Happy new years, We our that couple who enjoy hanging on the beds near the ocean. Can anybody give us a report on how the sargassum is.

We were there a month ago and there was none, best we have seen in a long time.

Last time we were there (Feb ‘20), they had long, black tube barriers situated a couple hundred feet of shore. These ran the entire length of the resort and did an excellent job of keeping the sargassum off the beach. The beach and water conditions were the best we’ve experienced.

Wow, that's an update! (sarcasm, sorry, but the sargassum condidions vary from week to week). My girlfriend and I went to Pearl's beach on Dec 27 and 30 (not stayed at the resort, I own a tiny house in Playa del Carmen and use to go that beach for nude sunbathe). There's no more the black barrier. Dec 27 water conditions were acceptable, but on Dec 30 it was very windy, so lot of grass was on the beach and water looked cloudy (we preferred don't enter into the sea).
It's good to clarify that the sargassum is the endemic of that part of the ocean, and not like last years', which invaded all the Quintana Roo coast.
