On January 15, 2023, changes in the Mexican law concerning the advertising of tobacco products and smoking and the use of vaping devices in public places came into effect. Stores may still sell cigarettes and cigars, but advertising is not permitted.
Smoking and vaping are now prohibited in public spaces in which nonsmokers and smokers congregate such as restaurants, hotels, stadiums and event spaces, shopping centers, public transport, beaches and parks, among others. Smokers must use smoking areas indicated with signs, including areas on the beach.
The law also banned the sale of vaping devices in Mexico, and it is prohibited to bring them into the country.
At the resorts, smoking has always been prohibited in rooms, suites and villas and as of April 1, 2023 by law, it is no longer permitted to smoke on the villa terraces or anywhere on resort premises except for in designated smoking areas, the locations of which are available at the Front Desk.
If you would like to smoke during your stay, ask at the Front Desk for the list of designated smoking areas at your resort.
