It’s part of our nature, to conserve. Our bathrooms have eco-friendly dual flush toilets to save water. While our Energy Saving switch in the guest room for light and A/C regulating system. Our guest rooms achieve 3.5% daylight factor and LED lighting throughout the hotel allow for more environmentally friendly use of electricity.
We aim to educate and inspire our guests, associates and the community at large in regards to the environment. We have our very own Green Team to exercise the best practices in sustainability and ensure consistent training and communication within the hotel, while our quarterly green activites involve our guests and the community at large.
If taking care of the environment and being more involved in the community are some of your personal priorities, then join us on the park to help make our world a cleaner place and protect our local wildlife!
We installed Soilless Farming via Aquaponics satellite farms specially designed by PWD Smart Farmability in July 2023.
How an Aquaponics System Works?
Plants are cultivated in the grow tower, while fish are kept in the fish tank in Aquaponics. The ammonia-containing water from the fish tank is fed to the grow tower, where billions of naturally occurring helpful bacteria break it down into nitrites and ultimately nitrates.
We requested for local Bee Relocate Service to find a suitable bee farm to keep them in Nov 2023
What can we do to save the bees?
Call the beekeeper or Bomba (fireman) to burn and kill the bee. Every effort you save a hive of bees is an effort saving human being. We save every bees on this planet to help preserve the environment.
Bees play an important role in the planetary ecosystem. If without bees, human said to be live for 4 years. Because bees help to pollinate fruits and vegetables on this planet.
