Sandos Caracol Scores Big

Keeping our environment safe is crucial in the travel industry.

Sandos Hotels & Resorts knows the importance of this, which is why it continues to set the example for eco-tourism. Sandos has a strong commitment to the environment and sustainability at their resorts.

Earlier this year, Sandos Caracol received its highest score ever on the Rainforest Alliance certification.

A score of 97.27 percent was given to the resort thanks to its sustainable practices, a variety of environmental programs and extensive initiatives that positively impact the environment and the local community.

Sandos employees, suppliers and guests all had a hand in making this high score possible.

“We work with a responsible waste management program, from the place where they are generated until they reach our recycling warehouses. We focus 100 percent on applying the 3 R rule, in this order: reduce, reuse and recycle. But we also add two more Rs: reject and repair,” says Guadalupe Barrón, Environmental Coordinator of Sandos Hotels & Resorts.

The Rainforest Alliance certification has strict criteria. These world-class requirements include the protection of nearby ecosystems, the wise use of natural resources, climate change mitigation and Benefits to the social and cultural development of surrounding communities.

With multiple programs and sustainable activities, Sandos Caracol delivers a strong presence in eco-tourism. It will continue to do so too with the help of responsible guests.

So, keep those beaches clean this summer and continue to work hard on making the world a better place
