**************************************
As of now, hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This requires every user of a hotel room in Mexico to pay a fee to the state locally at the hotel in cash, similar to a tourist tax.
**************************************
A tourism tax was introduced on April 1, 2021, and 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.
**************************************
Features the Winnow system for reducing food waste, 3R devices for waste management in hotels, and installed drinking water fountains.
We have a coral nursery in front of the complex where we are working with our scientific team to restore the coral reefs.
The tax can be paid electronically before departure via the following link: http://www.visitax.gob.mx/sitio/
Alternatively, the tax can be paid in cash upon arrival at the airport. It is advisable to carry the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars.

No Smoking Policy

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

During stays between April and December, increased seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, brown algae are often found in the Caribbean during this period. This affects the beach and the sea. Hotel management and local authorities are of course endeavoring to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the local administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which can cause some noise.
