Our Commitment to Sustainability
Green hotel operations and supporting environmental sustainability is one of the main pillars of Palms Hotel & Spa’s mission and values.
Since 2010, our “Inspired by Nature Program” shows our commitment to this cause. It sets the standards and provides the guidelines to make our operation as eco-friendly as possible, to minimize our impact on the environment, and to create awareness of local environmental issues at stake.
Beyond Green
As part of this global portfolio of planet Earth’s most sustainable hotels, The Palms represents sustainability leadership based upon action and impact and is committed to building a better and brighter future for people and the planet. True inspiration in travel and an array of experiences that inspire personal renewal, wellness and learning wrapped together with a deep commitment to sustainable tourism best practices.
Nature Everywhere
The splendid nature surrounding our resort inspires everything we do here at The Palms Hotel. It is our commitment to preserve and maintain this showcase of tropical wonders featuring plants, flowers and shrubs that not only beautify our grounds but also support local wildlife and promote a healthy ecosystem. From vibrant birds of paradise to the majestic palms that sway in the ocean breeze, our landscape reflects our dedication to nature and the environment. Learn more about the variety of plants that thrive on our property.
100% Disposable Plastic Free
It is our goal to operate with no single-use plastics. So far, we have implemented aluminum water bottles in guest & meeting rooms as well as re-usable acrylic glasses at the pool and bioplastics at the beach, wood cutlery for take away and at the pool & beach, eco-friendly take-away containers at the restaurant, and agave straws throughout the property. We have also implemented refillable, BeeKind® in-room guest toiletries as well as offering cloth in-room dry-cleaning bags.
Conserving
Natural Resources
It’s part of our nature, to tread lightly. Our bathrooms have low-flow showers and sinks, and eco-friendly toilets save water. While our clever Mode Green guest room light and A/C regulating system, the quick-dry bathrobes as well as UV guest-room windows and LED lighting throughout the hotel allow for more environmentally friendly use of electricity.
Raising Awareness For
Our Environment
We aim to educate and inspire our guests, associates and the community at large in regards to the environment. We have our very own Green Team to exercise the best practices in sustainability and ensure consistent training and communication within the hotel, while our quarterly beach cleanups involve our guests and the community at large.
Making Your Stay A Green One
We believe in the butterfly effect, the idea that the flutter of a butterfly wing can create a typhoon on the other side of the world. And thus, it’s up to each and every one of us to make small changes which in the long-run can have a huge impact on the environment as a whole. Wonder how you can make a difference?
