THE EXTRAORDINARY
Thanks to its garden, «Pat's Organic Garden», the hotel benefits from its own organic fruit and vegetables, as well as a wide variety of herbs and aromatic plants, a real asset that gives the local cuisine incomparable flavours. Seafood, artisanal bread, fresh cheeses, homemade jams... All these dishes are prepared on-site or in the surrounding area... It is the art of eating well in all simplicity.
ETHICS
Casa Bonita was built entirely from local materials such as palm wood, coral stone and thatched roofs, significantly reducing the cost and environmental impact of processing and transport. The hotel uses a hydroelectric generator to minimise its carbon footprint. The organic garden is the main source of produce used by the chef, and the rest of the ingredients are sourced from the region and its surroundings. This philosophy extends to the spa treatments, where 90% of the ingredients are of natural origin.
