In this way, each of the common areas transmits to the guests the colors and light of the marine environment that surrounds them, thus reinforcing the link with their surroundings.
Before concluding the visit, they were presented with the Comprehensive Coastal Management Plan, a project that responds to the company's corporate responsibility and sustainability strategy, and which has five programs within which actions are carried out aimed at improving the state of the beaches, achieve better resource management, promote biodiversity conservation, enhance sustainable landscape management, and promote environmental awareness and education.
In addition to the presentation of the Plan, the focus has been on the projects that are being developed in the Samaná area, as well as on the projects pending to start in the short term.
The hotel complex was closed for several months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, time that was used to make a reform in its facilities.
