 Beach and Mangrove Cleaning
Twice a month, Royalton Riviera Cancun management and staff actively engage in beach and mangrove cleanup activities, which are located adjacent to the property. Through these initiatives, the resort aims to foster awareness among staff, suppliers, visitors, and guests regarding their sustainability policy, which is wholeheartedly committed to preserving precious resources and minimizing impact on the environment. On average, the clean ups successfully collect between 40 to 60 kg of inorganic waste, encompassing plastics, cans, paper, wrappers, cigarette butts, and more.
