Hi! Also in San Juan is the St. Regis resort (different direction from the airport). I have stayed there four times and written an article on my blog about my favorite tips and tricks at the St Regis in Puerto Rico here nickgray.net/st-regis-san-juan/

Dorado is a beautiful place to be, and the Ritz Carlton Reserve is just gorgeous. Adding to that is the fact that people in the island are so warm and friendly.

Nice job. My parents vacationed at Dorado Beach in the 1960’s. It was one of my mom’s favorite vacation destinations.

As a kid growing up in PR, back in the late 60s we used to drive around the hotel grounds. Back then there was no check point at the entrance. There was hardly any development then, just the slendid vegetation that made feel like you were in another world😊. As an adult, I stayed in a room like yours, Stll splendid. It is probably the most beautiful and heavenly hotel in PR. Quiet, no elevators, just peace.

Very thorough video, thank you for sharing. Are you traveling around the island of Puerto Rico or just staying in Dorado? I prefer Rincon on the very western tip of the island with the Lighthouse and surfing but you piqued my interest in the area. Can you talk more about the beaches and water there? I saw a lot of rocks so I'm not sure how far out you can swim and is it possible to snorkel and see tropical fish, etc?

@nickgray 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks John! I've traveled around Puerto Rico a lot this year, but this trip was just to visit the Ritz-Carlton Reserve at Dorado Beach. It is NOT a good spot for snorkeling (the best snorkeling I found was out at Steps Beach in Rincon, on the other side of the island).

Did you fly into San Juan International and if so, was airport transfer included or how much did you have to pay?

@nickgray 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Omar, yes I flew into SJU. The hotel will arrange a transfer if you want. But you can also easily get a taxi outside baggage claim (large white vans). I had a special situation myself and was able to take an Uber. However Uber pickups are NOT allowed directly at San Juan International airport. You must leave the airport in order to use Uber in Puerto Rico.

THE HOTEL AND RESORT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE A PRIVATE RESIDENCE HOME THAT IS RITZ CARLTON DORADO BEACH. IT IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO PUERTO RICO. BY THE LOVE OF GOD AND MY BEAUTIFUL FRIENDS I AM GOING TO SEE MANY BEAUTIFUL PLACES ALL OVER THE WORLD. I WILL BREAK DOWN AND CRY WITH COMPLETE GRATITUDE AND HAPPINESS. IT IS ALL A MIRACLE.

Looking to stay here but it’s soOOOo expensive. 600+100$ crazy resort fee. Did you book through a travel agent and get a better price?

@nickgray 4 жыл бұрын

Oof, yes: very expensive. We actually paid a bit more per night (around $1100). We used a travel agent, or my friend Ramit did, and thanks to that, we were all able to get an awesome upgrade.
