Of course, the resort doesn't stop there. This eco-resort attracts 20,000 visitors a year and each part of the place is working to protect the environment. Like the elevated walkways that prevent soil erosion and protect the beach and its fragile coral.<p><blockquote><p>Lots of recycled building materials, such as "plastic lumber" and recycled glass tiles, were used in construction that also minimized removal of native plants. juliana 2006-08-31T09:41:57-05:00 Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
