The only hotel designed by Oscar de la Renta, a 13 villa enclave beside the Ojos Indígenas reserve inside Puntacana Resort.
Environmental evidence and weighted assessment
Environmental performance and evidence coverage are measured separately. Ownership and community information remain separate from this environmental rating.
| Pillar | Weight | Performance level | Contribution | Evidence and source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nature, biodiversity and regeneration | 30% | 2/4 | 15 / 30 points | The hotel's sustainability page says Fundación Puntacana, the group's foundation, runs coral reef restoration, Ridgway's Hawk protection and turtle nest protection in the neighbouring Ojos Indígenas reserve. These are group foundation projects described in one self-reported sentence, with no hotel-specific figures. Source · 2026-10-29 · Corroborating source |
| Energy and climate | 15% | 1/4 | 3.75 / 15 points | Solar power and energy efficiency are named only in a generic list of group programmes run with Fundación Puntacana, with no system described and no figures. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Water | 10% | 1/4 | 2.5 / 10 points | Water conservation is listed as a programme but no specific system is described. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Waste and plastic | 10% | 2/4 | 5 / 10 points | The hotel names an Earth Flow composting system turning organic waste into soil. Recycling and single-use plastic elimination are only listed generically, so one specific system is evidenced. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Food, farming and sourcing | 10% | 1/4 | 2.5 / 10 points | The Bamboo restaurant says its menu uses locally sourced food, with no named suppliers or own garden. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Buildings, heritage reuse and land use | 15% | 1/4 | 3.75 / 15 points | Rooms are decorated with locally sourced materials. This describes decor rather than construction, and no building or land-use detail is given. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Transport and operational footprint | 5% | 2/4 | 2.5 / 5 points | Guests get electric golf carts and bicycles to move around the resort. Source · 2026-10-29 |
| Measurement, transparency and certification | 5% | Missing or stale evidence | Unknown |
Standard 2.2 (draft) weights conservation and habitat at 30%, heritage reuse and land use at 15%, energy at 15%, water at 10%, waste at 10%, food at 10%, transport at 5% and transparency at 5%. A pillar contributes its weight multiplied by its performance level divided by four. Solar equipment alone cannot establish a high overall score. Missing pillars are excluded from the performance denominator and reduce evidence coverage. Performance levels: 0 documented absence or contrary evidence; 1 claim; 2 a specific implemented system; 3 several evidenced systems; 4 quantified outcomes or independently verified exceptional implementation. Ratings require at least 70% coverage; below 85% coverage they are capped at 3/5. If less than half the weighted evidence supports implemented systems, the rating is capped at 2/5. The rating is 1 plus 4 times the evidenced performance, rounded. A 5/5 also needs at least 90% coverage, 90% performance, level 4 evidence on at least half the weight, and nature conservation at level 3 or above. Accommodation scores are coming once this category passes its release checks. Evidence must be rechecked within two years.
