Grand Pacific Resorts at Coronado Beach

Amanda Dolan, general manager at Coronado Beach Resort, chairs the green committee at Grand Pacific Resorts. Here she shares about the resort management company’s heart for the environment.

Q: Tell me a little bit about the green committee you chair.

A: There are currently 13 people on the committee. They’re all from different departments within Grand Pacific Resorts, and we’re leading the internal efforts to make the resorts in our family and our home office more sustainable. The committee has really picked up steam in the past year. We meet regularly to implement new initiatives and raise awareness among our associates and owners.

Q: What is Grand Pacific Resorts doing to reduce its environmental footprint?

A: Grand Pacific Resorts has a long history of caring for the environment. But we’ve always focused on the changes that are easy to make, like installing low-flow showerheads and having recycling bins in the units. We’ve done all that really well, but there’s been a shared feeling that we need to do more, and that’s what we’re working on now—taking it to the next level.

Q: How does sustainability fit into the overall mission of Grand Pacific Resorts—to enhance lives through extraordinary experiences?

A: In the timeshare industry, we’re all about bringing multiple generations together. David Brown, our Co-President, often talks about how owners look forward to passing their ownership down their kids and grandkids as a legacy. And ultimately, that’s what sustainability is all about—protecting our finite resources so they’re there for future generations. Timeshare ownership and sustainability go hand in hand.
