Seasonal information

For stays between April and December, increased occurrences of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, increased occurrences of brown algae are often observed in the Caribbean during this period. The beach and sea are affected by this. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, endeavoring to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with local councils. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which generates a slight noise.
