Sustainability

Cariblue Jungle & Beach Resort is immersed in more than 20,000 m² of tropical jungle, home to an incredible diversity of wildlife.

We live in harmony with nature and work every day to protect it by implementing actions that reduce our environmental impact and promote respect for the surrounding flora and fauna.

Our commitment is simple: to care for this paradise and share it responsibly with everyone who visits us.

How We Care for Our Environment

Cleaning:
We reduce 168 gallons of plastic containers per month by working with suppliers who use returnable or biodegradable packaging.

Drinking Water:
We installed a purified water station so guests can refill their bottles, eliminating the use of over 180 plastic bottles each month.

Amenities:
We replaced more than 4,200 small plastic bottles with refillable dispensers containing biodegradable products.

Waste Management:
We recycle and sort all waste generated at the resort to ensure proper disposal.

Restaurant:
We use fresh, local, and responsibly sourced ingredients to offer healthy and sustainable meals.

Pool Towels:
We chose microfiber towels, which reduce water and energy consumption by drying faster and requiring fewer washes.

Projects & Initiatives We Support: Together for a Better Planet

At Cariblue, we take part in various local and global initiatives that promote conservation, environmental education, and the well-being of our community.
We believe change begins when we work together.

Cariblue Jungle and Beach Resort is highly committed to maintaining a balanced environment with the ecosystem where the efforts of our strategies, collaborators and guests blend together.

We urge our guests to be part of this change and leave their positive footprint with the following recommendations:

1. Take care of the space and the objects in the hotel, the objective is to extend their useful life in order to reduce the demand for natural resources to manufacture new objects.
2. Choose products with reusable packaging or no packaging to reduce the amount of waste produced.
3. Refill water in reusable bottles at our station to reduce disposable plastic bottles.
4. Select and set aside non-organic waste in the correct containers to facilitate management and recycling.
5. Buy souvenirs and gifts from the small local handicraft stores, which are made in and around Puerto Viejo.
6. Respect the marked trails, do not feed wild animals, do not leave garbage and hopefully bring the garbage you find when you go for a walk and visit the attractions of the area.
