Hyatt Regency Grand Reserve Puerto Rico
Nice property, isolated from any town. Quiet, pretty. They tend to play music—sometimes loudly—at the pools and restaurants, so be forewarned if you are someone who prefers quiet. Staff are super nice and helpful; extremely welcoming.

Hyatt Vacation Club at Hacienda del Mar, Dorado
Staff was good, not clean at all. LOUD every single morning and night we were woken up to people yelling and hearing people through the walls. The walls are paper-thin, the rooms fridge and alliances don’t look like they have ever been cleaned. The bugs are horrid. No restaurant and it took over ...
