In the past we installed solar panels, implemented filtered water taps in all our rooms, replaced plastic key cards by bamboo ones and included charitable initiatives to give back to the Gozo community. We will continue the path of limiting the hotel’s consumption of natural resources and protect our little island in the Mediterranean.”
