Grand Residences Riviera Cancun Sows the Seeds for Success with Green Initiatives

The leading resort in Cancun, Cozumel and Riviera Maya receives honors for its environmental dedication

. April 02, 2015

CANCUN, Mexico - April 2, 2015 - Already the leading resort on TripAdvisor in the entire Yucatan Peninsula, Grand Residences Riviera Cancun garners notice for its extensive reforestation and landscaping work to help local plants thrive. The 103-all-suite resort, a member of Leading Hotels of the World, debuted in December 2013 and was recently included as one of a few trendsetting resorts boasting on-staff botanists and horticulturists by The New York Times.
With nearly four acres devoted to reforestation and landscaping, Grand Residences has been able to restore native species that thrive in the environment, limit the invasion of foreign plants that could pose a threat and attract local wildlife, thereby providing a truly authentic and unique experience to guests. Overseeing the gardens is Resort Biologist Norma Rodriguez, an environmental engineer who has helped to raise and nurture about 100,000 mangrove and local species seedlings since the resort's nursery was created in 2008.
The resort's extensive efforts to preserve local flora and fauna and, as a result, attract natural wildlife caught the attention of The New York Times. The powerhouse publication commended the resort's use of its expansive reforestation area, devoted only to local plants such as the white and Botoncillo mangroves, spider lilies and sea grapes.

“Our commitment to the environment is of the utmost importance,” said Grand Residences General Manager Carlo Bicaci. “All projects, from protecting the surrounding mangroves to creating our own nursery to restoring a lot formerly filled with rubble, have helped us to bring wildlife back to this area while simultaneously offering a unique experience to our guests: to see species of plants and birds that they might not otherwise see.”
