Excellent golf hotel. Awesome rooms and service in a great location. Great pool. Awesome vibe.

Once a plantation, Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve is now a private estate resort in Puerto Rico inspired by the legacy and memorable vacation experiences of its original developer, Laurance S. Rockefeller. Its remoteness, discreet individualized service, and deep respect for the environment distinguish it from other luxury hotels in the Caribbean. As the first Reserve in the Americas, the Reserve component on its own offers guests a truly extraordinary experience pairing top tier service and exclusivity with Puerto Rico’s rich landscape and culture.
