Ritz Reserve at Dorado Beach Resort & Golf Club

Welcome to Ritz Reserve at Dorado Beach

Ritz Reserve at Dorado Beach Resort & Golf Club was once a plantation but is now one of the most prestigious Caribbean luxury resorts in Puerto Rico, thanks to the vision of original developer Laurance S. Rockefeller and his focus on creating an unforgettable vacation experience. Its peaceful isolation, discreet personalized care, strong sense of community, and profound concern for the environment set it apart from other resorts as a unique destination for experiencing unforgettable moments.

Dorado Beach, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, is home to world-class amenities, including two stunning 18-hole golf courses, The Beach Club’s numerous pools, and the historic Rockefeller Nature Trail. All the rooms at this beachfront resort include floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that open to the ocean, separate living areas, and luxurious amenities like oversized soaking tubs, outdoor showers surrounded by lush gardens, and plunge pools or private balconies.
