Hotel Belmar

Costa Rica is known as an eco-friendly travel hub and Hotel Belmar is no exception to this. The property is the first carbon-neutral hotel in Monteverde and, in 2022, achieved climate positive status. Make sure to ask about the hotel’s Offset Your Footprint program, which allows you to help offset environmental impact on the region caused by tourism and other factors.

The resort makes its own environmental efforts as well, with LED lighting and paper drink and food packaging. The property is one of the first in the Turks & Caicos to be Green Globe Certified.
