Sustainability

Travel with a Future provides guidance for making conscious choices. Our label identifies hotels certified according to internationally recognized standards for sustainable operating practices, which actively invest in a more sustainable future. These standards cover social responsibility, environmental awareness, and the cultural and economic aspects of sustainable tourism, as defined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).Further information on sustainability at schauinsland-reisen at: https://nachhaltigkeit.schauinsland-reisen.de/reisen-mit-zukunftThis hotel has the following certification:

Note

Facilities of Bahia Principe Grand Coba can be used (except for buffet restaurants).
In Mexico, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be openly integrated into the general living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
**************************************
Hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This means that every guest using a hotel room in Mexico is obliged to pay a tax to the state directly at the hotel, similar to a tourist tax.
**************************************
As of April 1, 2021, a tourism tax came into effect and currently amounts to a one-time payment of 224 Mexican Pesos or approximately 11 US Dollars per person, regardless of the 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 arrival at the airport. It is advisable to carry the exact amount in Mexican Pesos or US Dollars.
*********************
In the Caribbean, most rooms are equipped with two queen-size beds (approx. 1.40 x 2m). For occupancies of 2 adults + 1/2 children/3 adults, no extra beds will be placed in the room, meaning occupancy is 2 people per bed, even if rollaway beds are listed on the confirmation!
In the "Long-Haul Travel" catalog 2025/26 on page 51.

No Smoking

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, there is often an increased presence of brown algae in the Caribbean during this period, affecting the beach and sea. Hotel management and local authorities are of course making efforts to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with local councils. However, this requires the use of equipment, which may generate some noise.
