A sea aquarium has been created offshore in an artificial reef where hundreds of fish now live. Amaryllis provides food for these fish.
Extensive tropical gardens now cover the entire centre of the property, with trees and plants labeled for the convenience of the guests.
Amaryllis is a member of the Green Hotels Association of the United States as well as the Caribbean Alliance for Sustainable Tourism (CAST). Amaryllis is Green Globe 21 Certified. View our Green Globe Certificate of Registration.
The Green Globe 21 programme is designed to make the participating hotels truly friends of the environment and the community in which we live. Beside the reduction and/or elimination of wastage and garbage, it also addresses the health and safety issues that confront our staff, guests and community. Our concerns and commitments are summed up in our Environmental Mission Statement below:
Palm Beach Hotel Group resolves to continually review our operations and policies to ensure that we maintain optimal efficiency. We are committed to ensuring that all our practices are beneficial to the local environment and community. We will abide by all laws and regulations that have been established by our government. We will practice the efficient utilization of our resources and we will continually educate staff and guests on the need to protect the earth that we occupy.
The beach at Amaryllis Beach Resort is one of the most important turtle nesting sites for the endangered Hawksbill species. We have repositioned our lights and changed to yellow ‘turtle-friendly' lighting outside our beachfront restaurants. Guests are free to watch the turtles nesting or hatching. Please do not disturb them or take pictures using flash. If you are the only one on the beach when there is nesting or hatching please inform Reception immediately. They will call the Mc Gill University/University of The West Indies teams so that the turtles can be monitored.
Did you know that only one turtle in hundreds that hatch will survive to adulthood? Did you know that one a turtle hatches on the beach of the resort that she will come back to this each to lay her eggs when she reaches adulthood?
We care about our environment and we are working to preserve it.” |
