  • Making a difference:

    Hotel Casa Naranja makes a difference by:

    Saving energy:

  • 95% of our light bulbs are energy-efficient.

  • Our air conditioning system is more efficient than traditional models.

  • Insulation in the ceilings reduces the heat in the rooms which lowers the cost of electricity from the use of air conditioners.

  • Skylights in the hallways reduce the need for lights.
  • Saving water:

  • Some of our toilets are water-efficient.

  • Guests are encouraged to re-use towels and sheets.
  • Other:
    A staff member in the hotel’s operations department ensures that the hotel practices are environmentally-friendly by separating the garbage - paper is donated to a recycling center and glass and metal are collected for re-use – and ensuring that oils and soaps are properly disposed of so as not to pollute the waterways.

    We protect the natural areas around the hotel and encourage our guests to visit the country’s protected areas and reserves.

    The hotel owners are reforesting a 50 acre (20 ha.) farm in the San Juan River area with about 100 different species of trees.
