Playa Cativo Believes Sustainability Starts at Home

Flower 1 (Copy)At Playa Cativo Lodge, our team is dedicated to sustainability and preserving the beauty of the gulf and rainforest for future generations. We invite guests to learn, share ideas and take home some of the practices that we’ve implemented at our Costa Rica eco lodge.

We encourage guests to be responsible and make small changes to help the environment when they return home from Playa Cativo. As Mother Teresa once said, “I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples.”

It’s easy to complain about what others are doing wrong, how they are polluting the world, or how businesses contribute to pollution. Yet, we need to remember that change starts with each one of us. Even with baby steps, we can create ripples that will turn around past careless behavior.

?????????????????????????????????????????It was time to plan our next Costa Rica vacation, and my husband and I had a dilemma. While I was dreaming of a romantic getaway and luxury accommodations, my husband wanted a taste of the tropical rainforest and close encounters with wildlife! We decided to search online for Costa Rica luxury eco lodges with first-class service and authentic wildlife observation. We knew it wouldn’t be an easy task!

Late at night there’s no chance of finding a reliable travel agent for our trip to Costa Rica, so our search started with Google. We were amazed at the different rainforest lodges, options and qualities. Soon we started to focus on eco lodges with sustainable operations.
