Dorado Beach, a Ritz Carlton Reserve

Restaurant at Ritz Carlton Dorado Beach

In the 1960's Dorado Beach in Puerto Rico was a location where the glamorous and jet-set stayed.  Located just outside San Juan, this beautiful beach beckoned with sun and sand once Laurance Rockefeller opened his RockResorts in 1958.  Just recently the fabulous Ritz-Carlton has opened one of their Reserve Resorts, once again making Dorado Beach "the place to stay in 2013."

One of the most intriguing locations on the property has to be Su Casa, the crown jewel of Dorado Beach.  Su Casa is the restored Spanish Hacienda that was originally built in the 1920's.  Ritz-Carlton lovingly rehabilitated this structure to its original glory and today it boasts four spacious guest rooms, a very elegant living room, a gorgeous dining room and a spacious outdoor veranda and infinity pool.  This plantation home was at its prime when Rockefeller owned the property and today travel experts seem to think it is one of the greats when it comes to new accommodations.  Stay where old style meets modern convenience at Su Casa, beachfront at Ritz Carlton Reserve Dorado Beach.
