Recycled water is used not only for irrigation, but also for the toilet system.
Eco tours are offered by our excursions supplier.
Reusable eco-bags are sold in the boutique and for each bag sold, we donate $1 USD to the local elementary school.
We support the Bahamas Humane Society, a charity that addresses the problem of stray animals and many other concerns.
