SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM

Secret Hotels are developing, in all its hotels, environmental programs to minimize its environmental footprint. By implementing certified sustainability programs such as “Green Key” we aim to provide high quality services while respecting both the environment and the local communities. Finally, in order to ensure the hygiene and quality of the food we provide to our guests, we pass controls to obtain the HACCP certification.
