*************************************
Hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This requires every hotel room user in Mexico to pay a local state tax, similar to a tourist tax, directly at the hotel in cash.
As of February 1, 2026, the municipal environmental tax will be levied as follows: first guest MXN 35.19, second guest MXN 23.46, third guest MXN 17.60. This tax applies to all guests aged 13 and older, is paid by guests directly at the hotel upon arrival, and is charged per room per night.
**************************************
In Mexico, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be open and integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
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.
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 entry 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 occurrences of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, there is often a higher incidence of brown algae 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 municipal administrations. This requires the use of appropriate equipment, which can generate some noise.
