Making a Difference

We welcome and strictly adhere to the guidelines issued by the Costa Rican Tourism Institute's Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST) program and the Rainforest Alliance's verification program. Both ratings have been awarded thanks to the efforts and dedication of staff and the fact that Arenal Volcano Inn was designed and built to offer pleasant hospitality service with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

Some of our efforts to be sustainable include:

• Energy saving program in the rooms:

  The hotel has an energy saving system in the rooms whereby guests insert a card in a slot in the door and this serves as a switch for the electrical system; when the card is removed, everything is turned off to save energy. We also use solar panels to heat water in the rooms, which helps lower energy costs.

• Recycling:

  Our recycling system goes hand in hand with the local La Fortuna Recycling program. The hotel has a materials collection center where wastes from the rooms and common areas are sorted, and a truck comes every week to take them to the regional center.

• Collaboration with La Fortuna sustainability programs:

  The hotel helps supports environmental activities and is a member of the community’s Blue Flag committee, the sub-committee on security and the environment, and is also pursuing a blue flag rating for the hotel in the category “Actions to Address Climate Change” by means of mitigation. We also make donations to different causes.
