Biodegradable products are used to help treat sewage
The laundry detergent and disinfectants are biodegradable, and other non-toxic cleaning agents are used whenever possible

Other hotel donations are made to indigenous, impoverished, and women's groups, as well as to wildlife funds. Various groups have worked with the hotel staff on environment education.
