Dorado, Puerto Rico

Dorado Beach, a Ritz Carlton Reserve

An Insider's Take
'This isn't just any Ritz-Carlton—it's a Reserve property, meaning you're getting their most exclusive tier of luxury on a former Rockefeller family estate.' What's Special? Built on the legendary Laurance Rockefeller estate from the 1950s, this oceanfront sanctuary spans 1,400 acres of pristine coastline. The property features two Robert Trent Jones Sr. championship golf courses and is one of only a handful of Ritz-Carlton Reserve properties worldwide. The beach here is consistently ranked among Puerto Rico's most beautiful, with calm waters perfect for swimming year-round.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Book the Su Casa service for ultimate privacy—your own dedicated house car, butler, and beach setup. It's like having a personal concierge team just for you.
Don't Miss The historic Plantation House, once the Rockefeller family's private residence, now houses the resort's signature restaurant. Also explore nearby Old San Juan (just 20 minutes away) with its colorful colonial architecture and El Yunque National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. National Forest System.
