How can I ensure my stay at an eco-resort is genuinely sustainable?

Start by researching the resort's sustainability practices before booking. Look for information about their eco-certifications and community involvement.

• Once you arrive, don't hesitate to ask the staff about their eco-friendly initiatives, such as waste management systems or partnerships with local conservation efforts.

Compare the final price rather than the headline rate. Check taxes, deposits, cancellation terms, renovation work, road access and the real distance to the beach or town. Property information should be treated as general guidance, not legal advice.

Prices, schedules, access rules and operating hours can change, so confirm the current details with the provider or relevant authority before travelling.
