Nestled in the heart of Cebu, AppleOne Properties stands as a beacon of excellence in the realm of real estate, offering commodities and amenities of unparalleled quality.
Yet, what truly sets them apart is their unwavering dedication to environmental sustainability, woven seamlessly into the fabric of their vision.
At the forefront of their sustainable endeavors are two prized properties in the developer’s hospitality division — the Diamond Suites and Residences (DSR) and Club Serena Resort.
Diamond Suites and Residences
Diamond Suites and Residences, a contemporary three-star hotel amidst the vibrant city of Cebu, has become a shining example of sustainable practices.
Aiming to minimize paper waste, the establishment has embraced the digitization of its offices, cutting down on unnecessary printing.
Moreover, energy-efficient LED lights now illuminate the premises, reducing electricity consumption and its ecological footprint.
Committed to promoting eco-friendly dining experiences, the hotel employs reusable and biodegradable food containers, ensuring that their delectable offerings leave behind minimal waste.
They even take the extra step of serving water in half-filled glasses, avoiding unnecessary water wastage.
Ingeniously, the staff at Diamond Suites and Residences found innovative ways to repurpose waste. Fruit peelings are given a second life as brining agents, while used oil finds purpose through proper disposal.
Even food leftovers are thoughtfully repacked, ensuring that not a single morsel goes to waste. Such meticulous attention extends to their food purchases, where precise calculations are made to minimize excess and maximize sustainability.
The hotel rooms themselves are not exempt from their green initiatives.
Instead of using single-serving plastic shampoo sachets, guests are treated to bath gel dispensers, and drinking water is presented in glass bottles.
Informative materials on eco-friendly practices adorn the rooms, encouraging guests to partake in their commitment to sustainability.
Club Serena Resort Moalboal
Heading southwest to the picturesque Moalboal in Cebu, we find Club Serena Resort, a coastal haven nestled amidst thriving marine life.
Here, too, sustainable practices thrive harmoniously with the tranquil environment.
Club Serena Resort takes full advantage of natural ventilation, fostering good airflow in public areas such as the lobby and restaurant.
The result is a reduction in electricity consumption and a gentle caress of fresh air that enhances the guest experience.
In its endeavor to cut down on waste, the resort exclusively employs reusable utensils and serves food items in glass or ceramic containers, foregoing single-serving packaging.
Even the choice of transportation showcases their eco-consciousness, with pedicabs gracefully replacing gas-guzzling golf carts or buggies.
Ingenious light sensors grace the resort’s premises, gracefully illuminating spaces only when needed, thus conserving electricity. The resort operates with efficiency, diligently considering occupancy levels to manage facilities and staff, minimizing unnecessary travel and energy consumption.
A testament to their commitment, Club Serena Resort diligently operates a manual sewage treatment plant (STP).
Waste materials are collected and responsibly processed off-site, ensuring that the natural beauty surrounding the resort remains pristine.
Through the amalgamation of sustainable practices at Diamond Suites and Residences and Club Serena Resort, AppleOne Properties emerges as a trailblazer in eco-friendly initiatives.
Their unwavering dedication to sustainability not only sets a commendable example for the real estate industry but also leaves a lasting positive impact on the environment they hold dear.
As their properties stand as living testaments to their commitment, AppleOne Properties proves that embracing sustainability is not only commendable but also essential in shaping a greener future for generations to come. S
