Overview

A renovated beachfront hotel that says it makes its own cleaning solution on site.

Before you book

  • The hotel says every room has ‘an air purifier or HEPA filter’, but not which model or whether any unit makes ozone, which harms the lungs.1 Ask for the model before you book.
  • Electrolyzed-water systems usually produce a dilute hypochlorous solution: low-residue, but still a disinfectant. Ask what is used in bathrooms.
  • The hotel’s sustainability page is undated, so practices may have changed.1
