Vacations are meant to be guilt-free. As a traveller, you probably browse accommodations based not only on amenities and service offerings, but also on sustainability. The challenge is finding options that score highly in both respects without compromise. Luckily for those looking toward the Caribbean, there’s an easy way of finding such hoteliers: the E-Finity Caribbean Green Awards. Every year, this review recognises people, projects, and places leading sustainable tourism in the region. Kokomo Botanical Resort is pleased to be among the nominees for the Class of 2025.
About the E-Finity Caribbean Green Awards
Initiatives like the E-Finity Caribbean Green Awards are much more than symbolic. When it comes to doing business in one of the most naturally beautiful – and delicate – environments in the world, there’s a real need to invest in and promote sustainability. ZPower generation company E-Finity’s partnership with Caribbean Journal does just that across various highly competitive categories.
Titles for 2025 include:
- Green Destination of the Year
- Sustainable Hotel of the Year
- Green All‑Inclusive Resort of the Year
- Green Hotelier of the Year
- Green Development of the Year
- Marine Conservation Award
- Green Leadership Award
- Green Agriculture Award
- Green Design Firm of the Year
How Winners are Selected
The only thing worse than an award being symbolic is it being undeserved. An unfortunate number of industry recognition programs don’t do a deep enough dive into candidate selection and vetting – and some even allow paid placements. Is that shiny badge on the website truly earned, or simply bought?
The E-Finity Caribbean Green Awards can be trusted as a truly reflective picture of leadership in sustainability. It reviews each nominee through rigorous evaluation criteria that include measurable environmental impact, community engagement, and long-term commitment to sustainable practices.
In 2024, over 20,000 public votes informed winner selection. That population spanned eight countries throughout the Caribbean. A democratic approach ensures that winners truly reflect the values and priorities of Caribbean communities, rather than industry insiders or corporate sponsors. The combination of expert evaluation and grassroots support creates a selection process that identifies organizations making real, measurable differences in sustainability across the islands.
Special Announcement: Kokomo Has Been Nominated for the Caribbean Green Awards
This year, Kokomo Botanical Resort has been nominated in the Caribbean Green Awards for Sustainable Hotel of the Year.
Several initiatives got us here: comprehensive waste reduction, renewable energy integration, locally-sourced dining partnerships, and land management practices that protect the delicate coral reef systems surrounding our waters reflect our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible tourism practices.
The nomination process itself involved extensive documentation of sustainability metrics, third-party verification of our environmental claims, and testimonials from both guests and local community partners who have witnessed our commitment firsthand. It’s an honour to be named among distinguished service providers, architectural firms, farms, and other entities ranging from the Caribbean Network of Rural Women Producers to Atlantis Blue Project Foundation.
Why Kokomo Has Been Nominated for the Caribbean Green Awards
Kokomo Botanical Resort’s established track record of five-star service bodes well for its chances of winning. We encourage supporters to help out by voting and sharing the word. The Caribbean Journal has published a link that will remain active until Oct. 31. Winners are to be announced in mid-November.
No matter the outcome, this nomination represents validation of our sustainability efforts and reinforces our commitment to protecting the Caribbean’s natural beauty for future generations. The recognition alone elevates important conversations about responsible tourism and demonstrates that luxury hospitality and environmental stewardship can work hand in hand.
Contestancy in the Caribbean Green Awards is just one of many achievements Kokomo Botanical Resort has to its name. Our business has earned recognition from leading travel publications, including TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Award and Wellness Resort of the Year 2025.
Beyond awards, our partnerships with local conservation groups and marine research organizations have contributed to meaningful environmental impact throughout the region.
From the freshwater oasis pool, water sports, and snorkeling adventures to the abundance of native botanical species we’ve cultivated on our grounds, every aspect of the Kokomo experience is designed to connect guests with the Caribbean’s natural splendor while actively protecting it. Our guests often leave not just relaxed and rejuvenated, but also more aware of their role in preserving these precious ecosystems for future generations.
