Eco Amenities The 2025 eco page lists reef-safe sunscreen, dive briefings, underwater and beach clean-ups and no jet skis. These are self-reported practices with no reserve, restoration or monitoring programme, so graded as a claim. The eco page states LED lighting and energy-efficient appliances across the resort plus guest AC-use reminders. No renewable generation is stated. Low-flow fixtures and a linen reuse programme are stated on the eco page, with filtered water served in place of bottled. The eco page says single-use plastics and disposable toiletries were replaced, rooms get refillable glass water bottles and kitchen scraps go to local farmers and the Bruno Project. All self-reported on one bullet list with no figures or verification, so held at one evidenced system level. The eco page says it prioritises Saint Lucian farmers and fishermen and that many ingredients are grown on site, but names no suppliers and gives no garden detail or share of produce, so it is a claim only. The eco page cites open-air architecture and shaded landscaping to cut cooling demand, and the resort keeps the original gingerbread beach cottages from the Barnard family's early hotel. The eco page says only that staff commutes are optimised to reduce emissions, with no shuttle or scheme described.
Activities to do StolenTime includes yoga, tai chi, pilates, archery, tennis, scuba diving, water sports and Ayurvedic spa treatments in its stay.
Food Options All meals included

Throne Standard for stays 2.2. Accommodation Eco Score weights: Nature, biodiversity and regeneration 30%, Energy and climate 15%, Water 10%, Waste and plastic 10%, Food, farming and sourcing 15%, Buildings, heritage reuse and land use 15%, Measurement, transparency and certification 5%. Each pillar earns its weight times its level divided by four. The score is 1 plus 4 times the evidenced performance, shown to one decimal, so 0% is 1.0 and 100% is 5.0. A pillar the stay does not disclose, after we read its own pages, counts as 0 and is shown as Not disclosed, with every page we read linked, because silence is an answer too. Every finding quotes its source word for word. Below 85% coverage, below 70% performance, or with less than half the weight at level 2 or above, the score is held under the next whole number (3.4 or 2.4). A 5.0 band needs 90% coverage and performance, level 4 evidence on half the weight and the key pillar at level 3 or above. Green flags are pillars at level 3 or 4. Every level can be earned from public, dated evidence; no score requires a visit. Evidence must be rechecked within two years. Guest travel is not scored; everyone gets there how they can.
