We provide lunch boxes and refillable bottles for you to take drinks to the beach with you so there is no need to buy products in single use plastic wrapping or bottles. We have also installed pump dispensers of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel to the avoid the use of single use plastics.
Our housekeepers use eco-friendly cleaning products and the new washing machine uses only the minimum amount of water necessary. Our aircon is monitored so that it cannot be accidentally left on when you open the door or go out for the day.
We provide shopping bags and a wheel along crate for you to take to the shops so that you don’t have to buy plastic bags when you go shopping and encourage our guests to sort and recycle rubbish. We provide beach toys, inflatables and a body board for the children so that guests don’t have to buy a new bucket and spade each time they come and avoids having plastic items abandoned on the beach.
