Travel Thursday on Empty Streets: Dos Palmas Resort

I have to apologize to my entrecard friends for this week. I have been very busy with my ongoing TESDA Training/Teacher National Certification so I haven't been able to drop by as much. I really miss all of you guys a lot. But I'll make it up to you guys as soon as I get my schedule all ironed out again. So for now I have a resort feature special for all of you - Dos Palmas.

Here is what Dos Palmas Has to offer its visitors :)

A Unique Island Experience
ESCAPE to a 20-hectare private island in the tropical waters of Honda Bay. Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa offers the ideal setting in which to celebrate a great island experience. Our location is isolated enough to transport guests away from the everyday cares of urban living. Yet, we’re fully equipped to provide plenty of opportunities for adventure, fun and relaxation.

Surrounded by nature, yet embraced by the comforts of our modern facilities and accommodations, you are free to find your own adventure. Time is a luxury you can afford on Dos Palmas. Luxuriate in doing nothing. Or indulge in everything you’ve always wanted to do. We’re always on hand to help make your stay most pleasant and memorable.
The Dos Palmas Green Statement
Dos Palmas Island Resort and Spa takes the environment seriously. In our continuing quest to offer our guests a great island experience, we also fully commit ourselves to live harmoniously with our ecosystem. With this strong commitment comes our resolve to constantly find ecologically safe solutions that may one day set environmental standards for the industry.

Our ongoing green initiatives include an ecologically responsible waste management program and sewage treatment facility, a water-conservation and desalination program, and a toxic-material reduction plan that includes de-chlorination of water supply and the use of biodegradable, plant-based detergents and cleaning agents.

Eco Zone
The eastern part of the island has been designated as the Dos Palmas Eco Zone (DPEZ), where all environmental programs and facilities of the resort are situated.

The resort has a comprehensive waste management facility. We’ve set up our own sewage treatment plant, to ensure that resort operations won’t hurt the environment. Treated water is used for watering the grounds and in our toilets; while the sludge from the treatment plant is used as fertilizer for our organic vegetable and herb gardens, and our plant nurseries and greenhouse.

We embarked on a multi-million-peso rehabilitation of our existing water system. To ensure a steady supply of freshwater, rain collection ponds and a desalination plant are underway to reinforce the resort’s freshwater requirements.

These are just some of our initiatives to help promote ecological awareness and pave the way for the peaceful co-existence of man and nature in this last frontier. A part of your package fees is always channeled back to the environment, so you, as our honored guests, can enjoy your stay in good conscience.
