Building The Energy-Efficient Resorts of Tomorrow's Tropical Paradises
Whether we like to admit it, humanity values structure and routine. We don’t like surprises unless it’s cash or instant gratification. But that doesn’t mean there should be anything routine about our next vacation or travel destination. And a little guidance never hurt when it comes to making the most out of a trip abroad. You know what the say, sometimes it’s best to trust a local. And as with most vacationers, they have a finite time that can tear themselves away from the shackles of a cubicle. With so much to see and do, it’s easy for even the most seasoned jet-setter to get a little overwhelmed and feel as if they’re missing out on something better. You probably know that feeling all too well. You’re cruising right along on the open water on your jet ski or Sea-Doo, and your mind is already wandering ahead on the next activity or the best restaurant to try fresh seafood. Even on vacation, it can be hard to just live in the moment and relax! That’s why so many people are turning to resorts to make the most of their trip in paradise without exceeding their vacation budget. Resorts typically fall within the “all inclusive” price range, so you know exactly what you’re getting and usually there’s no hidden service fees. It’s also a great way to see all the tropical islands have to offer.
Building the Next Vacation Paradise
While Cayman Structural Group specializes in individualistic and customized luxury vacation homes, we’ve also found a calling for creating refined vacation experiences for all visitors to the islands. Resorts are becoming increasingly popular on the Cayman Islands, and for good reason.
Caribbean resorts provide just enough of a structure so vacationers can make the most of their island getaway without being reminded of the 9-5 drudgery. Most resorts also have a wide variety of programs and activities to choose from, so vacationers never have to worry about downtime. Many resorts even have onsite restaurants, so guests aren’t wasting any time Ubering to and from town every time they want to catch a bite to eat. Most vacationers end up spending most of their money on food and drinks in addition to their lodgings. Resorts take out this guess work. While crashing at condo or hotel might be ideal for young couples on a romantic getaways, resorts have a special appeal to families. Overworked parents need a break from time to time, so resorts offer some much-needed distraction for them to finally get some alone time before dinner and after the kids finally pass out. Older couples who’ve outgrown the frantic vacation dash and looking for something more relaxed are also making their way to all-inclusive resorts. The amenities at most resorts are so accommodating that many guests elect to spend their entire vacation at the venue, especially if it’s located on the water.
Preserving the Pristine Paradise with Common Sense Building Practices
While most vacations flirt with extravagance, the means to provide for these posh trips should never put a strain on our environment. With so much emphasis now being placed on lessening construction’s carbon footprint on the planet, many builders are implementing eco-friendly building practices. Cayman Structural Groups is spearheading those efforts on the islands with ongoing construction activities at the Periwinkle community.
As you might have remembered, Periwinkle is the islands’ first LEED sustainable community. At its core, LEED is a “green” building rating system and principles that showcase and emphasize the importance of sustainable architecture. The Periwinkle Community was unlike any other protect we’ve tackled. As with the case with any large housing project, we implement sound building practices that have a minimal environmental impact on the affected ecosystem. Progress should never coincide with pollution or degradation. Effervescent Caribbean waters and pristine beaches are the islands’ leading natural resources, and we would never do anything to detract from this setting of tranquility.
