Seasonal information

During a stay between April and December, increased occurrences of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased emergence of brown algae is frequently recorded in the Caribbean during this time. The beach and the sea may be affected by this. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, striving to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate equipment is necessary for this, which causes a slight level of background noise.
