Staff Development

We contribute directly to the Oaxacan economy by running a profitable business that creates jobs, income and professional development opportunities for our local employees. We make sure they get a decent salary with good fringe benefits, like a daily healthy meal and English classes. We encourage and support our team to develop professionally by providing them opportunities to learn and to grow. 

We buy locally

Buying Locally

As often as possible we purchase our products from small local vendors and retailers and integrate fresh, local, seasonal ingredients in the food we prepare. In this way we also support the local economy.
Water and energy conservation

Saving Water & Energy

We have several water and energy saving equipments installed, such as low-flow faucets, shower heads and toilets - don’t worry about the water pressure, we guarantee you won’t notice! An onsite wastewater system processes our gray waters and sends them clean to the municipal sewer. Solar heaters warm up your shower water and of course we manage a towel and bed linen reuse program. And last but not least: we use LED lights throughout the hotel!

Recycling and waste reduction

Recycling & composting

Reducing waste is so easy! We compost organic waste (and thus produce our own garden fertilizer) and separate other waste that is then sent to a recycling station. We minimize our use of plastic and have a zero food waste and save paper policy.

Cleaning and bath products

Biodegradable products

The soap and shampoo in your hotel room is 100% natural and biodegradable. It is made by a cooperative of 15 families in the small village of Mazunte on Oaxaca’s coast. We’re a big fan of their products (that’s why we also sell them in our shop)! We also use biodegradable cleaning products free of preservatives and artificial ingredients.
