SUSTAINABILITY POLICY:
The hotel is registered in internationally recognized environmental certifications, so we cordially request you to collaborate with turning off electronic devices in disuse and close the faucets that you do not need in order to minimize the impact on the environment. You must select, valorize and recycle any waste object that is discarded inside the apartment, so you must use the corresponding container located at the entrance of each building and common areas, corresponding to each type of solid waste. The hotel is located in the middle of a private property with an ecological vision so there is direct and indirect contact with the climate, flora and fauna of the area, so that the tourist assumes full responsibility for the risks that these elements can generate, therefore, in case of a possible accident or accident, caused by the conditions described above, the hotel is not responsible for damages that may occur.
In Terrazas del Caribe we are committed to the environment, that is why we are against the use of gunpowder or any explosive that generates a negative impact on the physical and emotional well-being of all animals in the area.
With respect to energy saving, we strive to encourage guests to contribute to savings by encouraging them to turn off air conditioners when they are not in use (for this reason they are not turned on when the apartments are delivered), turn off lights when they leave the hotel, among other specific but very useful actions to contribute to savings.
At the same time, we try to implement water saving measures by raising awareness among our guests through signs located in the apartments that give advice on how to conserve the resource and use it responsibly. We also clean every other day, which represents a considerable saving in the use of water and cleaning products. It is important to emphasize that all cleaning products used in the hotel are environmentally friendly and have the required certifications.
Finally, we support responsible driving since the South Caribbean area is immersed in protected forest or wilderness areas that are home to a considerable number of animals, which may suffer accidents due to reckless driving. We also state that the hotel is totally against the illegal hunting or possession of wild animals.
