Dorado Beach Plantation — Hotel in Dorado

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Plantation Resort for a long weekend and what a wonderful weekend it was! The apartment we had was true to its pictures and hardly looked like anyone had ever used it. It was simply pristine! My family loved having a patio to sit out on every day for breakfast and the vistas of the golf course were absolutely beautiful. Another great thing about the apartment were that the three bedrooms were completely private. Once one went into one's bedroom you really could feel like you were in a totally separate hotel room. ||||The service provided by the Plantation Resort and the Ritz hotel itself was also superb. We had an issue one night with our golf cart and the Ritz front desk came to our rescue even though we were not staying there and security at Plantation Resort took care of everything for us. They literally made our experience seamless. ||||As everyone else has previously mentioned the facilities at this Ritz Reserve are out of this world. I have been to a lot of nice resorts, but this is definitely at the top. They spared nothing in their attention to detail and the result is that you really feel like you have been transported to some tropical paradise. I would highly recommend checking at the Spa if you can. The massage I had cured the cold I was catching, but more than that the experience of just being in the spa was incredible. ||||The other thing that really put this resort over the top for me was the food. Most of the time when I have travelled to top resorts in the Caribbean the food is the Achilles heel. Not here! As one of my companions said, if he could pick his last meal on earth he would have it at Mi Casa. The food at Positivo was my favorite, personally, but overall we were just very impressed. ||||The only two things that could use some improvement from my perspective were the transport service that the resort recommends and the wifi. I literally had to chase the guy down at the airport, because he wasn't even holding a sign with our name on it. The other issue was the wifi in the apartment really was not usable at all. I could not hold a signal for any length of time and if I had to work while there this would have been a very big issue for me. ||||Other than that, my whole experience with booking and communicating with the resort was terrific and I cannot recommend this resort...

My wife and two daughters recently spent five nights at this property, which is located adjacent to the Ritz Carlton Dorado Beach about 35 miles west of San Juan, Puerto Rico. The property is beautiful and immaculately maintained. Our room was beautiful and clean, with all amenities that we would ordinarily expect from a top hotel other than room service (which, frankly, is not really relevant for us). The staff on property were superb, friendly, always available, and, most importantly, always happy. We did not play golf but the courses looked beautiful. Access to the Ritz property via golf cart is easy, quick, and a fun thing for the kids. The trip to the beach at the Encanto (on the Ritz property) is about five minutes --- an easy drive all on paved roads. The Encanto has a beautiful pool that is great for kids ---- perhaps the best pool for kids that I've ever seen. The beach is right next to that pool and is very gentle. Those wanting even small waives will be disappointed but the beach is very attractive. The Ritz property is stunning and you have access to all of the Ritz other than its more upscale, private beach and private pool (that pool is much more aimed at adults). In short, this is a great place for a...

I stayed with friends after getting a secret deal on hotwire. The property is gorgeous. A water park, state of the art gym, clubhouse and pool are all on the resort property. 5 minutes away in your complimentary golf cart are all the amenities available to Ritz Carlton including two fabulous beaches and two more pools plus restaurants. The grounds are lush and quiet and the staff is very warm and helpful. I usually don't like to repeat destinations but I'll definitely be back here. The surrounding town has some nice authentic Puerto Rican cuisine but there is also American fast food chains, a large supermarket open late and drug stores like walgreen's just a few minutes off of the property. Do rent a car as there is not sufficient public transport to get you to popular sites like the Camuy caves, old San Juan or...
