Please explain, if applicable, the carbon offsetting options you offer to corporations.

We have a mangrove planting nursery onsite where staff and guests plant in everyweek. This is then transplanted along the coast to combat coastal erosion but is also great for carbon offsetting.

Has your hotel taken steps to reduce single-use plastics, such as removing plastic straws (except upon request for guests with disabilities), stirrers and cotton buds? If yes, please provide detail as to the steps you have taken to reduce single use plastics?

We offer paper straws to our guests if they request straws. We use recycable containers for takeaways and excursions as well as wooden takeaway cutlery. We only use paper bags that can be broken down and used for mulch in our compost bins for our vegetable gardens.

Does your hotel generate (onsite) or purchase (offsite) renewable energy (beyond your utility's standard offerings)? If yes, please describe your practices for generating or purchasing renewable energy.

No

Does your hotel engage in activities to protect & restore the natural environment in which it is located (i.e. trees planted, coral reef restored, etc.)?

Yes

What measures are in place to allow for social distancing in fitness centers (e.g. equipment configuration, staggered usage times)? If no fitness center, please put N/A.

We don't usually have a lot of guests that use the gym because we have other activities available for a workout. We have a 6km beach, yoga classes, hikes and complimentary bikes for bike rides. We rarely have more than 3 people using the gym at the same time.

Has the fitness room cleaning routine been adjusted/increased? If yes, what new measures are included? If no fitness center, please put N/A.

Yes, more regular cleaning and sanitisation throughout the day

Will your hotel be imposing any additional fees for cleaning services? If yes, please specify those fees.

No

Are specific cleaning/disinfection routines in place for pillows, duvets and their covers, headboard, bathrobe etc.? If yes, please describe.

Yes, that is all disinfected once the guests check out. We typically have guests staying 3-7 nights so every 3 days unless specified by guest.

Does the property limit number of guests in restaurant, bar, or dining areas due to COVID19 or other pandemics? If yes, please provide details of how restaurant, bar, or dining areas limits capacity? If no restaurant or bar, please put N/A.

We have one restaurant so we have different dining times. This gives the team time to sanitise all tables before resetting for the next guest.

Has the public bathroom cleaning routine been adjusted/increased? If yes, what new measures are included?

Regular cleaning throughout the day as well as full sanitisation of frequently touched area

Please include a link to your public report on community impact if applicable.
