Choosing your stay: eco hotels in the Caribbean compared
An eco hotel lets you enjoy the islands knowing your stay runs on clean energy and local sourcing rather than quietly draining the place you came to see.
These are the eco hotels we rate most in the Caribbean, spread across British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Saint Lucia and Jamaica.
Each one has been independently checked for how it actually runs, its energy, water, food and who owns it, so you can book a place that genuinely lives up to what it promises.
If these eco hotels are your kind of place, you will also like our eco lodges or beachfront stays.
