We Love What We Do
Our Essence.
Hotel Punta Islita opened its doors in 1994 in an economically depressed area formerly over-exploited by unsustainable cattle ranching and wood extraction. The surrounding tropical dry forest had been stripped, access to education was limited, and professional opportunities were inexistent.
The pillars.
Our corporate social responsibility sets us apart.
Today Hotel Punta Islita’s sphere of influence is not only a globally-recognized travel destination but a thriving region characterized by a healthy natural environment and a dynamic collective of travel professionals and community micro-entrepreneurs.
The Initiatives

Hotel Punta Islita has obtained tangible benefits from its social investment. The high quality of the staff and the manifest authenticity that permeates the visitor’s vacation experience have been critical to Hotel Punta Islita’s success.

The Environment

Prior to the hotel’s involvement, the area’s tropical dry forest had been stripped due to unsustainable cattle ranching, indiscriminate hunting, and slash-and-burn agriculture.
