At a glance
Dorado Beach was opened in 1950 and has been welcoming guests from around the world ever since. The property is part of the Ritz-Carlton family and boasts the same level of service that has made the chain an internationally recognised name.
When Dorado Beach was being designed, the creative visionaries behind its planning decided that no building on the estate could reach heights higher than the tallest palm tree. This foresight means that to this day guests can enjoy a sense of luscious seclusion that is evocative of the authentic Puerto Rican culture that surrounds the resort. From opulent suites to sprawling private villas, Dorado Beach has a range of accommodation types to choose from, each of which enjoys access to the beautifully manicured estate grounds.

Our Experts
I can't get enough of Puerto Rico. For me, its beauty is all about its diversity and I'm always surprised by how much variety can be found on one small island. Puerto Rico is a must-visit destination.
If you're looking for pristine beaches, lush jungles, and lively towns you just can't beat Puerto Rico. It's also one of the most gay-friendly Caribbean islands, and somewhere I love sending clients.
Stellar service. Stellar products. Stellar people and it gets so much better when you pick up the phone and call.
