Some of our guests have asked why we have dehumidifiers and air purifiers in the room in addition to air conditioners, so we’d like to take a moment to explain. Our goal is to provide you with accommodations that are safe, healthy and irritant-free while minimizing energy consumption. Our HEPA air purifiers and dehumidifiers are an essential part of this commitment and improve the quality of the overall vacation experience for our guests. While our beautiful tropical weather makes for a perfect beach day, it also comes with humidity and moisture that enter the room and can cause mildew and mold. Without the use of the HEPA air purifiers and dehumidifiers, these triggers could irritate guests that suffer from allergies and respiratory problems and diminish your overall experience.
You may be wondering why are our air conditioners aren’t enough to combat this issue. Our air conditioning system is designed to be energy efficient and utilizes water to cool the air. So although it keeps the room cool, it does not dehumidify the ambient air like a CFC or gas-operated air conditioner does. While a gas-operated air conditioner removes more humidity, it also consumes more energy and releases harmful gases into the atmosphere such as Freon or similar CFC’s. As a matter of fact, Freon was recently banned. Our system eliminates this hazard and with the addition of the air purifiers, traps irritants such as pollen and other allergens.
Despite the fact that the air cleaners in place improve the overall quality of our guest’s stay, we sometimes hear complaints about the noise levels from these machines. We understand for some the noise may be too much, particularly at night, which is why you have full control of the setting of all systems and can even turn them off if it’s a bother. Should you have any issues with adjusting the system, please call the front desk and a member of the Bucuti team will gladly assist.
We appreciate and value each and every one of our guests and not only want you to have a great vacation, but we want to make sure that you stay safe and happy during your time with us. We always appreciate your feedback, and hope you understand your wellbeing is always a top priority.
