Additionally, a comprehensive recycling initiative is in place, with a special emphasis on glass recycling and battery waste management. The resort aims to keep guests and the local community informed about their environmental efforts and encourages their support. While water consumption reduction remains a priority, higher usage has been necessary recently due to increased cleaning and disinfection protocols required during the Covid19 situation.
