responsibility

At the Bucuti and Tara Beach Suites & Spa we are dedicated to protect and preserve our environment and are committed to raise awareness within our resort and the community to foster sound environmental practices.

Green Globe Certified since 2000, Bucuti has successfully created a clean, natural setting that energizes and preserves its natural surroundings. The resource conservation program includes the use of water saving devices in toilets, faucets, and pool – and reuse of gray waters for garden and ground irrigation. Meanwhile, electricity is conserved with the use of low wattage light bulbs, air conditioning sensors, and insulated draperies. The hotel has also installed 14 fifty-gallon solar water-heating panels that have considerably reduced gas and electricity consumption. Daily inspections of all rooms and a Rapid Response Program for guestroom complaints ensure effective maintenance.

Bucuti stands behind a strict purchasing policy that commits to the purchase of resource-efficient equipment, reusable and recyclable packaging, and biodegradable and less hazardous products. This purchasing policy extends to the community, with guidelines to protect local labor and source local products and services with minimal environmental impact whenever possible. Bucuti Beach Resort also reaches out to the community through island-wide recycling contests, environmental art competitions, and road and beach cleanups.

Promoting environmental awareness through the education, training, and involvement of the staff, the hotel engages the full support of its team to make good green decisions both on the job and at home. As an incentive, Bucuti’s Best Program recognizes staffers who suggest and implement new environmental practices. This process is overseen by a Green Team that meets regularly to monitor compliance, discuss pending issues and discuss new issues, challenges and opportunities.
