Seasonal information

During a stay between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seagrass and algae due to wind, temperature and currents. In particular, an increased appearance of brown algae in the Caribbean is frequently recorded. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, making every effort to clean the affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal authorities. However, the use of appropriate equipment is necessary for this, which causes a slight background noise.
