STATEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY & SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

At Sentido Pearl Hotels (Sentido Pearl Beach & Sentido Aegean Pearl), we are aware of the ramifications and implications of our operation on the local environment, people and culture.

We have successfully developed and applied initiatives for the reduction of the negative consequences of our operation and we are continuously improving our positive contribution to the destination where our hotels operate.

Our commitment has been recognized and we are proud to have received the gold TRAVELIFE awards as a result of the operation of both our hotels.

From recycling to correct resource management, many steps have been made in order to reduce any possible negative effect of our services and hotels’ operation on the environment.

  • Installations of saving water and energy consumption
  • Low consumption light bulbs
  • Solar panels’ replacement by new generation solar panels
  • New generation, low energy consumption refridgerators
