Beautiful and clean beaches in Royal Solaris Cancun

Thanks to the great work carried out by the Housekeeper team of Royal Solaris Cancun, the beach of our resorts is almost free of sargassum.

Sargassum is a floating marine macroalgae found in tropical areas of the world, commonly near coral reefs. This algae grows rapidly doubling its size and weight during its journey from the area known as the Sargasso Sea (near the Bermuda triangle) In recent months the beaches of the Mexican Caribbean have seen an increase in the amount of algae that arrives to its coasts, reason why the Housekeeping team implemented more resources to reinforce the cleaning of the beach, so our members and guests can enjoy the characteristic turquoise color of our beautiful sea and the softness of the white sand on their feet.

The cleaning begins daily at 5:00 AM in the morning with a caterpillar tractor that runs the entire area cleaning the beach from the sargassum very carefully, it takes about two hours to clean the dry part of the sand, without getting too close to the sea, so as not to hurt any marine species that may live nearby.

Once the cleaning work of most of the Sargassum has been completed, it’s time for the housekeeping team to completely remove the sargassum from our beautiful beach. Some of the tools used are shovels, rakes and long fabrics that filter the surplus, this hard work of removing the seaweed that is near the seashore takes approximately two hours with a team of between 20 and 40 people, depending on the amount of sargassum.

Thanks to this great effort, we can say that even though all the beaches in the area are being affected by excessive sargassum, the Royal Solaris Cancun beach remains clean. So, come and take a dip! We are waiting for you!
