To preserve the beauty of the secluded paradise that surrounds us, we have implemented a long list of sustainable practices, focused on bettering our environmental and social impact. Alongside adopting water conservation practices and providing monthly beach clean-up projects for our staff and guests, we also invite our guests to give back to the local school and to the environment with our Plant-a-Tree program.
Casa Chameleon Hotels, in partnership with Kind Traveler’s Every Stay Gives Back certification, supports Abriendo Mentes in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
Abriendo Mentes empowers children and adults through innovative education and community development programs in rural and underserved communities in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
A nominal nightly charge of $3.00 will be added to each guest’s folio and will go to Abriendo Mentes. Casa Chameleon Hotels also donates to this community impact fund.
We are passionate about cutting down on the use of plastic at our hotels. Casa Chameleon Hotels in Costa Rica does all of the below as well as looking for new ways to increase our sustainable practices.
We use bamboo straws instead of plastic straws.
In the rooms and restaurant, we use glass bottles instead of plastic bottles.
We use cardboard to-go boxes at the restaurant instead of plastic or styrofoam.
In the rooms, we don’t use plastic dispensers for soap, body wash and conditioner. Instead, we refill locally handmade clay dispensers.
We don’t use soap bars in the rooms since they come packaged in plastic and have to be disposed of after every guest.
The laundry bag in the room is crafted from a durable fabric instead of plastic and is reused.
In rooms, we provide pencils instead of pens in order to reduce plastic consumption.
In the minibar, most of our products are packaged in aluminum or glass instead of plastic.
In the kitchen, we use reusable glass tupperware to store our mise en place.
We have a strong recycling program internally in which we recycle all the plastic, glass and aluminium used by the hotel. This waste is collected weekly by the local government to take to the recycling center.
“So much of the ‘pura vida’ experience anywhere in Costa Rica is because of the environment. It’s important to us that we proactively work to preserve it.”
