The hotel is surrounded by natural landscapes and wildlife and you can enjoy many sustainable activities.

Thanks to our sea turtle protection program and respect for the endemic wildlife of our area, we have raised awareness in our visitors and partners. We also raise awareness and promote conservation through our extensive gardens.

Our environmental administration system and responsible tourism policy stimulate community development through procedures to buy products from local farmers and services from local tourism businesses. The goal is to develop and strengthen our community and form a mutual commitment to developing a sustainable environment.

We are part of the MARTI initiative for coral reef protection. We follow guidelines established by governmental organizations and NGOs that are stewards for the responsible protection of the marine fauna in this majestic coral reef.
