Is there anything that you would like to highlight, add or clarify?
For the last 6 years we have not been selling plastic bottles of water. All our guests receive a beautiful stainless steel bottle that can be filled up with mineral water as many times as they like during their stay, free of charge.

Also sparkling water we produce ourselves in our restaurante, served in glasses, eliminating un-necessary plastic bottle waste.

We also have solar heated showers in all rooms.

All the coconuts we sell, are crushed into fibers, and turnes into great fertilizer for the garden.

We clean the beach every day for plastic waste, which is separted.

We collect rain water to fill up the pool.
