Eco-chic means more than a sound laundry policy at Let’s Sea® Hua Hin Al Fresco Resort believes that holidaymakers never take a break from their concerns about global warming and the environment. The resort is therefore committed to being as ‘green’ as possible and stresses the need to think beyond minimizing daily laundering of towels.Management is leading the way by working onsite and remotely as opposed to maintaining a Bangkok head office for occasional use. ‘Green’ issues and education are also raised with staff who are then asked to practice what they learn at home.
True to al fresco theme Let’s Sea® Hua Hin Al Fresco Resort makes it all possible (even an outdoor gym) with clever, energy saving design. The architecture takes advantage of the natural light and maximizes the air flow throughout the property. Double brick walls with no share walls between neighbors keep guest rooms cool. Landscaping also plays a vital role with tropical planting along walkways, between units and grass on rooftops. Where air conditioners are in use strict maintenance schedules ensure their efficiency.
Food is as fresh as possible, not merely to savour exotic flavours but also to reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and freezing. The policy also limits waste as the resort buys what it needs when it needs it.
Waste management is critical throughout the property. Water bottles and in-room toiletries are non-branded to avoid superfluous packaging. After all Let’s Sea® is in the hospitality business not beverages. Instead you’ll find stylish ceramic toiletry holders that are continuously and hygienically refilled with naturally scented products. Newspapers are placed in the restaurant to facilitate communal use and a paper recycling policy is in place throughout the property.
Transportation has also been a key consideration for the resort’s ‘green’ policy. Staff are encouraged to use company transfers to reduce individual vehicle emissions and a shuttle service is recommended to guests in place of individual taxis.
Let’s Sea® Hua Hin Al Fresco Resort is also setting standards for its suppliers preferring to partner the more eco-friendly businesses. Eco-chic is more than what you see at Let’s Sea® Hua Hin Al Fresco Resort.
