**************************************
From now on, hotels in Mexico will gradually introduce an "Eco-Tax".
This means that every user of a hotel room in Mexico is obliged to pay a contribution to the state locally at the hotel, similar to a tourist tax.
From February 1, 2026, the municipal environmental tax will be levied as follows: first guest 35.19 MXN, second guest 23.46 MXN, third guest 17.60 MXN. This tax applies to all guests aged 13 and over, is paid by guests directly at the hotel upon arrival, and is levied per room and night.
**************************************
A tourism tax came into force on 04/01/2021 and currently amounts to a one-time payment 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 also 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

For stays between April and December, increased occurrences of seaweed and algae may occur due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, brown algae are often increasingly found in the Caribbean during this period. This affects the beach and the sea. The hotel management and local authorities are naturally endeavoring to clean affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, this requires the use of appropriate equipment, which may generate some noise.
