Note

As of now, hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This requires every hotel room user in Mexico to pay a local state tax in cash at the hotel.
**************************************
A tourism tax came into effect on April 1, 2021, and currently amounts to a one-time payment of 224 Mexican Pesos or approx. 18 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 two coral nurseries in front of the complex where we are working with our scientific team to restore coral reefs.
Together with the community where the Paraíso complex is located, we monitor the hotel beaches for turtle nests, which are then relocated to camps set up for this activity.
We maintain mangrove areas within our Paraíso complex, which help protect our coasts and hotels from storms and hurricanes.
Community Tourism Project in the Riviera Maya: The project takes place in the Caribbean community of Chemuyil in Quintana Roo. It is carried out by the Bejil-Ha Riviera Maya cooperative, originally founded by seven passionate locals dedicated to preserving over 50 cenotes in the region and protecting the native flora and fauna of the Yucatan Peninsula. This initiative benefits more than 30 local families and promotes awareness and protection of the area. It offers exclusive itineraries and invites guests to explore the community and its natural surroundings with experienced local guides. Excursions include bike tours, cenote visits, and a local gastronomic experience.
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. In this case, it is advisable to carry the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars.
In the catalog "Young Stars" 2025/26 on page 212.

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 punishable by 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, an increased presence of brown algae is often observed in the Caribbean during this period, affecting the beach and sea. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, making efforts to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may generate some noise.
