in the lobby which is not operated by the hotel and is therefore not included in the All-Inclusive package!

Zusatzhinweis

In Mexico, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
**************************************
Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico will gradually introduce an "Eco-Tax".
As a result, every hotel guest in Mexico is obligated to pay a state-levied fee in cash at the hotel, similar to a local tourist tax.
**************************************
On April 1, 2021, a tourism tax came into effect, which currently amounts 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

For stays between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seaweed and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased presence of brown algae (sargassum) in the Caribbean is often recorded 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 local municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate machinery is required for this, which may cause a slight noise level.
