Someone takes your luggage to your room, someone's handing you a scented cool towel, and someone else is handing you a delicious frozen treat. All the while you're being lead by your concierge host to explore the resort and go over all the possibilities! I was able to get early check in (2pm) and late check out (4pm). There were people to bring my bags to and from the room. I even got a golf cart escort back to check out. The dining options here are marvelous. Exceptional service from staff all over the resort. The room I chose was the west end one bedroom balcony suite overlooking the ocean. It was above and beyond. A little kitchenette, walk in closet, in door AND outdoor shower and a big bathtub. His and hers sinks (double). It felt like stepping into a movie. So calm, so peaceful. They have services and amenities that go above and beyond anywhere I've ever stayed before I'm already planning my next trip!

My 1,150 review is one for the books! Life this summer has been super fun and impromptu. When I…read moretell you I manifested this life, I really did. I'm a firm believer in doing right by people, loving people with all that you got, being faithful and giving them the best version of you even if they don't return it. Because when you do, it all comes back to you. Maybe not in the form of that person, but it comes back ten fold! Let people choose their ego, their ways, and their own actions become their greatest regret. When you're pure, things ALWAYS work in your favor. I am super grateful to have found the most beautiful human ever six months ago! I don't know how long he will be in my life but I'm keeping him as long as I can! He's amazing! My girlfriends say I tell all the boys that they're beautiful but he really is. He is the bougie one between us. We stayed 4 nights 5 days here at the beautiful Dorado Beach Ritz Carlton Reserve. Let's talk about the Yelp glitch. I checked in everyday only to realize it was the wrong place so beware. There is Ritz Carlton on the app but it's not this one. I think Dorado Beach at the beginning of the name throws this off. Anyway, on to this beautiful resort. If you have 2k a night to spare (for a regular room) definitely book here. Yes, two thousand dollars a night is what this beautiful resort is going for and it's worth every single penny! The younger members of our group didn't appreciate this hotel but I did! There is only a select few who can afford this place and well, I love to network so this was perfection! We met so many other couples. The families complaint was it was for couples and old people. They wanted more action so if you have younger family traveling with you this may not be the place. Honeymoon, yes! Anniversary, yes! Girls trip, yes! Couples getaway, yes! ENGAGEMENT, YES! Room: There is so much to love about this resort, let's talk about the rooms. OMG! I can't express how magical it was! I've been to quite a few resorts at 5 star hotels this summer but I can tell you this place was a little more special because it's on the beach and the plunge in the room makes it perfect for night time! ROMANTIC! I'd say this is probably the best room but also the most expensive one we've stayed at this summer. He spares no cost when it comes to me and I feel like a princess! So if you want princess treatment, this is it! Spa: Elaine was wonderful, she was my masseuse. The SPA is UNMATCHED! It's huge and it's tranquillizing. If you're balling on a budget at the very least try this spa out if you cannot afford to stay here. You will NOT regret it! They have a tree house that you can get a massage at! I opted for a traditional room, still so calm and comfortable! It smells so good! Staff: Most staff were nice but I'd honestly say they could have been nicer. These people are spending money so complaints were coming. If you're going to charge 2k a night everything should be perfect! I could totally get why the employees might be the way some of them were. Food: There is limited options on sight, luckily there are tons of options outside of the resort. COA and Positivo were two available restaurants. View is amazing and food was great! We opted to dine out every night for dinner. The HIGHLIGHT, there is a Golf Course! You already know, we love Golf! Well, I am starting to love it! And they are adding another course! I loved how pretty it was and cannot wait to come back! Now this was a luxurious peaceful vacation. Thanking God everyday for unanswered prayers! Highly recommend betting on yourself..... and coming to this hotel! Talk about a FLEX! When people take advantage of you let them, Gods in control! Redirection is Gods Devine Protection! Yes! Yes! I DO!

It is a golf course as well so if you play bring your clubs ! We don't golf but we didn't really see any golfers since the course is so well placed and spread out through the property ! As non golfers we really enjoyed every perk they had ! Stunning but difficult walk to a private beach ! No don't swim there it's super rough and no lifeguards ! Private pool/jacuzzi on every casita ! Plus a bigger pool that each guest can use .. we spent three days here after our 10 day cruise and we were so happy with everything ! Room service was quick and professional!

As always, I conducted a bunch of research, some say too much but they always ask me to find things for them... The name for the Hacienda Tamarindo is derived from Tamarindo trees on the property. If you go to Vieques there is a ferry they run all day. Ticket was two dollars. Vieques is a nature preserve so expect to see horses everywhere on the island. Oh yeah, roosters too. You need a rental car on the island. Well, at least I would recommend one and am glad I had one. There is no way to see the beaches without a vehicle. Hacienda Tamarindo will reserve your rental for you if you ask. Be aware that you may not want to arrive on the island before the rental company opens. If I'm ever on Vieques I will stay at the Hacienda Tamarindo.

This was a great place to stay. It's a little older but most the hotels in Vieques are older…read more The room was clean and comfy with great views of the ocean and wild horses. Lots of kind kitties everywhere Hacienda Tamarindo had some great amenities. - the hotel booked our rental car so it was waiting for us when we got to the hotel - you can request they make lunch for you. When we woke up they had it ready to go in a cooler for us - breakfast is included, it not a buffet either, it's a nice sit down breakfast and they serve you - the pool is open 24/7. It has a cute fountain and again great views of the beach - each room comes with a hard side cooler you can take to the beach. - there is an honor bar where you can make your own drinks - you can rent snorkeling gear, beach chairs and umbrellas from them.

