Sandos Playacar, Sandos Cancun, and Sandos Caracol have taken big strides towards the preservation of our local communities and the environment. Each of our hotels are Rainforest Alliance Certified, in recognition of our sustainable business practices. We are continually searching for new ways to do even better.
The Sandos hotels have set up multiple initiatives and programs, and we involve guests as much as possible. Some of the hands-on, eco-friendly practices at Sandos include:
- Sea turtle conservation programs: protection of nests and baby sea turtle releases
- Protection and repopulation programs for rescued deer and macaws
- A center for rescued animals
- The creation of the Sandos Foundation, an organization dedicated to forming programs that benefit employees, the community, and the environment
- Recycling programs, responsible waste management and reduction, and a wastewater treatment plant whose water is used on the resorts’ gardens
- “Say No to Straws” campaign to help reduce the amount of plastic on beaches and in the oceans
- Beach clean-up programs with Sandos Foundation volunteers and guests
- Recommendations for sustainable practices for guests during their stay and back home, such as the responsible use of energy, towel reusage, and a “don’t feed the wildlife” policy
- Support to local indigenous communities who sell their handicrafts at Sandos resorts
Sandos Playacar, Sandos Cancun, and Sandos Caracol are and continue to be dedicated to making a true difference in the world all while providing unbeatable service to their guests!
