The Villa Group has been awarded the TripAdvisor’s GreenLeaders Program accolade in Cabo San Lucas for its Villa del Palmar Cabo and Villa del Arco resorts. This award is issued to celebrate the Villa Group’s outstanding eco-friendly contributions at these resorts.

TripAdvisor’s GreenLeaders Program in Cabo

The TripAdvisor’s GreenLeaders Program is relatively new and it recognizes resorts and hotels worldwide for their ecofriendly and green efforts, so when you travel you can choose resorts that take their impact on the environment seriously. While all of Villa Group’s resorts located in the Mexican destinations of Riviera Nayarit, Loreto, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta are all taking eco-friendly measures, the Villa Group’s resorts located in Cabo San Lucas have set the standard, having received the TripAdvisor GreenLeaders award.

Silver TripAdvisor GreenLeaders award

The silver badge level was awarded to Villa del Arco Cabo San Lucas and Villa del Palmar Cabo, which recognizes that these two Villa Group resorts have met the requirements for being a Green Partner. TripAdvisor’s GreenLeaders Team evaluated the activities at these resorts and found them worthy of the silver badge. The resorts were ranked based upon their environmental impact and compared with other resorts.

The Villa Group’s Eco-Friendly Efforts in Cabo

The two resorts in Cabo San Lucas owned and operated by the Villa Group ranked high because of the energy saving practices they have introduced. Some of the initiatives introduced were as follows:

– Energy efficient appliances in each suite
– A preventative maintenance plan, so all the buildings are heated and cooled with energy saving methods
– 75% of the resort uses energy efficient light bulbs
– Eco-friendly education programs for guests and the staff, so everyone can learn about good green practices
– Guests are invited to reuse of linens and towels to cut down on water and energy usage.
– Recycling programs

TripAdvisor works with other organizations to ensure the success of the program, which include the United Nations Environment Program, US Green Building Council’s LEED Certification Program, and the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star Program. These environmental experts will rank the resorts and only the best and qualified resorts will receive the award.

The benefits of Villa Preferred Access are easy to distinguish for both existing timeshare owners and new buyers of timeshare at any of the Villa del Palmar resorts in Mexico. Villa Preferred Access is a timeshare points scheme that facilitates timeshare membership benefits at Villa del Palmar resorts in Mexico. Villa Preferred Access is a program introduced by The Villa Group, who are the developers and operators of the Villa del Palmar brand, which can be used in any of its affiliated resorts as well as used for exchanges with international vacation clubs such as Interval International.

What are the Benefits of Villa Preferred Access?

If you are new to timeshare, then you probably have the idea that timeshare ownership is divided into week blocks. In many cases, this is still true, particularly of older timeshare contracts, but in today’s fast paced world where flexibility is key, the benefit of Villa Preferred Access is that the scheme allows you to stay for as little as two nights and as long as your membership points allow. The limitations of fixed week timeshare intervals disappears and you can stay for the exact number of nights that you choose.

Other benefits of Villa Preferred Access include the flexibility of room choices. When you purchase a certain level of points with Villa Preferred Access, you can start to “mix and match” what you want each time you arrive to a Villa del Palmar resorts. For example, you may have bought Villa Preferred Access membership points that entitle you to two weeks in a one bedroom suite. Those points can then be used exactly how you wish. You could stay a shorter length of time in a timeshare two bedroom suite or a longer time in a studio, or even use some of your timeshare points to pay for an all inclusive meal plan and stay for a shorter length of time. One of the main benefits of Villa Preferred Access is that you can tailor your vacations to your needs every time using your exclusive Villa del Palmar timeshare membership.
