ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL POLICIES
At Velas Resorts, we strive to promote and incorporate environmental responsibility in all of our operations.
We are committed to safeguarding our natural surroundings and minimizing any environmental impact we may generate, through the implementation, operation and constant evaluation of our environmental management system:
We will follow the beautiful stone paths that guide us to the forest clearing, offering the chance to observe birds and ther animals in their natural habitat. If you decide to explore the area on your own, we ask that you remain on the trails at all times; please do not enter the forest or mangroves. For more information about guided tours, please contact your Concierge.
CONTACT WITH ANIMALS WITHIN
THE FACILITIES
Although the chances of encountering a wild animal in your suite are extremely remote, we recommend following these steps if you do: remain calm, exit your suite, close the door and inform your Concierge, who will ensure the animal is returned to its natural environment.
Despite our efforts to control the presence of insects, we recommend closing your and entry doors after 4:00 p.m. to prevent them from entering. For your convenience, you will also find eco-friendly insect repellent in your suite closet. If you require additional products, please contactyour Concierge.
WILDLIFE
CONTACT WITH ANIMALS IN
THEIR NATURAL HABITAT
Our facilities are surrounded by magnificent jungle and natural mangroves, which house a
grand variety of flora and fauna. It is of utmost importance to us to respect these ecological treasures and preserve them for generations to come. Certain actions can affect the balance and development of species, which is why we kindly ask for your cooperation in the following:
Please do not feed any animals you encounter on the premises. Their diet is entirely different ours, and human food can particularly harm pregnant or nursing females, as their milk (vital to proper development of their young) changes in nutritional value. In addition to protecting them, avoiding feeding the animals helps prevents them from having an involuntary reaction or exhibiting hostility due to stress.
OBSERVATION OF ANIMALS
We invite all nature lovers to join our guided tour, where you can discover and explore the
flora and fauna surrounding the Zen Grand ambiance.
SECURITY
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
All precautions have been taken to provide you with a safe environment to enjoy free of risk.
The resort has the latest technology, security, and emergency systems. Emergency procedures are located inside the main entrance door of each suite.
Smoke detectors, fire suppression systems, and emergency communication systems are found throughout the resort. If the alarm sounds, elevators will immediately descend to the lobby area until the alarm is deactivated. In an emergency, guests will be notified of the alarm state via the emergency communication system.
Moving quickly and listening to and/ or reading instructions is necessary during an evacuation or emergency. If this presents an issue for you, please inform us immediately upon arrival so we may take appropriate action to assist you in an emergency. If you have any questions, please contact your Concierge.
We recommend taking a few minutes to review this information:
FIRE
If you discover a fire, please close the nearest doors to prevent it from spreading. Dial 0 immediately to report the emergency, or activate the nearest fire alarm by pulling down the red emergency lever. When leaving your suite, always carry your key with you. Elevators are not to be used as emergency exits for any reason
EVACUATION
If you receive the order to evacuate your suite, take your key. Be sure that the handle of your door is not hot before opening it. Use the back of your hand to touch the door and see if it feels hot or cold. Close it immediately if there is a fire outside and remain in your suite.
If there is little or no smoke in the hallway, go to the nearest exit. Remain close to the walls along the way. If the hallway is dark or smoky, count the doors as you move toward the exit,
using the wall to guide you. If the stairs are safe, proceed to the lobby.
Remain close to the walls along the way. If the hallway is dark or smoky, count the doors as you move toward the exit, using the wall to guide you. If the stairs are safe, proceed to the lobby.
EMERGENCY EXITS
When you arrive at your suite, please locate the nearest emergency exits. We recommend walking to the closest exits and fire extinguishers and counting the number of doors you pass. This will help you to remember their distance and location in case the hallways are dark or filled with smoke.
ALARM
If you hear an alarm while in your suite, remain where you are and wait for instructions; your Concierge will advise you of what to do next.
EMERGENCY EVACUATION ROUTE
A map showing the emergency evacuation route can be found inside the main door to your suite. Please take a moment to review it and locate your suite on the map and the evacuation route in case of an emergency.
BLOCKED EXITS
Return to your suite if the stairs are full of smoke and seem unsafe to use.
Please pay close attention to the following instructions, which explain what to do if you cannot leave your suite.
