Note

In Mexico, sinks or bathtubs/whirlpools may be openly integrated into the main living area of the hotel room without spatial separation.
*************************************
Hotels in Mexico are gradually introducing an "Eco-Tax".
This means that every user of a hotel room in Mexico is obliged to pay a tax to the state locally at the hotel, similar to a tourist tax.
**************************************
As of April 1, 2021, a tourism tax has been implemented, currently a one-time payment of 224 Mexican Pesos or approximately 11 US Dollars per person, regardless of the length 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.

Destination information

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 amounts of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, brown algae are often found in the Caribbean during this period, affecting the beach and sea. The hotel management and local authorities are making efforts to clean affected beach areas in cooperation with local councils. However, this requires the use of special equipment, which may cause some noise.
