MIAMI, USA: The Three Rivers Eco Lodge in Dominica has been awarded the American Express and Caribbean Hotel Association 2005 Caribbean Green Hotel Award in the small hotel category, becoming the first on the Island to achieve such status for any small hotel category.
The award is based on performance in environmental management and stewardship, infrastructure, awareness, conservation and health and safety, which are part of the Caribbean hospitality industry’s thrust to sensitize hotels in the region to foster a way to integrate better social and environmental practices into day to day business decisions, with the objective of achieving ‘the tropical paradise’.
Selection of Three Rivers Eco Lodge was made at the just concluded Caribbean Hotel Industry Conference held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Miami and attended by delegates from thirty six member countries.
Three Rivers Eco Lodge is set in a lush rainforest valley, surrounded by pristine rivers and comprises secluded self-contained cottages, isolated natural forest cabins, natural pools and rainforest, waterfalls and lakes.
There is accommodation to suit all levels of comfort and all size budgets. The self-contained wooden cottages are set in in large, secluded, organic gardens with fruit trees, vegetables and flowers. Each cottage contains a double bed, kitchenette, shower/toilet, living area and a balcony with hammock. Children’s folding beds are available free of charge.
The latest addition to the various types of accommodation are a Carib Indian Jungle Cabin and a Bamboo Tree House, nestled in the heart of the rainforest in the mountains at the back of Three Rivers.
The award will give a boost to Dominica, recognized as the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, being unspoiled for thousands of years and boasting spectacular tropical scenery of beaches, forests, mountains, lakes and waterfalls.
The Commonwealth of Dominica is the first country in the world to be officially benchmarked by Green Globe 21 as an eco tourist destination.
