Sustainability

Travel with a Future provides guidance to make conscious decisions.

These standards include social responsibility, environmental awareness, as well as cultural and economic aspects of sustainable tourism, as defined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Hotelhinweis

In Mexico, sinks or even bathtubs/whirlpools may be integrated openly into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation. **************************************
Guests of the Bahia Principe Grand Coba can also use the à la carte restaurants of the Bahia Principe Grand Tulum (CUN161), giving them access to a total of 10 restaurants. There is also a shuttle bus between the hotels, the conference rooms, and the golf course.

Zusatzhinweis

Effective immediately, hotels in Mexico will gradually introduce an "Eco-Tax".
As a result, every hotel room user in Mexico is required to pay a state-levied fee in cash at the hotel, similar to a tourist tax.
**************************************
On April 1, 2021, a tourism tax was implemented, 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 amount in the exact change 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 punishable by fines or imprisonment.

Seasonal information

During a stay between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seaweed and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, an increased accumulation of brown algae in the Caribbean is frequently recorded. This can affect the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities naturally strive to clean the affected beach sections in cooperation with the local municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate machinery is required for this, which may cause a slight noise level.
