Sustainability at Breakfree Acapulco

Here at Breakfree Acapulco, we are committed to embedding sustainability into every facet of our daily operations. We recognise that sustainability is an ongoing journey and are continually striving to reduce our carbon footprint wherever possible. Below are some of the initiatives we have implemented to date.

Dry Amenities

We are delighted to share our ongoing commitment to reducing single-use plastics in our guest rooms. As part of this initiative, we have made a significant decision to eliminate single-use dry amenities, taking a bold step towards a plastic-free environment. By removing single-use plastic amenities such as toothbrushes, combs, and shower caps from our guest rooms, we are significantly reducing our environmental footprint. Instead, guests can request dry amenities by calling room service or visiting our friendly team at reception.

Large Amenities

As part of our ongoing efforts, we have made the proactive decision to move to large format amenities, replacing our single-use plastic common amenities with eco-friendly pump dispensers throughout the hotel. By eliminating single-use plastic bottles, we are significantly reducing the amount of waste generated by our operations. This commitment aligns with our dedication to environmental stewardship and reflects our ongoing efforts to improve sustainability in all aspects of our hotel.

Recycling

At Breakfree Acapulco, all hotel waste is separated into co-mingle, cardboard, food waste and general waste, minimising our impact on landfill.  In addition, we have taken a number of steps to further reduce water and embrace a circular system including:

  • Participation in Containers for Change 10 cent recycling program
  • Removal of single use plastics across our in-room amenities
  • Bulk Ordering to reduce delivery frequencies

Community Support

We are committed to maintaining strong connections with our local community and give back wherever possible by:

  • Donating any non-perishable food items to Rosies, who help members of the community struggling with homelessness
  • Donating any lost property to local charities

Acknowledgement of Country

The Breakfree Acapulco team acknowledge the ongoing connection to country of the traditional custodians of this beautiful region, the Yugambeh People. Visitors to the Gold Coast can enhance their experience by learning of the region’s connection to the people & stories of the Yugambeh.  We pay our respects to their Elder’s past, present & emerging.

Breakfree Acapulco has secure undercover parking which is accessible via ramp. Ramp access to reception is available via the undercover carpark as well as the back entrance to the property.  While we do not currently have any designated accessible rooms, our spacious apartments all have at least one walk in shower to accommodate guests with mobility challenges. Breakfree Acapulco is not a pet friendly hotel, however, assistance animals are always welcome.