The people here are so accommodating; they have 3 restaurants on the property and they are all equally good. from formal to casual you can't go wrong eating at any of them. i'm a marriott member and had some points that i used for one night and im happy i took advantage of it. unfortunately they are converting the property to a 4 seasons and it will be far more expensive to stay here. The st. regis operates like a luxury hotel should. i would give it 10 stars if i could. i used the spa facilities and the massages we got were first notch. and jesselyn was a great nature guide that took us around the property. we are sad to be leaving.

For all that this St Regis offers, the website does a terrible job of showcasing it. So here goes!…read more For kids There is an animal shelter with dogs and cats and specialist who will educate you about the animals. There is a small farm with goats to feed. My young kids were delighted with this. There is a boathouse area with free kayaking, standup paddle boarding and inflatable playground. This boathouse also offers more high-tech water sports equipment for rent. For families There are adult bikes and children's bikes on the resort that are complementary. There are golf carts that take you from one area to another as everything is pretty spread out. For example, from the main gate to the hotel is a little less than a mile. Only two free breakfast are included with Marriott status. So if you are traveling with kids, you have to pay $22 plus tip for their breakfast every morning. They have a few sand toys to share out on the beach. The large pool area does have Shallow parts for children. For adults The beach here is gorgeous though setback many yards from the hotel. The pool does not have an adult only area that I know of. There is a nice but small hot tub. You have access to all of the spa amenities every day as a guest here. There is a small gym next to the spa and a larger gym called the wellness center which is about Half a mile from the main area. Food issues The main issue here as many other of viewers have stated is the lack of decent food selection. Sea grapes is decent but only open until 5 PM. Paro gets terrible reviews and is excessively overpriced Mediterranean food. However, an Uber from the hotel to Rio Grande is not expensive around $10 and they are good restaurants, but you must do your own research. I recommend Los kioskos de luquillo Which have many food options and it is basically a beach party scene better for adult adults than kids. Service and butler service overall were spotty. We were given incorrect information multiple times. Don't forget to take a ton of cash to tip-wish they would include this in the final bill. Loved the ocean view, comfy beds, and spacious bathroom. Overall a nice stay and would consider coming back if the food options improved a bit!

Part of its charm for us was that there were so few people there on the weekdays we visited and we felt that we had our own resort Pros: -AMAZING STAFF- each and every employee we encountered at copamarina was friendly and seemed genuinely interested in making sure we were having an excellent experience- it was honestly impressive. We were wowed. - beautiful pools and hot tubs that are truly taken care of and properly maintained- there is no gross cloudy water which we experienced at many other places - in addition to the pools the entire landscape was manicured and well cared for- more so then any other place we visited. They truly reinvest in their property -wonderful food- every meal we ate here was fantastic!! Their tuna tartar was my favorite! -clean rooms and ours emptied right onto the ground floor lawn from the back so we could be in the pool in minutes- other rooms were in buildings and we truly felt we had the best spot -kayaks available and bikes for short bike trips around the property - they are working on adding an even more beautiful welcome area and lounge. They are also working on building another building that is completely detached from everything else and nowhere near rooms. I see some people complaining about the "construction" but it absolutely did not affect our stay and there was zero construction noise. It seems crazy that someone would give them 1 star for doing a great job at improving this beautiful property while not affecting the guest experience in the least. CONS: - NO SWIMMING IN OCEAN- We didn't realize you could not swim in the ocean. The water is 2 inches deep for hundreds of feet out and if you wanted to swim you'd have to go out to the dock but we don't recommend it because we saw hundreds of jelly fish. We enjoyed the pools so much that this wasn't a huge deal for us but we were disappointed for sure -Ridiculously expensive spa. I had the most expensive massage I've ever had even though it started late and was ended early. Gratuity is built in...but then they still ask you to tip on the screen so beware -you have no other option but to eat here unless you want to drive far out- it's kind of in the middle of nowhere. Meals are very expensive. Expect to pay $140 for dinner for two and know that the more casual restaurant is closed when the "fancy" restaurant is open which limits options further -they make you pay for kayak rentals which felt yuck since they are already charging a resort fee and you can't even swim in the water so most people rent the kayaks for something to do. $35 an hour? Felt crazy. Also do not attempt to kayak to Gilligans island if it's even a tiny bit windy. The kid working the kayaks told us it was fine and we felt we were lucky to come back alive as we were tossed around in the waves.

Traveling on a budget but want to be on the beach? this place is for you :…read moreI had never stayed at Luquillo Sunrise Beach Inn before, but it had been on my list for quite some time. I've always wanted to spend more time in Luquillo, and after seeing the consistently high ratings on Expedia and TripAdvisor--along with its beachfront location--I decided to give it a try. The property itself is older, but don't let that deter you. The rooms were exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made for a very relaxing stay. I loved the balcony and watching the ocean from so close! Beautiful sunrise too. Check-in is more laid-back, so don't expect a traditional front desk experience with someone always present. That said, the communication was excellent. I really appreciated that they reached out via text ahead of time to ask about my arrival--it was a thoughtful touch. I arrived earlier than the standard check-in time (as I had mentioned), and there were no issues at all. When I rang the bell, a staff member promptly came out to assist me and greeted me with a warm smile. There's also a very popular restaurant and bar on-site with an amazing-looking menu. Unfortunately, we didn't get the chance to try it this time, but it's definitely on the list for our next visit. The location is another big plus--easy to find, right on the beach, and conveniently close to a Walgreens and other nearby beaches to explore. Overall, this was a great experience, and I would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful visit!
