OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

​

• We built the Harmony hotel using sustainable materials such as dead wood harvested by Mayan communities, and  rock that we took from our own land. The perimeter fence is  made out of rammed earth, and even though some of our walls are made out of construction block, we used a Mayan technique made out of Sascab and sand to coat them.

• All our beds and most of the furniture is made out of recycled pallets.

• We applied bio climatic principles when building and orienting the house in a way to get the most sea breeze and northern winds possible in order to keep the rooms cooler and reduce the use of AC.

• All our waste water (grey and black water) is treated through a bio digester that allows us to reuse the water for underground irrigation of our ornamental plants.

• Additionally, we capture rainwater that is used in the garden.

• We didn’t disturb or cut any mature tree in the building process. We also have many nitrogen fixing trees on site such as Salam, in order to help fertilize the soil naturally.

• All our plants and garden are fertilized naturally by the use of worm castings and compost made at the Green Beat farm.

• When needed, we fumigate with natural pesticides that don’t harm plants or the eco system.

• Our garden has only native local plants.

• We only use 100% natural and biodegradable soaps and shampoos in the Hotel.

• We reduce, reuse, and recycle the most we can. We ask you kindly not to bring any plastic bags onto the property and to please use your towels more than once before sending them out to get washed.
