Purity, what touches your body

Purity Score pending. We score this once dated, sourced evidence covers at least 70% of the weight. Missing evidence is not a negative finding.

Throne Standard for stays 2.2. Purity Score weights: Water you drink and bathe in 25%, Food on your plate 20%, Grounds and pest control 15%, Cleaning, laundry and fragrance 15%, Linen, towels and mattresses 10%, Air and quiet 10%, Pool and bathing water 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. Missing pillars lower coverage and stay outside the calculation. A score needs at least 70% coverage. 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. Every level can be earned from public, dated evidence; no score requires a visit. Evidence must be rechecked within two years.

Eco Amenities An article still published on the hotel's own site, but written in 2018 or 2019, says the Eco Divers Reef Foundation ran a coral nursery at Sunset House and that the hotel offered the PADI Reef Renewal course. Current pages (home, about, specialty courses) no longer mention the nursery or the course, so this is historic evidence and capped at level 1. The same 2018 or 2019 article says the restaurant moved to cardboard take-out boxes and paper straws and the dive boats carry skimming nets for floating plastic. Not restated on the current site, so historic and capped at level 1.
Activities to do Shore diving, boat dives, Kittiwake wreck, PADI courses, snorkeling tours, pool
