Positive impact
Garza Blanca Preserve Resort & Spa advances sustainability through its Zero Plastic Initiative, eliminating single-use plastics and replacing them with refillable glass and BPA-free Tritan bottles. Water dispensers with alkaline filtration reduce waste while MEIKO dishwashers cut water use by up to 70%. The resort also supports the Eagle’s Wings Foundation, which aids vulnerable children and local communities in destinations where Tafer Hotels & Resorts operate, creating lasting positive impact beyond the property itself.
