“It is extremely important to us that we continue to make moves to create an environmentally friendly resort, as keeping the beautiful and exotic environment of Exuma as pure as possible is one of our top priorities,” said Lester Scott, Managing Director of Grand Isle Resort & Spa. “By ridding Grand Isle Resort of single-use plastic, we are taking that next step in preserving of our islands’ natural environment and wildlife.”
As part of the newly-instated Do No Harm Policy, plastic straws have been fully-eliminated from the property and signage will be posted to encourage guests to reuse towels during their stay. In addition, resort staff participate in periodic beach clean-ups, not just on Emerald Bay Beach, but on neighboring beaches as well.
In addition, Grand Isle Resort works closely with Exuma Pride, an organization that dedicates itself to creating a visible impact on keeping the island clean, maintained and sustainable.
