Hotel Esencia combines heritage preservation with sustainable practice. It treats nearly 300,000 liters of wastewater daily for garden irrigation, composts organic waste, and provides Sky-Ha rainwater bottled responsibly nearby. From March to October, the property safeguards six turtle species that nest on Xpu-Ha beach, releasing thousands of hatchlings under SEMARNAT-certified programs. Conservation efforts extend to dune reforestation and protecting mangrove and sea grape habitats. Esencia’s community outreach includes supporting a nursing home in Valladolid and collaborating with INPAVI (Integración para la Vida), a Mexican NGO focused on integral aid to vulnerable families. Through this alliance, the hotel helps fund programs in education, social support, and community development.
