For the first time, all five Divi Resorts properties in Aruba have achieved Silver certification for 2014 from Earthcheck, the world’s largest certifier of sustainable travel and tourism operators.
“We are very pleased to have all five Divi Resorts properties in Aruba achieve this certification from Earthcheck, which is a testament to our company’s commitment to environmental responsibility,”said Alex Nieuwmeyer, Managing Director, Divi Resorts Aruba. “We have been working diligently to ensure that our resorts operate in accordance with internationally-accepted standards for sustainability while, at the same time, continuing to optimize our guest experience.”
This year, all five Divi Resorts properties in Aruba officially became silver certified and it is the third year in a row that Divi & Tamarijn Aruba are receiving the silver certification. After five consecutive years of achieving this status, the resorts will qualify for Gold status. In addition to the Divi Aruba All Inclusive and the Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive, the other Divi Resorts properties in Aruba that received certification this year are the Divi Aruba Phoenix Resort, Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort and the Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort.
In order to become Silver certified, the properties were required to meet measurable standards for key environmental indicators such as energy and water consumption, total waste production, community commitment, and others. Having met these standards is the result of hard work and dedication of the properties’ staff and management team.
Located just thirty minutes from the airport and five minutes from Aruba’s capital city, Oranjestad, the Divi & Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive resorts are set on beautiful Druif Beach, with a shopping arcade and the Alhambra Casino nearby. Guests staying at either the AAA 3-Diamond Divi Aruba or the adjacent, oceanfront Tamarijn Aruba (named one of the Best All-Inclusive Island Resorts Ever by the editors of Islands magazine) have use of all facilities and services of both properties. All stays at the Divi & Tamarijn Aruba include all meals and snacks at a choice of nine dining options, unlimited beverages at seven bars, the use of three freshwater pools, a wide range of activities including non-motorized water sports and nightly entertainment. In addition, all guests may use the well-equipped Divi Winds Sports Center, which features a 30-foot outdoor rock climbing wall on the beach. At the Divi Aruba, the chic pool deck has become a central gathering place for guests of both properties to relax. The resorts offer wedding, honeymoon, family and golf packages.
