Eco Friendly Highlights:
Morgan Rock ecolodge has solar panels that produce hot water, 40% of the water is recycled. Morgan Rock eco lodge has an organic farm, and use biodegradable cleaning products. They preach reforestation and conservation of the local area, reuse the wood from fallen trees as support material wherever needed. The Eco Lodge has a baby turtle conservation project that is a nesting beach for sea turtles. The furniture in the rooms (beds, desks, chairs, etc.) was made by local artisans using the “leftover” wood from the bungalow construction. All buildings accommodate slopes and trees. Minimal earth movement and cutting of trees (only the ones in poor condition) was done. Instead of using local septic tanks for each bungalow, a centralized system for gray and black water with a bio filter system was installed. Treated water is used for irrigation. |
