Conservation

Iberostar Quetzal is located just south of Playa del Carmen, in a secluded area boasting far less tourist development than the city itself. This property is Earth Check certified, protecting its own small section of tropical rainforest and sandy beach. And, the resort's operations reflect a strong dedication to preserving the natural world around it. Iberostar's Wave of Change programme is a planned and carefully staged effort with attainable goals, including a chain-wide ban on single-use plastics in 2020 and future plans including a switch to 100% sustainably sourced seafood, waste-free operations, and a carbon-neutral footprint. Iberostar also funds citizen science programmes, including coral reef restoration and awards grants and scholarships to worthy environmental causes throughout the regions it serves.
