Read on to learn why Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort is the perfect beach retreat for the environmentally conscious vacationer.

Amsterdam Manor’s eco-friendly efforts include:

• Electricity consumption:
  • Heat is captured from ACs and used to heat up the shower water.
  • Roofs and windows are insulated to reduce the need for cooling.
  • Thermal panels also pre-heat the shower water. The whole solar boiler system has led to a decrease of 40% in electricity consumption.
  • 100% of the lights are LEDs.
• Water consumption:
  • Low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets are in place.
  • The wastewater produced by the laundry is reused for irrigation.
  • Towel-reuse program where guests can decide if they want to save water by reusing their towels and linens.
  • The pool is saltwater, so chlorine free.

• Waste production:
  • Construction waste is recycled.
  • Glass, plastic, paper/cardboard, and metal are separately disposed of and collected. These are processed by third-party companies.
  • Food waste is collected and donated to a pig farmer.
  • All utensils are made of biodegradable products.
  • Monthly beach clean ups.

• Eco-friendly:

Amsterdam Manor only uses eco-friendly cleaning products, so no harsh chemicals.
