On March 28 at 8:30 p.m. (local time), Royal Resorts participated in Earth Hour, the global campaign organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature or World Wildlife Fund) to draw attention to the catastrophic effects of climate change and the urgent need to protect the one thing that unites us all, the Planet.
Non-essential lights were turned off around the resorts and members and guests were invited to join in by dimming the lights in their villas and attending special Earth Hour activities such as candlelit beach ceremonies and cookouts.
At The Royal Haciendas members, guests and staff gathered on the beach to see the Earth Hour 60+ motif, which was formed by balloons illuminated with neon lights.
Staff represented the four elements: Earth, Wind, Water and Fire in a moment of reaffirmation of our bonds to each one of them.
A special Earth Hour a la carte menu was available for dinner from 6 p.m. with live music from 7 p.m. When the lights were turned off at 8:30 p.m. there was time for a moment of quiet reflection on what each one of us can to do protect the planet and fight climate change followed by a water drum and neon light display.
Commemorative t-shirts were on sale during the day with all proceeds going to the Royal Resorts Foundation community and conservation causes.
Grand Residences also participated in Earth Hour with its own program of activities.
